I tried to translate for a while but I was spending more time looking for work than actually working and literally every project I found was being rushed. On top of that there were all these test-samples to get the higher paying jobs and by the time I finished the tests, the work had already been given to a company in India that was accepting a rate less than 1/4 of the living wage anywhere else.

I'm glad there are happy translators out there! I hope to take it up again some day, part time, but I have decided not to go out and LOOK for it. Hopefully a fun project can land on my lap sooner or later.
