Loving what you do

I really enjoyed seeing the three paralegals featured in this week's class in their live presentation, and I think their enthusiasm for the profession is clear in their videos. Note that they all are involved in an area of law, and a type of practice, that is a good fit for them. BJ is clearly a people-person who loves the client contact she gets in her family law firm, and is happy to forego the legal research that Elton clearly loves to do (next class, Elton will tell you how he was able to find out which way the wind was blowing in Kona ten years earlier!). Van loves being on the cutting edge of criminal law - one of the fastest-changing areas in the law.

This unit should open your eyes to the fact that people of all different job preferences can find a job that is a good fit for them in the legal area. Going to work at a job you love has a value that's much more than monetary.
