Post of the Week: Trade School Debt

Why is being a paralegal a “trade” when I work in the same office and make more than the contract attorneys? Nursing is a “professional” school. Also keep in mind everyone else got to choose a topic for their post of the week. I was considering expanding my previous post about deception in higher education. Maybe here I can do both – after all Benito’s crooked mustache is endearing. It says “I have never been employed long enough to learn to shave properly.” So it would seem trade schools and for-profit colleges are moving in on the federal student loan money coveted by more [more...]

how do i check the reputation of a paralegal training school?

How do I check the reputation of a paralegal training school? I’m considering a career change, at age 48, to become a paralegal. I found a local training school called the Paralegal Institute of Washington, DC (PIW). PIW’s website states that they are “a licensed higher-education learning center, committed to training paralegals.” The site also states that all legal classes are taught by seasoned lawyers, and that claim is backed up by the detailed resumes of each one. Is there any other way to check out the reputation of this school — or other paralegal training schools for that [more...]

So she worked for two years as a paralegal before enrolling in 1995 in medical school at the University of Southern California, where she met her future husband. She graduated in 1999, got married and came to UCLA, where she did her internship in internal medicine and her residency.

Ah, this is a question I posed with a bit of lawyer bias, but I’m glad you ran into my post before you consider trying to save yourself money by hiring a notary or paralegal to draft a Florida will for you.  At the very least though, I am glad you are making the decision to have a last will and testament because Florida intestate succession usually causes problems. I’ve seen ads in the Jacksonville Craig’s List site advertising “cheap wills,” and through my attorney’s eyes, those type of ads are the same as handwritten yard signs on the side of busy intersections saying “work [more...]

When I was in paralegal school we had an assignment to buy a Wall Street Journal and read a few stories in it and report on them to the class. I dutifully bought one and tried to read it. I couldn't. I kept falling asleep. I even tried reading it aloud, cup of coffee by my side. Still fell asleep after 1 paragraph. I told my mother this on the phone one night and she burst out laughing. "When you were a baby," she explained, "I wanted your daddy to read to you every night, and it didn't matter what he read. So he would read the Wall Street Journal.
