Yeah, I just spent the last year in paralegal - anon

Posted: Jan 27th, 2017 - 3:18 pm In Reply to: Time to Move On - She

I don't have the prior 4 year degree, so I have decided my prospects aren't looking so good.

I'm not sure I am going to finish the program. There are a TON of people going into it, so competition is going to be fierce. Also, we had some people come in and talk to us after graduating and working, they all either had prior legal office experience or were making $15 an hour (Southern California).

I am feeling highly discouraged right about now and thinking about just going to the local University and taking their 6 month coding program with internship.

Of course I am feeling discouraged about everything the last month, seems like the world is about to explode.
