I want to become a paralegal but I am not sure if I should take the traditional route of a political science degree… I really love sociology, but is that the best degree for my career path? Also, should I get my paralegal certification before or after I get my bachelors degree?
Definitely after…my degree is a BA International Studies: USSR & Eastern Europe.
1° Sociology is fine.
2° after 
My sister studied political science at UMD, now a paralegal.
