Do any of you work with law enforcement? Or have you ever?
Lady_S asked:
What have been your experiences working with law enforcement? I just received my Bachelor’s degree in Criminology, Law and Society from UC Irvine, along with another Bachelor’s degree in Political Science. I’ll be starting law school next year, but I work p/t as a legal assistant for now.
I just got an interview for a Police Cadet position with a local police department, and I’m sooooooo excited!!! Please share any experiences, tips, or advice regarding law enforcement, which you might have!!!

Am interested in but confused by online degree programs. Is there a Consumer Reports type site that can help?
home schooling mother asked:
Phoenix? CTU? Kaplan? FMU?
Am hoping to study Legal Assistant/Paralegal [maybe Criminal Justice] online. Would like to start with my Associates, continue to Bachelors, and finally study for my law degree. Where do I go to find impartial information about each college, its reputation, costs, accreditation, etc?
Thank you.
These are great answers. Thank you for your help. I will leave the question open while I check out those sites.

No experience as a legal assistant.how do I get an entry level job?
☆ vNy ☆ asked:
I have worked for medical doctors for over 14 years. Anyway, I wanted to change gears and work in the legal field as a paralegal. I notice that many legal assistant jobs require prospective employees to have at least one year experience. How do I get my foot in the door with no experience? I’m not expecting to get a very high paying job in a major corporation just yet. I already have an idea as to where I want my career to go and where I see myself working after graduation but I just don’t see many opportunities for people without legal experience, like me. I am beginning classes in January to work towards an Associate’s Degree.

What kind of job can I get, with a degree in political science and another in criminology?
lady_shila83 asked:
I’m 24 and I just graduated from college last year. I applied to law school, but things didnt work out as planned. I had spent this past school year working as a part-time legal assistant and also as a part-time Police Cadet. I know I could have gotten a full-time job, but thats a long story to get into right now.
Now that I’ll be taking another year off, I wanna work full-time and I want a good job (just until law school starts). I want something related to my field. I would love it if I could do something in the State Dept., Dept. of Justice, or Courts system…any ideas???

College for Legal Secretary Position?
dee5543 asked:
Hi,
I am seriously considering taking a course at a local college to become a legal secretary. However, I don’t have a college degree. Will the certificate be enough? I’m 26 and I don’t have the time or money to go to college right now, so I am trying to find a field that will eventually pay big bucks if I stick with it. I’ve worked in a law office as a office assistant and I loved it. Should I go for it?

Do i need a degree in childcare to be an assistant preschool teacher?
Blondie131 asked:
at the preschool at the temple in my town some of the assistant teachers arent trained as teachers…
i am excellent in kids and my degree is in Communications, is it legal for me to be hired at a preschool without a degree in education??
cause i mean, they just play in school when theyre 2,3,4 and 4 years old, with some things like handwriting and counting in the 3 and 4 year old classes, and as an assistant i would just be helping prepare lessons and games, and helping kids play and clean up….
all of which i am good at lol…
well this isnt really public school…its private i guess, families pay to send the kids

Jobs in the Legal field?
Lexee! asked:
I am a recent college grad that has been on only 3-4 interviews with law firms, one with the courts, several interviews in general, and I don’t know why it is so hard to break into this industry. I am not just some dumb girl trying to get a job just to make money, but this is my life this is my career this is what i went to school for (I have a criminology/pre-law degree). I’ve wanted to become a lawyer since I was 7, but I had no clue that the world of law could be so difficult to break into. An example you ask? I look on all the job search engine sites for Legal Assistant positions, a lot of them seem to be looking for people with 2-3 years experience, or 5-10 years experience. I am bright, eager, & Professional with several years of office experience, and not many bother to even bring me in for an interview. My question is, how do i break in this industry of my dreams?, and if so, what in the world am I doing not to get into this industry? Can some one help me please.
