I know some companies in some fields ask for SAT scores, but most don't.

A good school and good grades tend to impact where you start on your career path, but don't really tell you much as to where you will wind up on your career path.

At age 25 your work record will have some weight, as will the school you attended.

At age 30, your work record and skillset will have more weight, and your school will have less.

At age 35, your work record will have still more weight, and your school will have even less.

I've helped evaluate and hire 100s of people in the field of law for a top tier law firm, both entry level and laterals. We never asked for SAT scores, not even close.

Depends on the industry, but as a general principle the SAT scores won't ever come up again after you get into college.

SAT is an IQ correlate, and a part of the general "pedigree". In your field of law, if, say, you happened to interview a former clerk of, say, the late Chief Justice [the ultimate in post-graduate pedigree] - one could bet dollars against donuts that that person would have a stellar record, from SAT to law school and beyond, or he wouldn't have been there. And such people normally end in senior positions themselves.
