Playing Detective

Legal analysts and paralegals are often called upon to conduct investigations. These investigations, usually performed by attorneys, can be quite involved and difficult. Duties include extensive research, report analysis, interviewing, and development of theories. The work environment is very high pressure as an investigator. One should be able to spar with others in a combative manner, make strict deadlines, and attend many back-to-back meetings.

Earning a law degree can help you prepare for this type of career, or if you're already employed and wanting additional coursework or certificates, you might find that an online degree will be convenient.
