At first I wanted to be a journalist but I find the media to be corrupt and the root of many problems. Dont get me wrong we need the media but not all of it. Thats why I want to be a lawyer it takes more school but its something im passionate about.
 
A newspaper or TV journalist. A criminal defense or prosecutor lawyer.
Lawyers make more. Journalists see more. Both of these jobs would ideally be in New York.
 
You are thinking about this wrong. You are thinking only about the amount of income. You need to think/consider what you enjoy doing. I suggest that you take a "vocational test" - this isn't a real test, but rather asks you about your skills, interests, likes, and dislikes. THIS is the best way to choose a career - THIS can save you a lot of time and money.

By the way, jobs in the field of Law are drying up FAST!! This is NOT a good field to invest time/money in!!! Many reasons. THE main reason?.........We simply have WAY TOO MANY Attorneys/Lawyers - we have a GLUT!!!

So even IF you finish law school, you probably won't be able to find a job when you are done. Now the law schools know this> the market/economy is SATURATED - but they won't tell you the truth. The law schools continue to churn out law graduates. A law student is easy money for a law school - a law school has to make very little investment in a law student, compared to other areas of study.

Now if you want a JOB when you are done with your studies, consider and look into the field of HEALTHCARE!< THIS is where the jobs are! and scholarships!

Good luck.
