== Problematic sentence on compensation ==

The first sentence under compensation says the following: "''In the United States, lawyers typically earn between $100,000 and $220,000 per year, although earnings vary by age, experience, and practice setting.''"

Does anyone else see the problematic and logically unsound issue with this sentence? In the United States '''''especially''''', lawyer salaries vary ''greatly'', depending on year of call, work environment/firm/institution, school graduated from, and a million other factors that are holistically connected. Some of the sources mention this, so to say the vary so greatly based on various factors but then give a vague range is '''completely illogical'''. I decided to avoid [[WP:BOLD|being bold]] and removing this sentence because of it's references so I thought I would bring it here for discussion first. I should additionally point out that $100,000 - $220,000 is a massive range so for this to be designated as the "average" (see the word ''"typically"''that was used) is weird to claim, particularly if we combine it with the second half of the sentence that gives the "variation" caveat.
