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.
I also was roommates with a paralegal and have close friends who are paralegals. I don't know why you think because you know people that you know more than us who also know people in the business. Just remember you came to us asking for advice about this issue. Maybe just say thanks for the advice and move on next time without offending the people who are trying to help?

I hope the paralegal job search goes well for you. You are very bright and hard working, so I have no doubt you will succeed in whatever you choose to do.
