Ok, but I find it scammy to make people pay for a "degree" in a field where it's not required. Like CNA certificates, for many years these were fields that people were trained and paid on the job to learn and do or high school votech training provided for free - until the predatory profit and non-profit orgs decided to take advantage of federal student loan financing and sell such training as "degrees" to speds like Russ and unemployed ppl up at 3 am watching infomercials about the new & exciting careers awaiting them.
That is fair enough, though it is worth noting that while a paralegal certificate or degree is not required per se, pretty much no law firm is going to hire somebody with just a high school diploma. Hell, I know plenty of people with a JD working as a paralegal because the legal economy is such shit. Literally every other paralegal I've ever known has had some sort of certificate or degree, save for one friend who worked for a solo practitioner and was a nepotism hire (working for his uncle).
