Need career advice. Administrative Court Paralegal vs PI Legal Assistant?
Post Body

I need career advice please. I'm a paralegal, bachelor's degree with almost 7 years experience--almost all in Collections. About half was the Litigation side and Half was the settled and paid in full and garnishment side. 6 months contract Personal Injury side. My ultimate goal is simply to move up to being able to support a spouse and kid.

I have two job offers. 1 is a Paralegal for a State Department of Education in an Administrative Court. Responsibilities include

  • Track complaints in electronic filing system.
  • Draft email correspondence and follow up communication.
  • Review, analyze and interpret case materials.
  • Implement and coordinate hearing and settlement orders. 
  • Examine and create files for new legal claims.

Second offer is a Legal Administrative Assistant at a PI firm. I would learn a lot more the entire process of a Personal Injury Case, but I'd also be performing basic Admin duties, scanning, mailing, making binders etc as well.

I need someone smarter than me to tell me which is better experience long run so I know I'm not being biased.
