This is my first post here so sorry in advance if it's in the wrong place. I searched the forum and didn't find what I was looking for, so here goes nothing!
It's my understanding that resumes are becoming as important as academic history- and now I'm concerned about how to represent myself on my application.
After getting my A.A., I transferred to a four-year and quit my job. I worked at a hospital for many years, but resigned in '08 to "pursue other interests"-- namely schooling & poker.
I've played semi-pro in Atlantic City since 08, and have been going to college full-time, maintaining a good GPA. I say "semi-pro" because it's not a full-time gig, but it is my main source of income (I pay for school with loans, grants and a scholarship).
My question is: Is this going to look shady on a law school app? Should I leave it off my resume and just explain that I haven't had a job the last two years because I was focusing on my studies (which is mostly true)? Is this kind of experience useful in a PS, or better left out?
Any advice will be helpful
