I don't know what it was that I expected when I picked up a copy of Robert Mongue's latest book, "The Empowered Paralegal: Working with the Elder Client" but that wasn't as important as the fact that I just couldn't put it down.
This is a book for everyone. While it is written specifically for paralegals, just substitute any position and you have...

How long have you been a paralegal? Since April 2003, for approximately 7 years....
The paralegal profession was created out of whole cloth.
