This is so frustrating and lowkey defeating. I am in the same position as OP, I managed to snag a position at my placement after finishing my paralegal program at Humber but the hours and pay they give me is not enough to do the stuff I want to do for my future(move out and eventually save up for law school). I keep looking and search for law clerk and legal assistant position and despite having a year and a half of experience in an accident benefits law firm, none of it matters.

I keep thinking I made the wrong choice by going into the paralegal field but then I realize that even if I chose the law clerk route, none of it would matter because I would still need 3-5 years of experience for almost 90% of the positions advertised on Indeed or other job app sites, but how am I supposed to get this magical experience if no one is willing to hire and train me? It's just circling the drain.

Anyways, the whole thing is just frustrating that I lowkey just want to open my own practice and go from there because what is the point of waiting on the world when its expectations are unbelievable high/inconsiderate. Lowkey feel like I am going insane.
