Pound for pound isn't a profession in law miles ahead of one in medicine?

If you are planning a profession after high school pound for pound isn’t it better to go into law than medicine? The schooling is way shorter, the earning potential after college is more than double, even as an associate you can earn more than $100 and hour, (you won’t get that as an intern), and the likelihood that you’d be sued is very small. A big added bonus is you get to pay off the college debt way quicker. Pound for pound why not steer a teen towards law and them them to dump medicine?
