Scenario:
You are in a social setting with a fairly large group of people you don’t know. As conversations progress everyone decides to go around the room sharing what they do for a living. Your turn arrives and you proudly say you are an interpreter by trade. Silence fills the room and then someone in the back says; You can make a living doing that?

A friend recently shared this informative article with me. There is so much good information I felt the need to expound on it.
The site MentalFloss.com advertises to be the place where “Knowledge Junkies Get Their Fix”

I’m referring to Life in LINCS, a blog written by the members of the Department of Languages and Intercultural Studies (LINCS) at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh.

Hurdle nº 2: Becoming a paid interpreter
Working for an international institution
So thanks very much to the people at Life in LINCS for all the great summer…
