Well, I recently got my associate degree in criminal justice, and now I am going for my bachelor's degree in political science. I think I will finish on time (in 2 years) if I take five classes (of the ones I need) per semester.

What you need to do is find out what courses you take in the two year college will transfer to your four year. Since you will be getting an associate degree, some of the classes will transfer, though I feel certain not many of the specific paralegal classes will.
If you tend to get a marketing degree, why bother with the paralegal? Just want the info? Or work in the field while working on your Bachelor degree?

Lots of experience in different fields are very useful when getting a job, but ultimatley it's up to you. Where do you really see yourself in the future? Using you're Marketing degree or Using the Paralegal degree. If you're wanting a marketing job, then why spend 2 extra years in college when that's not what you're aiming for. However, if you want to better yourself, and have more knowledge under your belt go for more, however it's not necessary to do both.

bad idea, if you do that the amount of classes will make you stay in school for about an extra year. With that you might as well graduate with a paralegal degree and get a masters in marketing. I graduated with my B.S. in Criminal Justice but changed what I wanted to do a little late, then decided to get my M.S. in Administration.

What does one have to do with the other? Will you be selling paralegal assistance? You will probably not be able to transfer credits from your associate degree, since you would have the degree.

It doesn't matter what major you have for your AA. It doesn't even matter if you have a major for your AA. In fact -- unless it is a requirement to get into the four year school -- it doesn't even matter if you get an AA.
The only thing that matters is if you can fulfill the requirements of your marketing degree.

A marketing major is very general.
Paralegals do not make a lot.
An accounting degree will result in more money at the end and is not that much harder.
