Can a translator/interpretor make good money?
I plan on majoring in German and minoring in English. I'm almost at the rate of fluency in German, and want to start learning french next year in college. My old goal was to teach english in germany, but now I had a new thought pop up. I could be a tranlsator for a German or English company!! But can you make decent money??

Definitely! Some translators/interpreters make good money, it all depends on how fast and accurate you are. It is definitely more difficult to work on a freelance basis because of a huge competition in the market, but if you are lucky to get the projects then most probably you can make it your full time job even and make good income. You can always combine teaching and translating.

companies need people who speak multiple languages to help develop their bussines, meaning that people who speak more then one language are needed, speaking more then one language gets you hired for jobs easier, because they need people who speak more then one language, so you should make a pretty decent amount.
