No, that sounds as if you mixed Polish and Russian constructions for this.
"jako" actually takes Nominative, so it's "jako model".
This isn't any form of "jaki" pronoun, it's a preposition meaning 'as', especially in contexts like that one here.
I actually 'undeleted' it myself in order to have this question answered anyway (as it's not a surprising question) so the others could read it later :)
It's simply a different word, needed for this construction about one's profession.
"jak modelka" would be 'like a model', whatever that means... 'jak' would be used in "she works like a horse" = 'ona pracuje jak koń'.
Why isn't it "jako modelką"? I thought that if there were two subject-like nouns in a sentence, the non-subject one had to change to .... whatever that case is called.
Nominative is used mostly for the subject of the sentence (here: "This student"), but there are some other usages, and one of them is after "jako", used exactly like here.
ten student pracuje jako modelem?
shouldn't this work considering that a male can be a student and work as a model xD (or am i completely wrong maybe)
The only problem with your sentence is that "jako" takes nominative, so it should be "model".
