To tell you the truth I am very much interested in school because I would like to find success and have a career that brings me good wealth. I am doing very well in school and have a 4.0 and lately I've been interested in the whole Lawyer Attorney thing.

Depends on what type of law you enter. Starting out, you can make anywhere from $ 30,000 at a small law firm to $ 85,000 to $ 100,000 at a large/prestigious or boutique law firm.
At larger law firms, assuming you reach partner in the usual 7 to 8 years, expect a jump in salary to about $ 200,000 to $ 250,000. Then add bonuses in on that. At a top law firm, with say 20 to 30 years in and some reputation in your chosen field of law, you could earn $ 1 million on up.
Having said that, most lawyers settle in well below that number. At large city, large firms, figure between $ 250,000 and $ 500,000 after a number of years, at medium size firms, say $ 150,000 to $ 250,000, at small firms or firms in smaller cities, you might make $ 100,000 to $ 200,000 and in small towns, single man firms, $ 50,000 to $ 100,000.
Working as a prosecutor or public defender is also on the lower end of the scale, depending on where you work. Family law can be rewarding but underpaid.

how much? it really depends on where you set up shop, you might make a bundle and you might be barely getting along
it is something, like most everything, you just have to dive in and see what happens
working for yourself is always very iffy and there are never any guarantees
