That seems kind of degrading to someone in a professional environment, I mean I make coffees for people all the time at work, and I am a big ugly man. But I worked in a coffee shop you know so its a bit different. Gee it would make me feel kind of useless so I can understand why so women would want to work in this field.<BR/><BR/>I have also heard that lawyers treat their secretaries like grabage I was wondering is this mostly fact of fiction, or a few bitter angry people telling me false stories ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9203481901177661359.post-32306526600416001802007-08-04T18:46:00.000-05:002007-08-04T18:46:00.000-05:00LOL!

I'll be interested to see who will replace them (although I won't be around because, you guessed it, I'm in law school!) I think that too many people see secretarial work as beneath them. If they realized the myriad projects they could work on, the access they would have, etc., I think they might realize that secretarial positions are much better than paralegal positions. Plus they pay better over the long term. You should speak with someone at NALS (the National Association of Legal Secretaries). They certify legal secretaries and can help employers find a good candidate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
