[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please encourage them to work before going straight from undergrad to law school and, as others have said, at a law firm. I loved being a paralegal at 22 and ultimately decided not to go to law school. I also made a ton of money, worked really hard and developed a very good work ethic. [/quote]

Can I ask what you do now? Are you still a paralegal?[/quote]

Nope. I transitioned in house and managed a company’s intellectual property and contracts portfolio for about 5 years. Then I got a masters in international relations and work in development finance.

I will always be grateful for my big firm experience. The lawyers I worked with were smart and motivated. I worked on big high profile litigation cases. The firm moved me across the country. I got to travel. I have no idea how much has changed for paralegals in the last 20 years but as a new grad, I loved it. But during that time, only one partner encouraged me to go to law school. Everyone else told me to pick a different career. [/quote]
