I'm an uncertified paralegal. I'll have the certification next year if I pursue it. I didn't go to much school post HS aside from a couple of semesters at a JC. I still hold a 3.95 GPA :fawk:
I suppose its really about networking and knowing what you want. I'm still trying to figure that out but this job will do for the meanwhile.
I did get full rides to csun, ucb and csulb, but decided I wanted to live my life recklessly after HS. In retrospec, I wouldn't change a thing.
I was also on the verge of heading to the military. I was accepted to annapolis to be in the officer program. I had my contract written up with 30k bonus . All I had left to do was sign the contract and swear in. On the day of the activites, I called the whole shebang off.
