I graduated in 2003 and will be applying this fall. I worked in Investment Banking (Public Finance) for 2.5 years and then quit my job in January to start a non-profit organization dedicated to improving education quality in Africa.

Obviously, the schools will see my CV, but in the SOP, how relevent and how much emphasis should I focus on my work experience, especially given that I would like to study Development?

I was planning on mentioning these items in passing without going at length about either experience, unless of course you think it may be helpful.

Any advice is much appreciated.

Cheers.
