I’m currently moving into the legal field and finishing my paralegal certificate. I’m actually getting ready for an interview as I write this. I know I don’t want to stay in the legal field though as I have my Master of Public Administration and want to work in public policy. I want to be a policy analyst. Just had a hard time breaking into the field so I’m taking a detour.
