No, cars haven't gone up that much. I was working at a dealership in college 6 or 7 years ago and a crappy ol' Saturn was costing $16K-$22K new, depending on options. You can still buy a (much nicer) Carolla for that range.
It's not that law doesn't pay well, it's that loans cost so much and when you're working, you have to pay them back. I have a car payment worth of loans a month!
