I would have loved to have found the cheapest country for VAT and set myself up there, but you need to be a resident before applying for a business address with a VAT number and that's too bureaucratic for a traveller passing through for a few months.

Acabo de renunciar a mi último trabajo (era maestro... entre tantas cosas di clases de idiomas) y justo estaba pensando en un trabajo como traductor. Hablo, aparte de español, inglés, francés e italiano, pero solo me sentiría cómo haciendo traducciones a inglés (vivo en Tijuana, desde pequeño lo aprendí y creo que lo hablo bastante fluido) y español. Sin embargo no tengo la menor idea cómo empezar.  Any ideas? :? Hola Benny!

Gracias por cualquier recomendacion!  I just found your blog today through StumbleUpon!  When I came to this post I got so excited I almost didn’t read it.  I am a junior in college working towards fluency in Spanish, French, and Mandarin.  My love for languages was discovered in Ecuador where I spent a year as a high school exchange student.  Translating and interpreting are careers I am very interested in!  I want to learn so many languages and visit so many countries!  These are careers (as you outlined) that are perfect, especially when done online, to travel and live on one’s own schedule.  (ALSO I WANT TO BE MY OWN BOSS.)  With that said, I chose to major in Spanish and French (called a “Romance Language” major), to be a better reader and writer in those languages, as well as International Studies, for my curiosity in world issues.  I completely understand your emphasis on specialization (outside of languages!).  What recommendations do you have for me as far as going into translation/interpretation without a specialized degree (that isn’t language)?
