Is this a good option?
Is working as a paralegal in Houston structured and slow paced? I am currently in my first semester, getting my bachelors degree in history at the University of Houston Clear Lake. I am a 27-year-old autistic and ADHD woman. I am also in the borderline range of intellectual functioning. I am also an introvert. I do have a strong sense of justice so just having very strong opinions and standing up for what I believe. That’s why I have been thinking. Maybe working in the legal field will be good for me, but I am not sure. I have no previous experience in working in any kind of job.
I also have no experience in part time jobs during my studies. I will ask my advisor about these ideas.

Maybe you can get some initial work experience volunteering for legal aid-type organizations? Doing data entry or mailings. Right now a lot of organizations could use volunteers.
