The life of a Paralegal

graduation

The beginning of your story.

You just graduated from High School and you need to make a big choice. You have two possibilities: you can go in Paralegal Technology or you can go in Social Sciences. Your family push you to go in Social Sciences but you really want to study law at Cegep. What will be your choice? Will you go against their wish or will you choose by yourself?

Choice 1 : Go in Paralegal Technology

Choice 2 : Go in Social Sciences.

Choice 2 : Keep your job.

Go to the party.

You really enjoy the party and one of your friend offers you to go away from the party and have some good time together. You know that he is already a lawyer and can get you a job at his office. You could have a foot in the door and you could have a possible internship.
