As someone who has a new lawyer as a brother who had a job well before graduation, and a mom who is a law professor who helps her students get jobs all the time, I think I've most likely got much more information on this stuff than you do...plus, people love hiring paralegals because they can get away with paying them less than lawyers for doing the same work...
Either way, I've no ambition or money to go to school, so I'm working instead. And I've got a job in the field I actually want to be in as well, so it's all good.
