Two recent conversations:
Old person: So, I heard you were interested in the law. Are you going to become a paralegal?
Me: No. I've graduated from law school already.
Old person: So you used to be a paralegal?
Me: No, you don't need to be a paralegal to go to law school.
Old person: But wouldn't you like to be a paralegal? It will be good experience for you if you want to become a lawyer some day.
Me: I already went to law school. I don't need to work as a paralegal to become a lawyer.
Old person: That's too bad. Being a paralegal is a really good job.
A week later . . . .
Old person: Tell me what you do at your job.
Me: Well, I work for a judge, so I help him do the sorts of things that judges do.
Old person: So, you're like a secretary?
Me: No, I do legal work.
Old person: Like a paralegal, then.
Me: I'm not a paralegal. I went to law school.
[Pause in conversation]
Old person: Why did you move here? Aren't there jobs in California?
Me: Well, I wanted this particular type of job, and this is where I got the job offer.
Old person: Maybe if you went to school to become a paralegal you could find more work.

Lol. Was this the same old person in both conversations? Old people are indeed funny. They are also terrible drivers.
Yep, it was the same old person.
Is your old lady related to a paralegal or something? There has to be some reason why she's obsessed with that job.
