In Reply To: Read my message (and its follow-up) right. I most definately do not wish to become a programmer.
Message: You are a law school graduate. You have several years of "hobby" experience programming in c/asm. You want a job in "consulting" and want to know how to represent your "hobby" software development experience on your resume. Correct so far? The next question is, why do you want to convey this experience if you are not interested in doing programming work? Let me guess, you want to become a "strategic" technology consultant. Good luck. The market is flooded with ex-CIOs and folks with 20+ years of technology and management consulting experience. No one wants technology advice from a lawyer with a couple years of hobby computer experience. I'm not trying to be a prick here, but I think a lot of recent JD and MBA grads are in need of a significant resetting of expectations.
