I'm a paralegal and LOVE what I do. It's a very varied job which keeps it interesting - it's NEVER boring. Hours can be long and it can take a while to find your niche and attorneys that you can work with. I've been with my current firm for 18 years with the same attorney.

Sometimes it IS a glorified secretrarial job, but I kinda like that. I know I don't want to be an attorney - I've been in the legal biz for almost 30 years.

In this economy there are paralegal jobs out there, although a lot of firms are imploding and laying off. Just get your foot in the door - that's how I started as a file clerk oh-so-many years ago. The pay is good. Feel free to PM me with questions.
