Hello, posted here for traffic. Any advice most welcome.
I'm mid to late 40s and have a degree in a language that is relatively unusual for Brits to learn. I am a native English speaker. Career has taken a back burner for last 15 years as I chose to work part-time due to kids. My current career does not use my language.
But am musing over what to do with my life now kids will be leaving home soon.
I'd love to use my language skills and love of this country, but not sure if a career change is feasible at my age, and I get the impression translating is bloody hard to get into especially as there are people who have this language as their native tongue living in the UK who speak beautiful English. I'd have to do a postgraduate course, which I'd need to fund too.
The reasons above are putting me off exploring this further.
If any if you have experience in this field or post grad study, any advice or anecdotes would be much appreciated. Thank you.
