      both are useful, your decision should be based on where you are going to work, if translating, is written so you can do that work via email, if interpreting then you probably have to be in person, no despair there since the pandemic created a new platform ZOOM!

    I know this is kind of late, but I was still wondering if there is any kind of translator that could give me advice? I just got out of high school and am thinking about starting to go to college in order to make a degree in norwegian so I can become a translator. However, every single person that I shared this thought with seemed suspect and asked "What are you gonna do with your degree once you're done? How can you make a living out of that?" which majorly insecured me. I tried to find answers and ended up here somehow, I would be grateful for any kind of advice I can get in order to receive some sort of insight into how it works.

    • @chinchillamdgamer
      @chinchillamdgamer 3 года назад +7

      I don't recommend you choose a rare language because you will end up short in work. Many companies hire or pay per JOB , as norweigan is not one of the majors (compared to chinese, spanish, tagalog...) you will have a hard time getting a job and compete with other already experienced interpreters. I am a spanish-english interpreter. I went to medschool I'm just in between jobs, so to say. I've been doing this for 2 years now as I finished college only in February.

      zowi1rawr - that’s interesting, so it’s okay if you don’t have a language degree? I’m currently at university but although I’m not studying Spanish at university, im at an intermediate level& I would like to have a career related to languages. English Teaching in a spanish speaking country or interpretation interest me the most. I intend to get fluent by living in Spain after university. Do you have any tips for me?

    Honestly, unless the ATA starts lobbying for organizations like USCIS, courts, and other relevant government agencies to start requiring ATA certification I don't see much of a value in getting this certification. With today's technology and the aforementioned organizations flexibilities when it comes to accepting translations all I can see is totally unqualified "professionals" who in many occasions are not even bilingual simply taking over certified translators work and using Google translate to help themselves. I see this every day with many "document preparers." On top of this, to register for the exam you have to be an ATA member, which means you have to shell out close to $200 to even know when the test is going to take place, which believe me, it's not very often. I learned this the hard way last year when I spent $300+ to register around September just to find out that the next exam wasn't even going to be announced until April of the following year. Once you are an ATA member, registering to take the exam costs $525. YES, you read it right. After you have spend all of this money to get certified you have to keep paying your annual membership and on top of it pay for other continuing education credits. Not sure about others, but I simply don't get enough business from document translation to account for this expense.
