Hi Adrian :) First of all, thank you for your high-quality content. I really appreciate the insights you share with us. Now to my question: I'm in my mid-30s and am currently doing a BA in translation studies (FR/NL > DE). I really want to get into the translation business, but I wonder if my disabilities (ASD/ADHD) will pose too big of an issue. I can only study and work part-time, so by the time I get my MA degree, I will probably be in my early 40s. I'm afraid I won't be able to compete with other newbie freelancers who are much younger and don't have any disabilities. What are your thoughts on starting a late freelance translation career with severe impairments (Schwerbehinderung)?
Hi Adrian, thank you for your informative and helpful channel! Based on the title, I thought this video was going to be more about creating a portfolio to convince clients to hire you. I see that it's more focused on Q&A for freelancers. Would it be possible to indicate and link the questions in the description to make it easier to find relevant information? Thanks!
Hey Adrian, thanks for some great tips and info. Even though I've experienced much of what you discuss because I've been a translator for 8 years, it's good to be reminded by someone who is also experienced, and I do also pick up some nice tips from you, so that's also great. Thanks for a good and worthy channel!

Thanks for your vids Adrian. PayPal is not available in my country of origin (Cuba). My solution? I moved to the USA 😅

Hi Elise, yes this is a Q&A video that I make roughly every 2 months. Timestamps will be added to the video soon so it will be easier to navigate :)
