I am interested in a specialty area of interpreting, such as legal, medical, religious or performance interpreting. How do I pursue that?
These specialty areas require skills and training beyond general interpreting and language skills. You must first develop strong general skills in interpreting. Then, workshops, courses and mentoring are available around the country. In some specialties you may earn higher salaries and be highly in demand. Other specialties may offer no full-time employment and little payment. In any case, get a good solid base in general interpreting first.
