[quote=Anonymous]I (like many others I assume) didn't post here to be put in my place or for a reality check.  I posted here for support and advice.  I'm well aware of the fact that 4 years of experience isn't much, but it is what it is.  I can't change any of that now.  After college I pursued a different career path for 4 years, then worked as a paralegal for 4 years, then had my first child and I've been a SAHM ever since.  I'm now 40 and want to go back to work.  It doesn't have to be in the paralegal field, and to be honest I'd much rather it were in the field I've done 8 years of volunteer work in (advocacy).  I was hoping my education and prior experience would be enough to at least get me an entry-level paralegal position.  But I'm starting to think maybe that was unrealistic.  Maybe I'll just pursue my passion and try to find a job that will actually pay me for my advocacy efforts.
To all those out there like me, don't let the naysayers get you down.  You know how valuable you are, and someday an employer will, too.
