Hi Jenna, are you looking into getting a degree in law? If you are in California, check this out: https://calda.org/What-is-a-Legal-Document-Assistant-(LDA)

Also, if you have any interest in tax: https://www.irs.gov/tax-professionals/enrolled-agents/become-an-enrolled-agent


These are suggestions only. I don't know what the job prospects are after obtaining either so be sure to research.

Richard’s Answer

You could get a paralegal degree. Law school is difficult though, and it will be hard to work full time and study as much as is necessary. There are law schools that offer night school or part time programs. That might be a good option for you if you wish to study and work.

Jenna’s Answer

Have you explored financial aid, work-study programs or scholarship options with your adviser? You can get a job while you are in school, but since your tags indicate an interest in law or medicine, it's really difficult to get jobs in those fields without additional training. How much time do you want to spend? I think you should consider your goals and speak with your student adviser to see how you can finance your education; their job is to help you explore those options.
