Nickname: Upbeat

Review: Rates and income opportunities vary widely. Court and hospital interpreters may make as little as $20/hour, but conference interpreters can earn between $650 and $1,000/day. In the US/Canada, the rate charged for life sciences-related projects, for instance, is typically $.13-25/word. With an average output of 1,500/3,000 w./day, prospects in this field of activity are far from hopeless, especially when you can hardly meet the demand for quality services.
