So I have two job offers right now. One is a legal assistant/paralegal at 45k with full benefits and would give me really valuable experience if I want to stay on that path. The other is an Admin Assistant/Communications Specialist for a local union at 55k and even better benefits. You guys are probably rolling your eyes thinking DUH TAKE THE 55k but I’m not sure if starting a bit lower as a legal assistant would lead to higher paying legal jobs in the future, over 55k.
For reference I majored in political science then went to law school for a year and did a legal internship before dropping out. So I kinda feel like it’s the only industry I can actually break into. Like the communications job won’t lead to other similar positions because I don’t have a major in that. What do you guys think?
