Re: legal assistant career fields
My thought would be that you could work in a law firm environment. I would encourage you to seek out internship opportunities; perhaps first through temp agencies that place in law firms, or even prospect some small firm environments yourself. I say small firms because when you're in a smaller place, they tend to let you "get to the front lines" a bit more, so in a situation like that, you may get to do some research, and see what happens to a legal case up close. You may even decide you want to continue to study to be a paralegal or even a lawyer down the road. At any rate, congratulations on what you've accomplished thus far and continued success in your future endeavors.
