This isn’t so much a day in the life as it is a moment in many lives, but at least it shows how diverse the applications can be

I wish to become a translator from English to Japanese and I already know a college I want to attend but the only thing that is bothering me is :How can I actually get into being a translator? I believe the college I want to go to is just for learning Japanese.

[EstherHermida]

Great job! Thank you for showing what we do. I love what I do. #1nt

You didn't explain what simultaneous interpreters are.

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.
