South African applying for remote jobs

Question/Discussion

I am a 24 year old South African. I have obtained my undergraduate degree, Bachelor of Social Science with majors in law and psychology. I am currently in my second year of my law degree (LLB). I currently work part time at a sports streaming company (not law related but lots of administrative work). I also potentially have an internship coming up in June/July at a law firm.

I am looking to apply as a paralegal at firms on the East Coast of the USA as these office hours would suit me best.

Questions:

  1. Do I actually have a chance of getting a remote paralegal job in the USA currently ?
  2. What courses can I do or what certifications can I acquire to improve my chances of getting a job ?
    3.What salary could I expect starting out if I do get get a job ?
    4.Where can I apply for/look for remote paralegal jobs ?

Thanks.
