Paralegal not for me.. - Saph

Posted: Jan 26th, 2017 - 1:24 pm In Reply to: Time to Move On - She

My husband is a Paralegal, as well as my sister-in-law. Definitely not something for me. I am nearing 50. I'm not sure I can handle retraining to learn another "career" as I spent over $3000 doing this one and have only been employed for the last 2+ years. I thought this was going to be the career I could make some bank and retire from. apparently I was wrong.
