Think how much someone can make as an interpreter these days. They are needed everywhere. Schools, courts, hospitals. I really am thinking about taking some Spanish classes. It never hurts to know another language.
I have seen job postings that pay a lot more for persons who interpret.
I know that most Court systems pay a small fortune for interpreter services...lemmee check...
I'd imagine the legal Hispanics have all these jobs. The rising demand out here in California is for those who speak the indigenous languages spoken in Mexico, because now we must provide interpreters for the illegals who don't know English or Spanish. If you learn mixteco, you'll really be in business
