Quote: I can go anywhere. Where do I work? You name it! Courts, hospitals, corporations, theaters, museums, schools and colleges, television studios, nursing homes...even Disney World! Anywhere people need to communicate is where my job takes me. Quote: It's something new everyday! There is a national shortage of interpreters. What does this mean for me? I always have enough work, and my work is well paid. I can set my own hours, and choose whether to work alone or on a team. Someday soon I plan to start my own interpreting business.
