My thinking is the way to do it is to first find the lawyers and a field of law you want to work in, as a legal assistant/clerk, whatever. If they like you I suspect the work-study road to paralegal would be available and supported.

My observation, most of the people I see looking miserable are working for the wrong lawyers or in the wrong field of law. And, I see alot of those. Survey says...lots of very unhappy people in the legal profession. So..it's all about fit, sort'a like bicycles.
