I recently followed a newscast on TV, showing people living in tents in Florida, and the place was also called ”Tent City”. Seeing the people living there, I came to realize how fortunate I am to have chosen to earn my living as a freelance translator. I earn a very decent and stable income by doing translation jobs.
While translation jobs certainly are down from previous years, it’s still a market with great potential. Just think about it – all you really need to get started is some sort of translation skill, adequate background, a computer and an Internet connection – that’s really all there is to it. I’m pretty certain that a significant portion of the newly unemployed people could actually take up translation as at least a part-time job – they’re just not aware of the opportunity.
How you become a translator is something that differs a lot between the different countries, but with all the human resources out there who are out of a job, I would be surprised if not some of them have qualifications that would indeed make them brilliant translators.
The investments to get started are negligible, and the information is out there for everyone to research and incorporate in their scheme of things– all you need to do is look up a few keywords, like “translation jobs”, “translation agency database” and similar. If you’re unemployed and reading this – consider working as a freelance translator on a part time or full-time basis!
Boy, I just wish more people would become aware of the scope of earning stable incomes in the translation business. And you can find a lot about translation jobs or translation agencies or translation rates by doing a bit of Internet Research. It will assist your translation business a lot and ensure a regular income from translation jobs.
