Can I use my associates degree as a Paralegal I earned in the US to work in Germany

Can I use my associates degree as a Paralegal I earned in the US to work in Germany?
I am currently working on my associates degree in Paralegal in the U.S and trying to find information on if there is any way that I can work in Germany with my degree once I am finished? I was not sure being that I am learning U.S laws. I was told that sometimes military bases will hire civilians and that I might be able to do it that way. I am having a hard time finding information so I appreciate any help!

well i know for certain degrees in other countries to US dose not work but degrees in US to a countries dose work so yes your degree will work at Germany

You cannot work in Germany as a paralegal and would need to be trained in German & EU law. This would mean going to law school in the US would not help you since you would still need to qualify in Germany. In addition if you are not a German Citizen or EU citizen then you cannot work in Germany without the proper visa. To get the proper visa your degree must be at least bachelors level, not associate degree, and in most cases you would need to have a masters degree. The best advice I can give is if you want to work in German then an associates degree in paralegal studies is not the route to go. Instead do engineering, math at graduate level, science at graduate level, nursing with several years of experience, nursing at graduate level, or possibly getting your MD.

Totally useless certification in Germany. Paralegal with associates degree is strictly limited to US law, plus whatever state you are in. Therefore, it is often of little value even trying to find a job in another state. Military bases require people trained in military law, and generally do not use anyone, especially a civilian, with only some paralegal certificate. If you were in the military, maybe they would assign you to a low level job in JAG, but law degrees are generally required. It is very difficult for any non-EU citizen to get employment and visa to any EU country. Associates degree from a community college is worthless for obtaining an employment visa even if it was in something with more demand. You need at least a bachelors, preferably masters, and some sort of scarce but essential skills & expertise to have much chance of getting work - & the visa! - in EU. You need to look for work in your state. Good luck with that. Half of new paralegal jobs are going to attorneys - especially recent law school grads - who cannot find jobs. Serious glut of attorneys on the market, so they have turned to paralegal jobs to try to get work.

Come over and knock on farmer's doors and ask. Most will be glad for the help. Basic knowledge of German essential, own vehicle (car, motorbike or bicycle) highly recommended. At the very least you should be able to borrow a patch of land for a tent for the night, if they are suspicious, think you are crazy and refuse you. The concept of WWOOF-ing is not that well-known in Germany among non-organic farmers. It would be possible to use an agency for this, but the agency might charge you money. In Austria you can use this website: http://www.wwoof.welcome.at.tf/ For Germany the site is http://www.wwoof.de/
