It's a joke as old as the hills. My ex sis-in-law, who I am still close enough to that she gets mad when I call her "ex" is an attorney who tells me a lot of the jokes herself.

I also know some great lawyers from around my town.

Anyway, I meant no disrespect, and I agree with you.

You know us financial aid administrators. We're all batshit crazy!

oh I didn't see this

I don't think I fall under your job experience description.

Shawnee123 · 08-21-2009, 01:16 PM

Naw, I didn't think so either.

It was just a way for me to attention-ho some more attention to my job ad.

Well I don't know what your situation is but how about this:

Takes about a year of school at some kind of a vo-tech.

wow interesting

I am allowed to do a short term training program such as this but I thought RNs and med students did that kind of thing?

Unfortunately I can not stand the sight of blood. I would probably hurl and or pass out. I can't stand needles either otherwise the health care field would be a great place.

I know a girl who got her LPN at the joint vocational school. Then when she decided to get her RN she basically had to start over: credits didn't transfer.

yep one has to be careful about that kind of thing.

ok I still want to pick your brain and Cloud's too. No advising required.

If I asked you what was the one class YOU took that was most valuable what would you say? Keybording?
well of course everyone needs that. Acess, Excell? You probably don't use any of those programs.

I saw it. It was funny.

Shawnee123 · 08-21-2009, 01:43 PM

When I was in HS, we had a thing called "TYPING" on what were called "MANUAL TYPEWRITERS." LOL. I never used it until computers came around, but it has come in handy now as I don't even glance at the keyboard most of the time.

Any Office class. I am the Queen of Excel: I learned Excel just out of necessity, but if you can use formulas in a spreadsheet you can save hours of time: it's a very good skill to have. Definitely something in formatting in Word and processing in Excel.

I took a couple paralegal courses but found I wasn't motivated enough for a career change at the time. That turned out good for me, but I'm sure Cloud can tell you what skills she uses.

Cloud · 08-21-2009, 01:55 PM

yeah, MS Office applications. I'm an Excel moron, though, and as for access--I've tried to teach it to myself, without success, since I'm a verbal person. I use Word the most.

You do not need paralegal classes to work in a law office as a receptionist, clerk, runner, or legal secretary. You need basic office skills to act as a legal secretary; MS Office, organizational skills, filing, and some poise and polish is good too. For a legal secretary position, you need a typing speed of at least 75-80 wpm, though, and excellent verbal and word processing skills.

There is money to be made off of those who smoke it.

I don't cotton to being robbed. (had to say it )

I would work in one of those little coffee shacks but I haven't figured out how to quit when I get bored and I would get bored. They don't usually want temp employees.
