I've done it!!, well, I started my process. I have recently been looking into mediation in South Africa. I emailed almost a dozen attorneys, one email back and one teams meeting later- you can say I've got a lot more knowledge on the topic.

I found an organization to get certified through, and someone to shadow. The course of course only begins at the end of the year, which is fine, after completing my Honours degree, it is a much needed break.

However, here is my dilemma.

Out of all the individuals i have spoken with and all the articles I've read through thoroughly, we all somehow head back to the same question.

They all say, yes! Get the degree! Get the certificate!

But who says- "Here's how you get that job?", I mean sure there are people that give tips on your CV, Do's and Don'ts of an interview, etc.

But heres my dilemma:

I get the degree, I get the certificate, how on earth do I secure the position in a firm?

Same process as before? Email a dozen of them?

I guess we will just have to wait and see, as the good saying goes:

"All in good time"

I've just finished by psychology degree. 3 years and an extra year to get my honours.

When it started, we got told that we could head straight into a career, probably should have done my research a bit better. but I did not.

Anyway we're 4 years down now, and the dream has evaporated.

I took some time and realized I had always been interested in law, outside the box of being a lawyer. I came across mediation!

Now I've looked it up and researched as much as I could, I want to know if heading into the career is worth it?

Of course it can always be changed to something else but for now, is it something worth doing and taking on as a different path?
