No disrespect to Dame Dobbs' credentials or ability, but she sounds like a robot. This advice is spewed out by the law schools who are still fooling graduates that they have any utility in this post-2008 world. Fair enough that those who would like a career in law should be considering paralegal roles. But let's be clear: it's not a graduate job. It shouldn't be a graduate aim. And it undermines the blatant point here: the legal job market has failed graduates. While the sector can't fully be blamed, law schools can be blamed for not shying graduates away. They owe it to graduates to tell them that their chances are extraordinarily low, and that they can find success elsewhere. Not peddling the myth of the paralegal as a fulfilling, rewarding career for them.
