What do you enjoy most about your current role?
To be honest, it's kind of weird. But I think the sporadicness of it all definitely keeps me entertained. There's never a dull moment.
There's always going to be something to do, and I think the beauty of it is just getting to learn new things. Even as a paralegal, let alone for anyone who's an attorney, you never stop learning something. I think that's what I really enjoy about it.
It's sad, I never feel like I will ever be a hundred percent informed. But I think that's the beauty of it, is that you just don't know. You'll always be kind of learning as you go, and it never makes it boring.
