What is the best route to become a paralegal?

A friend of mine has told me that alot of law firms will not even look at you unless you have a BA (which I do not). I am looking into how many credits shy away I was of a BA when I left school many years ago. So my question is, would it be a better route to go and finish my BA or go take a paralegal course first and then finish my BA? Any advice is much appreciated.

There are several online paralegal universities and colleges
where you can finish getting your BA while you also learn
the paralegal profession. A degree of course, will be your best route to becoming a paralegal instead of just taking a
course. I don’t think law firms put much stock in short courses.
Kaplan University Online is a good place to start looking.
They helped me get financial aid when I got ready to enroll.
It should be easy for you to get an associates. A lot of firms
will consider you, depending on your grades. They are all
interested in your GPA. It’s like an IQ score to them.
I wish you the best of luck. "Happy Holidays"
