hi everyone,

I have been a paralegal for a few years now and unfortunately, I’m ready to get the hell out of the field. I started with a new firm somewhat recently and it feels like the legal field is a never-ending cycle of your choice between less stress and crumby pay or constant anxiety inducing work and reasonable pay. A tip may out to anyone who’s lasted more than a few years in this field because it really is brutal and I don’t feel that anyone understands the amount of stress we go through. every day I wake up nervous to go into work due to the sheer amount of stress that I am under.

on that note, I am constantly considering changing careers to something that’s a little less stress inducing. What are some careers that paralegal who could transition to and what type of educational requirements would they require? I have my BA in history, and am currently looking into education but I want to keep my options open.
