What type of job can I get with a BA in Legal Studies??

I have no intention of becoming a lawyer. Paralegal sounds like something I would love to do (cuz I love research)...but I can't type very fast and there doesn't seem to be any job security.

I don't have the degree in LS. I am trying to decide if I should go back to school and pursue this degree. I am a RN and I want out of my field. I want to work daytime hours. I don't mind if I need to work at night, so long as I am in my own home. I don't know what to do.

your a bada** in legal studies?

AlabamaSue

I've been in the legal field 15+ years. I do not know where you live, but I've lived in Tampa, Florida and now in Mobile, Alabama and in both areas larger more prominent firms hire only persons with four year degrees as paralegals (and not necessary in a area geared toward law). Just because you can't type does not mean you cannot be a successful paralegal. Many of the positions don't require more typing than you do on the internet. Hope this helped!

I got my degree in Communications with a concentration in Legal/Political studies. Went on to become pretty successful in the field of Human Resources and I am almost done with law school so you never know. I actually worked as a paralegal after graduation. The first was a criminal law firm and the second RE firm. First job I lasted 3 months and second job a week-in-a-half. Definitely not for me. Long hours and very little recognition... pompous attorneys....
