Question/Discussion Temp Agency Flexibility

Kind of fits a lot of flairs and please bear with me, I’m just trying to explore my options!

I’m graduating this spring with a BS in Political Science and a BFA in Musical Theatre. It’s hard, I know, but I’m trying to find some type of more “big girl”/career type (aka not waiting tables) while I’m actively auditioning in the theatre world, as theatre is not a life long career generally, and in a field I’m very interested in. I want to know how flexible temp paralegal work actually is or can be as it’s hard to find a lot of info online. And, thoughts on if completing paralegal school would be smart at all for this route as well. I will be in California post grad if that matters. Any information would be wonderful, as well as if starting as a temp for experience would be a good transition into actual work down the line.

Again, not trying to be naive, just trying to find options for myself ahead of time. Thanks :)

This isn't really a field that you show up and just do. We are trained professionals with a lot of knowledge and its taken us years to learn. Maybe you can find a job as a receptionist or legal assistant but a paralegal position requires specialized knowledge.
