I wish I knew that there would be no chance for advancement.

Research the attorneys you will be working for ahead if time.

You can't over achieve the details.
Paralegal:
You cannot over achieve on the details. Find out as much about your case as you can. Be the best investigator you can be. It will make you a better paralegal and your lawyer a better lawyer.
May 2015
In the Legal Field to see if I wanted to attend Law School.
Paralegal:
I think the job requires thick skin. Attorneys are typically not happy people. HIGH PRESSURE. Yelling and cussing is common place in all the 5 law firms I have worked for. I think the job is good, but at some firms they do not give you any raises even after a year or 3 years so it depends on how cheap your boss is.
April 2015
They do not give pay increase and pay very little.
Paralegal:
Do not bother going to Paralegal School.
