Let's just say you have a lot of options to choose from, and being that lawyers are known to have beefier wallets than, say, writers, it's safe to say that what you do with the major influences your pay stub a bit more than the major itself.
More important, of course, is the idea that picking this major likely means that you care more about making the world a better place for Asian-Americans than cracking your skull trying to take a Scrooge McDuck-style money bath.
The really good news is that you'll get to do just that and earn yourself more job satisfaction than others get with fancy-schmancy majors that lead to a few more digits on payday. Chances are, you're going to see some corrupt, intolerant, or just apathetic people do some nasty stuff, but doing your part to change it will make you feel better than being some pointy-eared boss for one of those "major international conglomerate" things.
