Hi everyone,
I have a few more classes to go before I obtain an Associate Degree in Paralegal Studies. Unfortunately I don’t have the financial means to further my education to get a bachelor’s degree at this time. However when I am employed I hope to further my education part-time while working.
Can someone with only an Associate Degree in Paralegal Studies find employment as a paralegal? Or is it more likely that lawyers won’t Buy Xenical pills hire me because I lack a bachelor’s degree?
I have a little real life experience as a freelance paralegal, but that’s about it. Do you think I wasted my education in this field?
You feel the same way that I do I have my degree now and it has been hard for me to get into this field and I know some paralegals who don’t even have a degree and they are working. I also have a little experience as a freelance paralegal and I was told by a staffing company that freelance would be my best way to go but I don’t have that kind of money at this time to do that. I need to work right now so I can go back and get my bachelor’s. Don’t feel bad you are not the only one who is having that problem
