As the discussion has been around case studies, The Psychology Network 
has gathered 30+ career case studies on psychology graduates. We 
continue to accept case studies on an ongoing basis. Psychology students 
who interview alumni and submit case studies  receive a £25 Amazon 
voucher for each case study published. See the following URL for our 
collection and case study form and guideline.
