Poli Sci or government would also be a good suggestion, but paralegals need specific training in college, so find a school that has paralegal or pre-law programs.

Paralegal, at most, requires education at the Associates level. Aim higher, and get a real job, with better pay.

It may not directly benefit you as a paralegal, but when it comes to promotions, you may be ahead of the pack because of your degree.

Today he makes as much as an entry level lawyer. His salary would double if he went to law school and passed the BAr. He makes about $50K a year now after 15 years experience for INSURANCE companies and PRIVATE LAYWERS specialziing in Workmans Comp claims.
