I did it! I got an in-house Paralegal position after years of working and being burned out at different law firms.

Prayerfully, this transition will be a good one.

Am I jumping the gun? Do I just need to stick it out?

CFP study programs:

I'm a little confused on Danko - does he offer a self-study option for the coursework requirement? On his website it looks like each module has a 4-day virtual class which I wouldn't be able to attend due to working full time. Does this program also include self-study material, and the classes are just supplementary/optional? I was also looking at Dalton for self-study and Danko for test prep. Thoughts?

TIA
