 | I've been thinking alot about becoming a paralegal. I am currently in college and my school offers a BS program in Paralegal Studies. I understand that they are in high demand, kinda like nurses. How is the pay/benefits? Would this degree really pay off in the long run? I was thinking about possibly gaining employment as a corporate paralegal after graduation. Any info would be helpful!

| If you are an attorney or work in the law field, please help! About to start college to get my paralegal degree --
Which area should I specialize in, to expect the highest pay when I graduate? I already have paralegal on-the-job training, but am going to school for a degree to command a higher salary in the end. Since I have quite a few options as to which area to focus on, I really only care about what the income potential is. Advice? Thanks!

 | I have been searching but have been unable to find much in the way of detailed requirements for Law School, and future education. I have found a local College that offers an Associates in Applied Sciences for Paralegals. I know you need a bachelors for Law School admission, but is Applied Sciences acceptable? If not, can it be used to gain the appropriate BA degree (In Government, Politics, Humanities, or whatever is required)?

According to what I read, the need for paralegals will be be growing, so I am considering getting a certificate for this. I already have a 4 year degree (in journalism).I'm very detail oriented & like to read and do research. What do paralegals think about their job? Good idea or bad to look into this?

| I am very interested in studying the paralegal degree, however I do not see myself being employed with a law firm. Id like to be employed either in a corporate environment or the fed govt. Take the position for Social Insurance Rep for instance with the Dept of SS. They are basically claims reps. Wouldnt a degree like this prepare you for many types of fields? Knowledge of the law, contracts, oral/written communication skills, etc?

In both of those jobs I've done presentations and gone to bankruptcy hearings where I presented documents and information to bankruptcy trustees.

 | I'm currently completing a paralegal internship, as well as 18 credits, upon graduation in December. I will be earning a History and Paralegal Studies degree in December. (I previously studied Business Admin, years ago). I am in my twenties, and I have a corporate background in human resources, purchasing, customs, and logistics. I live in the New York Metropolitan area where there are so many corporate headquarters. I'd love to work for one of the publishing companies. I would like to work in either purchasing or legal areas. As a full-time student, how do I secure a job prior to graduation? For example, if I was interviewed this fall, how will I explain that I will not be able to start until December? I'd like to hear other people's experiences. Thanks for any suggestions in advance!

 | I am extremely interested in becoming a corporate lawyer in London and I am looking to applying for a TC with a major City law firm, preferably a US firm so I can fulfil my childhood dream of immigrating to the US. For my A levels I got AABc in Government & Politics, History, English Literature, and English Language, respectively. I then went onto study BA Political Science at the University of Birmingham, where I took part in a student exchange programme to the University of Virginia. I finished Birmingham with a 2:1 and taught English in Japan for a year. Now here I am, looking to apply for a TC at a US law firm in London.
I have some extra-curriculars under my belt too. At Birmingham I was a member of the politics society, Conservative Future, and was a reporter for the student newspaper. During my time at UV, I worked for a US Congressman and wrote for the UV student newspaper. I also have legal work experience working for a couple of regional firms in Bristol and Southampton. So what would you say my chances of securing a City law firm TC are?
