ASL
I know a couple of people on here are interpreters.....
I am in the process of trying to figure out what I want to do with my life. (I know it's the story of all of our lives.) I am currently going to school for business finance and I really don't think this is what I want to do. While I'm to far to change my major and would hate to start something over I've always thought ASL was really neat. I thought I could always pick up a class at school and see if it is something I really like, and if I loved it enough I would go back to school for it.
I wanted to get your opinions on what you do. Do you like/love it? What about it do you like/love? Is it fun? Is it hard? Stressful?
Re: ASL
I love it. It just fits for me. I started out an art major and then took ASL for fun in college and found that I loved it. Can't really explain why it just fits.
Interpreting is fun some days, hard some days, and stressful some days. I did free lance and it was very stressful not knowing where every assignment was going to come from, where the assignment was and what exactly you were going to do. I now work in education and it is fun but a lot of interpreting with very little breaks so that can be hard. And some days the kids just really stress me out.
I LOVE it! I, too, have worked in the schools for 4 years and I'm actually getting burnt out. The kids don't know sign that well, dont pay attention etc. I just started freelancing in May and I am so much happier. I get to meet new people, go to different places, and set my own hours.
I love the Deaf community too. One of my clients actually go to the same pool I do so we chat all the time. Deaf day at the zoo is coming up in Oct.
What is stressful is finding a job. There are many great interpreters in the Cincy area. I went to school at Cincinnati State and I loved it. They have a deaf studies cert you can get if you just want to learn asl and not be an interpreter
