It's okay, it's Donald11. He goes ballistic regarding anything with a slight connotation in negativity.
As to answer your question, OP, in regards to exit opportunities in tax: You'll find that if you desire to move up the ladder, you WILL specialize in something; it's the same as in audit. It's a high risk, high reward scenario. It's because you have that one specialty that no one else does which allows you to command such a high premium. However, though you can charge obscene amounts of money for what you wish to do, not everyone might necessarily need it.
clips2007 is right though - tax attorneys do make serious bank in regards to hours work : workload in comparison to tax accountants. But the preliminary effort involved for the former is that much more demanding, too. Think about it this way: a tax accountant needs a BS in Accounting, optimally a Masters in Taxation, and to pass the CPA exam.
The tax attorney could do all of the above (though not necessarily the BS in Accounting), yet also sit for the LSAT, apply to law school, pay for law school, and hold a respectable GPA there, too. The type of law school you enroll at is extremely important - I believe the schools are separated into four tiers - T1/T2/T3/T4. Basically, in a nutshell (and I'm speaking objectively from INTERNET RESEARCH, so don't get your panties up in a knot), if you don't get your law degree from a T1/T2 school, it's very hard to find anyone who really cares. Law school again, like previous posters have mentioned, costs a
*removed*load of money, and the education given there along with how exams
are given are quite different as opposed to undergrad.
So in the end, it depends on how much preliminary effort you want to exert.

But seriously dude, you're going to with hold not just me, but other people of information that may help their careers because of a reference to a TV show that happens to have the word nazi in it?
