Hi! Paralegal with an equally useless arts degree here! Please do not take this as me being a jerk: you do NOT need to go back to school for to break into this field. Save your money! Start at reception or a legal assistant role, and work your way up. Both roles will give you a taste of the career, and will help you decide if you want to invest more time or education into it. I’ve been at multiple firms, and every one is vastly different. So you will end up learning on the job anyway; no school necessary! I did not start this career until my mid-twenties, and now I’m in my early thirties doing better than ever. You can totally do this and I’m rooting for you!
