What are the career options for professional mediators?
Mediation is still an emerging profession, and quick career achievements are limited. Most private mediators who make significant income from mediating are doing so as an adjunct activity to an already existing problem-solving practice (e.g., engineering, financial planning, law, real estate, or counseling) that can divert a stream of clients into the mediation option. There are currently few, if any, places where one can apply for a job as a full time mediator.
