This is amazing advice, thank you!
And I totally get that about reputation. I’m an interpreter and that’s really important to me too, especially now since AI could easily replace me if all someone wants is “good enough”.
People tell me the reason choose me over other interpreters and AI is because they want more than “good enough” and want someone with a good reputation and easy to get along with.
Thanks again for your insight!

Do you think it’s too late for someone like me in my 40s to start learning the skills to land a job in your field? I don’t need the job, but it would be cool ass skill to have and maybe have as a back up job option.
Yeah my job is translating FDA announements for Japanese clients and I see recalls for US products quite often, so I had to text my family in Canada to make sure they aren’t buying such products. I guess that won’t be necessary though, because my family isn’t buying any US trash anymore.
