Nobody who becomes a solicitor is stupid enough to not realise that there are easier (less stressful less intellectually demmanding) jobs they could be doing for far more money.

I'm afraid that British solicitors simply do not command the salary of their American counter parts and frankly the British training regime/amount of places is just harder.

A lot of the propaganda against 'lawyers' comes from blinkered ignorance (and that ignorance is evident by the fact that such exponents use the phrase 'lawyer' in the first place ...)
Lawyers are pretty much like pest control...
you contact both just to get the job done regardless how they get the results.
