Does anyone have family members who constantly demand money because they feel like you’re rich now because you’re a lawyer? I’ve always wanted to be in a position to help my family but we all live in the high COL city so my salary doesn’t carry me as far as it would elsewhere.

If I get through processing and go to the CIA for some time, do you think would I be accepted back into patent law later on?
