It depends. If you compare what the judge would be making in private practice compared to what he makes as a judge, that would be a joke. The same person would make a lot more in private practice compared to being on the bench. Most federal district court judges make about $125,000 a year maybe $150,000 a year which is peanuts compared to what they would be making in private practice (which would probably be from $500,000 to millions of dollars) as a partner in a large firm.

In fact, many judges leave the bench and become lawyers again because of the great discrepancy in pay. The chief judge in the US district court in the state where I went to law school left the bench and came to the large firm where I use to work. While I do not know the exact amount he is making, I am sure it is at least $500,000 a year which is much more than double the amount he was making as a judge.

By the way, you should not make your career decision based on pay when it comes to the law. It's a big investment (financially, mentally, and intellectually) to go into this field because of all the work and the difficulty of the work. That's why we can charge the $200-$1000/hour billable rates as lawyers. If the work was easy, we wouldn't be able to charge that. When I was a law student, my firm billed my work out at $180 an hour.....and that was after 1 year of law school.

You have to be a lawyer before becoming a judge. No shortcuts. Judge makes the highest income of the three you listed.

You have to be able to graduate from college to be a judge or an attorney, and judging by your spelling??? You might look into being a police officer, but in the meantime figure out the difference between which and witch!
