Translating with writing career?

Question

I'm interested in getting a job with linguistics. I love german and am currently learning it, and I know Spanish and a little japanese. What kind of career options are there with translating documents? I'm stronger in languages when it comes to translating them from paper and understanding their meaning than speaking. Are their a lot of jobs in this particular area and maybe through immigration?

Answer 1

an outstanding sort of folk think of that to be a author you will possibly desire to have an English or imaginative Writing degree or some thing like that. definitely, lots of people who write for a living have not got a bachelor's degree in those; lots have levels in some thing else (or none in any respect). even nevertheless, once you are going to college, I recommend you a minimum of minor in English or Writing to bolster your skills.
