What Is Your Ideal Career II
What is Your Ideal Career?
I believe my ideal career would be in the legal field. There many professions in this field. Growing up in the 60’s and 70’s it was a challenge for me and my family. The legal system was unjust back then and I saw the police as a scary, powerful authority and they could do whatever they wanted to whomever they want. This opinion didn’t change until one summer I met a police officer that changed my opinion about the police force. By his action he showed me that all police were not bad. It was then when I realized I could make a difference in my life.
I became fascinated with how the process of the legal system worked and as I got older I looked into the different positions that were offered in the legal field. These positions range from Judges, Lawyers, Court Reporters, Paralegals, Police Officers and Legal Assistants. When I began my journey, I had graduated high school and applied for the academy, but that did work out as it was a height requirement at that time, but that did not discourage me. I continued to look for different avenues, within the legal field because I wanted a career that had an energized work environment. Someplace where I never knew from day to day what it will bring.
While doing my different research, I chose to work as a Paralegal. I started as an intern for a small law firm in Nevada specializing in corporate law. Working there made me realize that corporate law is fascinating, but it was not what I wanted to do and it didn’t keep me energized. There are many agencies I can work for as a paralegal such as a Corporation, or a Law Firm. The responsibilities of a paralegal would include client files, drafting correspondence, research, they can specialize in family law, criminal law, corporate law, homeland security, probate, real estate, bankruptcy and private agencies – YMCA, Boys and Girls Club, not for profit organizations. The primary duties of a paralegal are to assist attorneys in a case. This may
