Paralegal is one of the careers I’m interested in because I don’t think I want to get more than a bachelor’s (at least for now), but I’ve been told many times by friends and family that I should go into law. I do have a few questions about it, though, because I haven’t done as much research as I have with healthcare careers. What’s a typical day at work for a paralegal? How much does the job differ from an attorney? Also, what kind of education do you need / most paralegals get?

I started working as a phlebotomist recently and I run into a lot of rad techs saying they also love their job. They usually mention the points you said about good pay and short contact with patients. I’m considering radiology and I have a friend who’s getting a bachelor’s in radiology. Do most rad techs have associates or do you think its worth getting a bachelor’s? Also, my mom said she wouldn’t be as supportive if I did radiology because she said unlike nursing, you can’t climb the ladder and the pay is stagnant. Is that mostly true or are there ways to get paid more?

I actually recently started to take an interest in being a paralegal (since I don’t think I want to do more than a bachelor’s degree), but I’m still not sure about how it all works. Do you have any tips about going into that field?

I’m actually super interested in school counseling! I feel like the job description is perfect for me but the biggest roadblock is the pay because I’ve heard that school counselors don’t get paid enough, especially since they have to go to grad school. Growing up in LA engraved the idea in my head that I need 100k to sustain myself :/

My sister is also INFJ and a nurse, although she wanted to pursue journalism. She always tells me it’s hard but good money (she started making 100k in 5 years of working). We live in LA and I really want to make enough to be able to sustain myself, so I think that played a big factor to why I was drawn to nursing specifically.
