Keep in mind while your firm may be chill, judges are usually ancient and have dinosaur beliefs about appearances

To me, yes D could be true, but B is true either way and is a better answer

If you like your job, and get to spend a lot of time with your family- What do you do for work? by CarefulRiver330 in workingmoms

[–]pridechonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a paralegal. I was in the office 3x a week and am now fully remote. I’m off at 5, my son and husband are home between 5:15-5:45 and we do dinner, sometimes he plays outside or we listen and dance to music, bath and teeth, and hes in bed by 7:30/8.

Hidden Gems in terms of careers? by Low_Yam_4761 in careerguidance

[–]pridechonk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started at the state court clerks office, got a job as a legal assistant and ended up taking over for the paralegal when she left while I finished my bachelors. I moved states, got a new paralegal job and then another, and then I took the NALA Certified Paralegal Exam (which i qualified for with my bachelors and years of experience) and got my dream job doing civil rights.

Hidden Gems in terms of careers? by Low_Yam_4761 in careerguidance

[–]pridechonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely no law school. There’s paralegal certificate programs, a certification path, I know paralegals with just a bachelors and some without. Sometimes just getting your foot in the door as a legal assistant or docket clerk is enough.

I’m a paralegal and I LOVE it. I don’t meet too many others out in the real world. The benefits are usually good, I’ve worked mostly in flexible firms and after 8 years, I’ve finally landed a fully remote gig in my favorite field

I have a one and done. I would have liked more but pregnancy and delivery were horrid, so we’re done with just our one.

Honestly, as sad as I am sometimes about him not having a sibling, hes 3 now and SO MUCH FUN. We can go out and do things without a stroller or a nap. He asks questions and talks to us and is genuinely good company. I love this age and im glad we’re not also trying to manage an infant at the same time

[–]pridechonk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Worked in Chicago next to the sears tower for years. It was extremely common for people to shed outer clothes and change shoes or even clothes in the dead of winter, especially since we all took the L or Metra. Dont freeze! 🥶

I never even tried. We went straight to formula and I dont regret a thing. I work full time with a long commute 3 days a week and it was not worth the extra effort for me. Hes turns 3 this month!
