I clerked throughout college.
The pay depends on where you are working. As a student, I was making two dollars more than a clerk I knew from another firm who had graduated and worked there for several years. I have a feeling this has to do with the reputation of the firm also, but I could be way off on that.
I'd recommend clerking for a while, and then later deciding if you want to go to paralegal or law school. It'll give you a good idea of whether or not you like law. Also, there are so many different kinds of law out there... I was lucky in that I worked for about five different areas which were all represented in my firm, so I got a good idea of what I would/wouldn't be interested in.
I work at a real estate agency now- law just wasn't for me... at least not now.
