🚀 Choosing the right paralegal program sets the foundation for a rock-solid legal career. It's crucial to get it right!

When evaluating programs, make sure they can answer YES to these important questions:

1. Does the program offer authentic college credits?

We live in an 'Age of Self-Expression,' but some aspects of life can be a little challenging. For instance, how will my tattoos and piercings impact my job search? Tami Riggs, Director of Outreach and Career Services at Paralegal.edu, weighs in. What are your thoughts and opinions on the topic? Are law firms and corporate legal departments now a safe place to express yourself, or is a level of professional decorum still required?
