Just to make it clear, 1000 bolivianos is not even the national minimum wage. No one can live on that (you'd spend half of that on gas alone). Like I said, legal assistants are paid shit because they're students who later on get hired as lawyers by the same firm they worked for as paralegals. For example: My friend's brother just got his college degree and is a junior attorney with a starting salary of 800 dollars (5520 bolivianos) a month. Quite the difference, huh?
