How can I become an interpreter

Postby swarnakshi on 04 Jun 2010 06:37

What other subjects should I study in order to become an interpreter? I want to become an interpreter and want to know what subjects i should study in college (besides the target language).

I would think history, culture, and sociology courses would be the most applicable...

Throw in some poly-sci, comparative religions maybe. Gotta be able to think like your client when needed, that makes a huge difference between good and great.
