Best Careers

My husband and I did everything by the book.  We both worked hard in the traditional sense, he worked in law and I raised the kids.  After 30+ years with the same company he retired with a nice retirement package.  I never bothered getting so much as an associate degree because my main job was to raise the kids.  Although, now after the aggressive investments we made to retire early have failed we find ourselves in an unplanned situation.  I will either have to go to work to help save for a while, or our retirement will be put off by approximately 15 years by our estimation. 

I have decided to complete a degree and acquire an accredited associates degree in paralegal studies.  Even though I am not excited about the reasons I am returning to school I am still excited to learn.  I feel like I am finally completing something that I will have total ownership of, my education.  I have even talked about continuing on with a ba degree after completion of the program.

In addition, I think it will be fun to work in the same office as my husband for a while. More than likely, we will not get to work on the same cases, but I look forward to seeing him more often then I did when he was in the middle of his career.
