re: Becoming a paralegal

Prom you’ve been here forever. I want to give you the best advice I can. Don’t suggest her to go anything law. Primarily, for example, the wife wanted to ditch the nursing profession about 12 years ago before we were married. I was still in undergrad at LSU majoring in EE. Anyways, the nursing profession is something that is predetermined and sometimes they don’t always mean what they say.
I’m saying this as someone who is married to a nurse practitioner.

He’s correcting where you said law school is 8 years. Law school is only 3 years.

I was being facetious. Y’all are concentrating on the wrong information.

I’m not. I’m a lawyer, but I have no clue what it takes to be a paralegal. I work with quite a few. Many are idiots. Some I trust more than junior attorneys. One I used to work with was hot. A lot of other attorneys would dump work on her just as an excuse to talk to her. She quit.

If she has a bachelors degree, she’s more than qualified on paper.
She should find a paralegal opening and apply. I always preferred to teach paralegals from scratch rather than them pretending they knew anything because they took a class at Delgado.

LSU Online has a one year ABA approved program that is about a year long.

8 years? Wtf school is she going to

Most good paralegals nowadays start out as administrative assistants. They kick arse at their job, are very reliable, and the lawyer decides he can bill the client for the assistant’s work. Boom, she’s a paralegal.
The key is working for the right lawyer. If she works for a lawyer that just wants her to screen calls, bring him coffee, and mindlessly type dictation, she’ll always be an assistant. She has to find a lawyer that uses his staff in a substantial way in his cases.

I have a friend that did the LSU accredited program about 20 years ago and he’s doing fine. Always has a job and has moved around a bit to get even better jobs. Hung out with him for the Florida game and his firm had put on quite the party. Looked like a good company to work for. He’s single income and guiding a house with a pond so he must be doing ok.

Most law firms have multiple partners, so boss should be plural here.

I still don’t understand how that doesn’t mean a lawyer in a wheelchair.

Tell her to do something that is spiritually fulfilling and benefits mankind.
The legal system is organized crime. I’m gonna write a book about the shite I’ve seen.

Funnily enough I am in quite a similar situation to your wife.
I have a social work degree, and like most go into the job for the right reasons, but I am totally done with it. You spend your whole days dealing with scum, drug addicts, thugs, wasters who have no intention of ever contributing to society. You do on occasion meet people have had a hard time who you can make a difference to - often people who have had a shite hand dealt to them and somehow been diagnosed with a serious illness, but the vast majority of the job involves dealing with wasters and scumbags. The job can also border on dangerous at times, so whats the advice? Take a colleague incase they make any allegations! Don't listen to what the bleeding heart wealthy liberals tell you!
Thinking myself of getting into finance someway - probably financial fraud or into real estate, even if that means having to dip into my own pocket to fund it. I'm more interested in these fields than I am in my current job anyway.
