To answer your question about how people stay in public servic given the low salary (coupled with tens of thousands $$ of debt), surprisingly all the attorneys that I've talked to who work in public interest LOVE their job. ...
@VegMeg55 Yes, I watch How to Get Away with Murder and really got into it though it becomes progressively disturbing - I'll just say "unethical practices" so as not to give the story line away! Hope you find time to watch it.
I say apply. It would mostly depend on how well you prepared the first time around and how much you can improve taking into account your current time availability. I don't know all your story but from the little I know I say apply! :)
Congrats! I feel like I've seen allusions to almost this exact story in the veteran's group on TLS... hmmm... good luck to you and thank you for your service!
