What courses should I take in college?


Question:
I'm going back to school (online classes)after a 20 year absence from college. I have a degree in medical transcription but would like a degree in paralegal studies/legal assisting. I'm looking for something as trial course to see if this the way to go about it.

Answer:
Make sure that the school you are enrolling in is regionally accredited. That is very important because it means that it is regionized by other colleges (for transfer credit and higher degrees) as well as by employers as a valid education. Try the school Thomas Edison State College. They offer online degrees with a variety of courses to try out. Their cost isn't very expensive. They are regionally accredited and offer federal financial aid. If you want you can take a bunch of your elective courses with them and transfer them to a paralegal studies program. Good luck! Their website is www.tesc.edu .
Start with lower level business and legal classes. You should already have your core couses out of the way because of your prior degree.
paralegal courses are available online, but I would suggest taking an in-school course, especially for legal research. I have a paralegal certificate, and found information useful to my everyday life, but the job itself never appealed to me.
Take the courses you like the most! duh
!!!!!!!!!!... just kidding :)
