Really only can answer that. Do you love the law? What drives you to consider being a paralegal? What areas would interest you? Only you can really answer this question. Maybe start an assistant to get a feel for the legal world to see if it's your thing. My daughter doesn't understand what I do, says it seems boring, and it just looks like all I do is click a mouse 😆 No one can pick your career for you, but personally I love it and wouldn't do anything else.

Being a paralegal is basically the same as a legal assistant in many firms. What you want to find out first is what field of law do you enjoy most working in or what do you like to do most of all in the legal field. For example: I like it all, except for the phones, I believe everyone can relate to that one. But my passion is Discovery. I enjoy the discovery work in every area of law. Sometimes it is so tedious, but, I always feel a complete calm within myself when I work in discovery. The reality is, You have to know you. You have to find what makes you happy in what you do as a paralegal. Suggestion: Do NOT ever let someone else define your joy in your work. Find that for yourself and stick with it and grow it. Oh, and one more thing, do not allow someone to put you in a position that you do not like., it doesn't fair well. Again, find what field of law makes you happy.
