Robert Said:

I am comtemplating training for a new career. Any paralegals, tell me how you like your job.?

We Answered:

I used to teach paralegal classes and I have seen paralegals in all aspects of the profession. There are many online programs that will allow you to get a good paralegal education. Since you already have an associate degree, you should try to get a job in a law firm and work your way into a paralegal position.

If you have questions, feel free to email me.

Rafael Said:

I need re-training for a new career.What would be a good choice?

We Answered:

I'm confused - you said "non-physical", but say you are considering being a mechanic which is physical.

Options for items that can be learned in a tech or community college that are "non-physical":
(1) Bookkeeping
(2) Computers: Security/Networking/Support/Programming
(3) Drafting
(4) Human Services: Substance Abuse Counselor, etc.
(5) Medical Assistant - Office Support
(6) Paralegal

If you can do some physical items, Nursing is ALWAYS hot for employment.

Herbert Said:

How to start in a new career (HR or training)?

We Answered:

Have you explored opportunities with your own company in HR? You most likely have performed some HR type of duties in your current role so you may not have to start over if you have a strong reputation. Your personality and business skills are more important than a degree in HR. It is fairly normal however,for a person who changes careers to move down in position. www.shrm.org is a good place to learn about the field. Best wishes
