    TC or not TC... that is the question

    that sounds great! No doubt your hospitality & bar work will definitely help show off your transferable skills. Wishing you luck with seeking out those other legal opportunities, especially that criminal bar one that sounds juicy!! Thanks for giving insights and look forward to more updates :)
