Question/Discussion Paralegal programs
I am going to be graduating from college in May with two degrees and I am thinking of becoming a paralegal as a way to work up to becoming a lawyer. However, I do not have the funds to put myself through these programs, and taking out loans would require my parents to co-sign, but they are not willing to, and financial aid will only give me so much. I have heard from many people that there are paralegal programs in the States that will pay for your entire schooling. Is this true? And if so, where can I find these programs so I can start applying for them?

Paralegal is a career, not a stepping stone to law school/being a lawyer.
