What you think about paralegal degree?

Hi

What you think about paralegal degree?

Is this is good for career or not?

What type of jobs we can get from it?

 

Being in the paralegal industry is a great career choice to get into. It really is growing and competition is expected to grow as well. The best employment opportunities are typically favored those with formal training and experience. There are some entry level experience who just need an associate's degree, but bachelor's with a certificate is most preferred and about 71% of paralegals work for law firms.

It's actually kind of ironic, but most paralegals go through community colleges to get started in their career that gets them their associates to get entry. But if you already a bachelor's or whatever in something else, you can just earn a certificate in paralegal studies because there aren't a lot of schools who actually offer that degree in a bachelor's or master's.

Here are some resources that can give you some more info on the field:
1. http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos114.htm - the entire break down of what it looks like to be a paralegal or legal assistant as a career
2. http://www.paralegal.net/ - since they aren't too many schools offering it, you can get some online courses done on your own time
3. http://www.legalemploy.com/ - a HUGE link of resources of all the places you need to go for school/jobs/offices etc.

Good luck! It's a tough field for sure--lots of stuff to know, but if you're into the law, then it'll be perfect!

 

This is a really versatile career field to get into. It can give you the skills that you need to work in many different types of businesses. Its also a great field of study to get your degree online.

 

Yes this is great field of study to get your degree online but one thing is also very important and that is your online college.
