Reply #78: I checked into getting a paralegal certificate.

[halobeam]

I just need another semester to get my associates and then I qualify for the certification program. Some colleges don't require an associates, but the one near me does. I have a friend who got her degree as a paralegal, it cost her more and it took more time. My SIL is an attorney and put feelers out to those she knows in the field and they're pretty much in agreement that the certificate would not hinder my finding a job or lower the pay-scale (at least in the legal field).

Do you know if there are specific attorneys just for real-estate? If not, do you know of any good sites, etc.. that would give me more information?

On a side note: I can hop on a bus at my corner and it would take me right to the university. That thrills me to no end because I would love to get rid of my gas guzzling bomb of a car and save the insurance and gas money to boot. Three birds with one stone on that!
