Things are starting to really look up for me.
A lot of things, career-wise, are starting to go right for me. I'm feeling really good right now.

I just recently got my paralegal certificate finished up, and have already gotten a job offer with a solid firm near U of I. I also had a screener interview with a rather large company for a paralegal position today, and it also went pretty well. That job would pay very well, if I was to get it (although I have to admit that I'm kind of doubtful about it).

On top of that, I'm applying to law schools, for real, now. Taking the LSAT again next Saturday, and I think I'm going to do considerably better than last time (I was actually sick with a 103 degree fever last time- sounds like a BS excuse, but totally true). The practice tests I'm taking seem to be showing the possibility of getting into a good number of schools in California, which is my hope- to get back to California, with my girlfriend.

Things are just going really well. I'm happy. For such a long time my career just...sucked. But I found a direction, worked hard, and it's beginning to pay off.

Keeping my fingers crossed. And thanks to all of you who have helped me through all of this. :hug:

5. Thanks, ulysses.
You've been an extremely consistent voice of reason on both DU and the other, not-to-be-named board.

Thanks for everything. You're awesome.

To reference something Bill Clinton once said, if the Democratic Party had a million ulysses, we'd immediately take back both Houses and the Presidency.

2. Where did you go to paralegal school?
Traditional brick and mortar school or online classes? I'm considering it to further my career.

3. Illinois Central College.
It's important to look for an ABA-approved program.

But, I'd HIGHLY suggest it for anyone that's looking to go into the law field, in any regard. I loved it.
