Do paralegals make alot of money and are they in demand? Where can I find info?

Answers:
Depends on your education level.

Paralegals who have a BS Degree and Para Legal Schooling, are the ones who can make 50k to 70K a year.

If you only have a 2 year paralegal degree, you gonna make alot less, probally around 20K.

The ones with big hooters do...short of that, get a job that is not related to the legal profession. The next thing you know you'll want to be a politician...

It truly depends on your level of education and where you are trying to find a job. Paralegals in large lawfirms do make really good salaries. Most of them have some sort of education (some college or a paralegal certificate). Monster.com should be able to tell you how much paralegals make in your town.

I have a degree as a paralegal, they do 80% of the work for the attorney. If your really good at it all you need is your bosses signature and you will make the whole Law Firm much money. Also have a BS in the bs of political science, so you better be very good at it and still watch your own **** at the same time. Just call your local colleeges. Good Luck!

If you're going to waste your time studying to become a paralegal, why not take the step to study, graduate and become an attorney.

Just today, on the boat's XM radio, I was listening to a commercial from the 60s that advertised a degree in data entry / computer programming and they were SOOOOOO excited about the U.S. Census Bureau's projections for the salary for such. From $12,000 to $20,000 a year.in 1967.

If you think you want to settle for $40,000 to 70,000 a year, then settle. In today's world, that's pocket change.
