$49,130 is not the starting salary for solo practitioners. It is the average income of all 354,000 lawyers who filed as solo practitioners in 2012, including those who have practiced law their whole lives.

That figure is compromised by all the people who make virtually no money or mommy JD's working 'part-time' from home making $18K a year setting up pet trusts for their well-to-do friends.
I'm not saying the overall number is bad but if you were to focus on people who have been in business for 5+ years and actually practice, I am certain it's not as bad.

Most solos are dumb, terrible at business, and socially awkward.
I made over $100k net my first year as a solo and have steadily made more each year.
Making money as a solo has almost nothing to do with being a good lawyer. I'm not a good lawyer. I hate the law.
It's all about being entrepreneurial and having good business sense. Most solos -- dumb, not business minded, and awkward -- are solo by necessity because they couldn't get hired or couldn't hack it in a firm. They never wanted to run a business but are now forced to do so. Those who go solo because they want to run a business do well.
