[blindlaw] Paralegal Programs in California

[ckrugman at sbcglobal.net]

This depends on where they are. There are some markets that are flooded and 
with the economic conditions many law firms have had to downsize their 
support staffs including paralegals. In some markets there are jobs but in 
others there is a shortage. Many paralegals will take jobs as legal 
secretaries or entry level support staff to get their feet in the door. 
Being self-employed I work primarily for solo practioners or small firms 
that would not require full time paralegal services.
It also depends on how creative someone can be with their skills as well as 
there are many nontraditional jobs where paralegal skills are useful such as 
public policy or legislative analysts, etc.
