Haha! No, it's not rocket science. It just depends on what type of work you do and what type of firm you work for. Like I said, I have a friend who is a worker's comp paralegal and she just fills out forms all day, pretty much. VERY boring.
Most firms, as with most employers, are going to train you the way they want you trained anyways, so you really don't need a degree in law or paralegal training or whatever. The thing is, and especially with this economy, if you don't have experience, it's hard to get a job. And if you don't have any experience, education is going to be the next thing that helps you get the J-O-B.
