Simply_me, oh i know my abilities well enogh) yes, at first i thought of becoming a philologist because i love English and it's quite easy for me to deal with the language. i even entered a university still thinking that will fit best for me. but... there isn't much work neither for translaters nor interpreters in my town, so they most frequently become high-school English/French/Spanish/German teachers. i don't want to move to another town but i thought of moving to another country. in such case my education could be almost useless... who needs an English-Russian translator with a Ukrainean diploma, huh? that's it. i changed my mind and picked another chief subject.
i continue to upgrade my English level anyway. just in case.
Yes, I not bad speak in English, my sister studies in England, well I many times was in London, I will tell that it is a beautiful city, but for каждего the city native and beautiful, and consequently Russia forever
damascus, Well, I see. Yeah, it's a problem. My mom has the same now: she is an English teacher, but in the city, we live in, there is no job for her at all. And it's all sad, 'cause she has great wish to work, but doesn't have a chance... And you are quite right about translating. I'm trying to survive in the USA, having two jobs now. And the funniest thing is that my translator's job's called here "part-time"
