How long would I have to go to college for if I'm interested in American Sign Language interpretation?
I am interested in a career involving ASL, particularly being a translator or working in Deaf Education. How many years would I have to go to college? I researched it a bit and came up with about twelve years. This isn't an automatic deal breaker for me, but that is a very long time, and I want to consider it before applying to colleges. I am a high school junior by the way.
Is it possible for me to go to college to be a ASL translator if before college I only have very, very basic ASL knowledge ?
I have always been very interested in being an ASL translator. However, my family has been unable to afford programs to teach me. I have learned a little through online courses, but my knowledge is limited. And I am not even sure if what I do know is correct. I really want to enhance my signing abilities, but I will not be able to take a sign language course before college.
