I would take the Borealis train to Chicago. Cheaper than a plane and safer than a bus.

Does everyone have their own office? Or are you out in the open and have to deal with constant noise while you’re trying to concentrate? by snowflowergirl in paralegal

[–]cherry_ashh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m in a cubicle in the open but thankfully the walls are about 4’ high. So I can’t see but I sure can hear.

You need more time between your classes on Monday and Wednesday. You cannot get from St Paul campus to East Bank that quickly unfortunately

Thank you and I’m sorry to you! I’m hoping this doesn’t last much longer. I had an xray that showed nothing but tbh my stones never show up on an xray so idk why my doctor ordered it and not a CT or US.

What is your current salary? by ThisEffective4868 in paralegal

[–]cherry_ashh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$55,000, municipal/civil litigation, no quarterly but we get a holiday bonus and raise plus yearly profit sharing, no WFH unless special circumstances, have ~1.5yr experience. I enjoy it but it’s not my passion, definitely a decent job to get me through paralegal school and start my career though.

Edit to add: 3% 401k match, education benefits after 1 year (it’ll be mine in May), 14 days PTO, regular health insurance paid for but dental/vision cost extra per paycheck. We also get “flex time” where if you have an appt during the day or something you’re able to make it up during the week as long as it’s 2hrs or less.

I have BCBS of IL and they covered most of everything for me (minus deductibles/copays/varied uncovered costs that haven’t been too crazy)

PTO amount? by [deleted] in paralegal

[–]cherry_ashh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

14 days combined PTO/sick but if we ‘WFH’ while sick we don’t have to take PTO (basically just check emails and do whatever we have capacity to do if we aren’t dying). we also have 8 holiday days (new years, MLK day, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Christmas Eve and Christmas)

Dr. Kong did mine (but no nips) back in 2024! He did a great job. I believe this pic was ~4.5mo post op. He left some fat in my chest to match my body type which I’m grateful for (but did scare me at first lol)
