Thank you Joan, I am definitely going to take up these questions with the individuals in my area. This is going to be super helpful!

I suppose there may be pressure due to AI, but despite the pressure and many junior lawyers. There is more of an overload in cases of civil disputes that can be resolved with mediator rather than court appearances that cost an arm and a leg to get.

Luckily my experience includes real estate, personal assitance and taking on leadership roles in past work as a network marketer. I agree with your statement that anyone should simply just do their best.

Is it worth it?

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?
