A friend of mine has told me that alot of law firms will not even look at you unless you have a BA (which I do not). I am looking into how many credits shy away I was of a BA when I left school many years ago. So my question is, would it be a better route to go and finish my BA or go take a paralegal course first and then finish my BA? Any advice is much appreciated.
What is the best route to become a paralegal?

There are several online paralegal universities and colleges
where you can finish getting your BA while you also learn
the paralegal profession. A degree of course, will be your best route to becoming a paralegal instead of just taking a
course. I don’t think law firms put much stock in short courses.
Kaplan University Online is a good place to start looking.
They helped me get financial aid when I got ready to enroll.
It should be easy for you to get an associates. A lot of firms
will consider you, depending on your grades. They are all
interested in your GPA. It’s like an IQ score to them.
I wish you the best of luck. "Happy Holidays"
