In the US, a Supreme Court clerk makes like $50k a year. But after a year, they're often offered $400k signing bonuses and $200k+ salaries at law firms. Getting a SCOTUS clerkship is like a golden employment ticket.

Prestigious job here also, but it does not convert to a private job after that. Alot of them stay for a while as a Supreme Court clerk.

For example, a 7-11 worker in Thailand makes about USD$1/hr.

I know someone who is lawyer and is a clerk on the Supreme Court for a judge. Basically, she writes the opinions that are issued and to a certain extent, helps guide how the judge will vote.

(Side note, I wonder how much is the same in the US. Probably quite a bit.)

Anyway, I think she gets about USD2000-2500/month.
