attend? I've already got 2 bachelors degrees and 2 masters degrees (in literature and education), and after working as a teacher for several years, I'm looking into a career change.

I thought about taking classes to get a paralegal certificate at my local community college, because it is convenient and inexpensive. But would this hurt my chances of finding employment? Do law firms really care whether someone obtains their certificate from a community college as opposed to a more prestigious university?

(Note: The community college's program is ABA approved. Also, the schools I attended previously for my BAs and MAs were good, well-respected universities)
