The problem is this: if you're going to get a 2nd bachelor's degree in paralegal studies, that's fine. But you're going to need to work for a while after receiving it before trying to go to law school. I believe the rule of thumb is that the worse your grades are, the longer you should wait to apply to law school. They say if you have below a 3.0, you should wait about five years. They're not going to count your grades from any bachelor degrees beyond your first one anyways, and it will be obvious to them you were just trying to raise your GPA.
Regarding the current job situation: the first thing I thought when I read your original post was, "she only sent out 50 resumes over a year and a half time period?" When I graduated from college, I sent out well over 150 resumes in about a three month period. Play that numbers game. The more resumes you send out, the more likely you're going to be to land that job.
If you can get that legal experience before going to law school, then going to a school like Charlotte's new law school will be okay since you'll have a better chance of getting a job upon graduation. Although their "hook" is that they'll be graduating lawyers w/ the experience of a 2nd year associate. So, once they get that ABA approval, they might not be a bad school for you to look into attending.
I personally will NOT be attending there b/c I need out of this state!
