I think working at some kind of non-profit or charity organization with a good cause would be a sweet job. They'll gladly take the help, so part time will be fine, and you get to do something that is beneficial to people. As far as socially acceptable goes, I'd say nobody is gonna look down upon somebody who's doing this kind of work.

This was my original idea, and I'm actually still contemplating that. I would play poker 25-30hrs a week and spend 15-20hrs volunteering, hopefully at a skilled position. But, this does not help answer the question, "What do you do for a living?" When I substitute teach other teachers always ask me what else I do because they know I can't make a living at it.

If you don't feel comfortable telling them you play cards, make something up. I'm a consultant, I teach nights at XYZ learning center, I'm a male prostitute, I'm looking for a full-time teaching position, etc. Who cares what they think?
