I was considering a career change and was thinking abut becoming a paralegal... Opinions??

Question

I was majoring in business management and decided it's not for me. What are your opinions on Paralegals??

Answer 1

I am a paralegal and I love it. However, its not for everyone. The hours can be long, you have to have thick skin, be extremely organized, able to write well, able to understand complex issues, must be articulate and able to deal with multiple deadlines. The hardest part of this job is dealing with difficult people.

however, it can be very rewarding

If you are thinking of becoming a paralegal try these links:

Answer 2

This is the US Dept. of Labor website for everything you need to know about Paralegals and Legal Assistants and then some.

Good luck with the career change.
