Hi Virginia, I would say don't give up on what you want to do. However, if you require a masters degree in order to do the translations (is this in the UK?) then you will need that and there is no getting away from it. This doesn't mean that you can't be perfecting your technique and working towards translation while you are waiting for your masters. Just be building up your skills. Things that we want often never come easy. All the best, Neely.
Do you know how I can get an opportunity to do a fancy interpretation from Chinese to English? I do not have a master degree, which is all the translation companies want, before they truly read some other stuff included with the resume. I am looking forward to getting a master degree in a year, but not now. However I want to do some interpretations now, not next year. What are some of the things I can do to get me a chance? Can I keep sending letters to those companies? Will the professors in college help, for example, to recommend me to one of those companies? I don't think so, because they won't. Should I simply give the idea up?
