Anyone here who has studied linguistics and/or worked as a translator? I've been studying (or rather trying to study) Political Science for more than three years now without considerable success, and my interest in the field is quickly fading. I've also come to realize that I'm probably too much of a recluse type person to actually have a career that has anything to do with politics or administration, and I'm very poor at getting things done anyway (which has also contributed to my difficulties). I'm fascinated by languages, though, and I think I've studied something like 8 different foreign languages in connection with my studies or in my spare time at one point or another. I think you may call me slightly autistic if you like. So I'm thinking of defecting to the Faculty of Arts where I would specialize in some foreign language.
So do you think that a career as a translator could be a wise choice in today's world? Any experiences? What language(s) should I specialize in in case I decide to switch careers?
