If they are so skilled, they should be able to raise the median wage in their district. Thus increasing their own wage.

Yes they could but they can also just work a job that actually pays well without waiting for a district wide socioeconomic restructuring because as people tried to explain to you already that pay isn't competitive.

In fact, even if the Median Wage increased vastly they would STILL make more money as a lawyer because they would have more clients willing to pay more.
