Hello!
I graduated from college about two years ago and figured out that the degree I've obtained was not the career path I wanted to pursue. So, I decided---Japanese translator. (Heh... x_x what a long road to take)
I just have a question:
What exactly should I do? I do not really know the necessary steps into becoming a translator. English is my one and only language. I am taking a Japanese class right now (once a week), but it is an independent language school that does not have a sturdy curriculum. Meaning, there are no tests, quizzes, worksheets nor anything in particular to reinforce what we've been taught. As of now, my class is covering chapters in Genki Elementary Volume 1. We read through the chapter, but most of the studying is done at home. I am thinking that I should go to a University and obtain an undergraduate degree (again) in Japanese and then head straight to the Linguistics Masters with Japanese Acquisition program.
If anyone has any inputs or advice, it would be most appreciated.
Thank you.
