The answer is very simple. 90 percent of India does not stay in Metro cities. Consequently they have no idea about well paying private jobs or firms. When the word 'jobs' come to their mind all they know is government job and how nothing in the world pays more than civil services. But here is the trick you earn for yourself and NOT for the typical Indian uncle or aunty. Why do you need there validation? Their mouth anyways become shut when I bought my car within a year of job, my annual foreign trips and when I bought my home last year. All within 5 years of my T1 job. So they still do not know what a T1 firm is but they sure as hell know that whatever this man does pays well. Anyways I don't need their validation, neither should you. I will give you another example. I come from a small city. One of my cousin's became a police inspector. My uncle was like look at him he is so respectable and look at you doing some private job in some distant city. He really was being mean to me. But should I care about opinion of such "gawaars"?? For them even if you become a grade iii government servant it very good but doing a private job is menial. If I tell him my salary I am sure his mouth would have dropped open. But I just moved on from that conversation. So any educated person with some general knowledge would know about law schools and at least that coproate lawyers are one of the best earning professionals, as for those uncle and aunties who don't, just don't bother about them. We don't need anyone's validation.
