Uncle Jack studied medicine. Atticus was ten years older and working as a lawyer. He helped get Uncle Jack started in school.
John Hale Finch was ten years younger than my father, and chose to study medicine at a time when cotton was not worth growing; but after getting Uncle Jack started, Atticus derived a reasonable income from the law.
