Is it sad that I’m excited that there are actually some paralegal openings in my town because I may actually be able to get a legally relevant job when I eventually get home? It is extremely sad, but after receiving more, “We are not hiring. Go away and die” letters from local law firms, I’m starting to think that there really are no jobs.
I wonder… do I need a paralegal certificate if I have an actual JD? From the research I’ve done, it seems as if certification is designed so that paralegals actually know a little bit about the law, which would make it horribly redundant if I had to do that.
Of course, I think of the horrible possibility that I will be a paralegal with a JD and have passed the bar. :sigh:
