Helpful as always, MMM.
I didn't go to college to specifically become a translator...the most specific qualification I can think of is passing the JLPT level 1.

What are the nessicasary task of becoming one?
Natively? No. Fluently? I feel I can pull it off well enough.

Economics inspired me to be a translator, and being told "You should be a translator" enough times.

The "easiest" way to be considered qualified is to pass the JLPT 1. Other than that it is just practice.
