A few years ago when I moved to the new city, my neighborhood was so nice and clean. I would see a lot of people I knew on the street, but I never saw anyone coming. People that were looking for work and not in my neighborhood would come to see me. I was on the phone to my friend, who was a good friend of mine, and she said that she had a boyfriend who was doing something right.
As a paralegal, you receive a salary that’s calculated based on your experience and education. Some people make a bit more than others, but it’s not like you’ll be able to make a lot of money off of it. In reality, most people don’t make much money. A paralegal makes $15 an hour, which is around $25,000 a year. You make more on a paralegal’s salary than you would on a lawyer’s salary.
The law office actually pays more than paralegals. Of course, the lawyers get more client freebies and discounts, but the paralegals are usually paid a fixed amount per hour, and they can use that money to pay for their own expenses.
A paralegal is a lawyer who specializes in preparing legal documents for companies. In fact, they are legally required to do so. A paralegal is typically an attorney who is not licensed as a lawyer and they work for non-lawyer companies. It is a more flexible job than a law clerk, and there are many paralegals who do just that.
Lawyers usually charge about $180/hour (compared to about $50/hour for a paralegal) and in many states, a paralegal is paid no more than a lawyer if they’re not a lawyer.
