Training for Translators

#13: "I'm not making enough money!" Let's dig a little deeper!


Listen Later

In this episode, I take a look at three ways to not earn enough money as a freelance translator or interpreter:

  1. You don't have enough work, period
  2. You have enough work, but it's low-paying
  3. You have well-paying work, but not enough of it 

...and how to handle each of these situations!
