How difficult would it be to double major in Spanish and ASL interpretation with a minor in film studies?
I am going to be an interpreter (for both Spanish and ASL) and enjoy film as well, so I am curious as to how difficult it would be to take some classes related to that interest. I love languages too, of course, but as film will not relate to my career at all, it would just be for fun. #Fall25

How vast is the overlap between a career as a translator and a career as an interpreter?
At the moment I am studying Spanish Translation & Interpretation in undergraduate school. I adore reading and writing, but I also value the spoken and listening aspect of language as well, and therefore feel that I would be suited professionally not just for translation, but also for interpretation. Once I become a professional, would I be able to fluidly go between providing translation and interpretation services? Are there companies or jobs that would require both of me and therefore allow me that versatility, or would I have to have two different occupations in order to do both? If you are a translator and/or interpreter, which of the two do you prefer/find more fulfilling? Thanks so much! #spanish #translation #interpretation #interpreter #translator #translator-studies #spanish-translation
