Oh, first, it pays very well! And the Deaf Community really appreciate a great Interpreter. My boyfriend of 6 years, a Deaf man, had court and hospital visits. The Sign Language Interpreters made about $100 to $500 just for showing up.


Better yet, if you are bi-lingual in English, Spanish and ASL there are many companies, i.e. Purple Video calls that need your skills.


My boyfriend is from Guatamala; so when he calls his hearing mother in his country. The Interpreter speaks Spanish to his mother and signs in English to him on the video screen!


Thank you, we need more wonderful people like you.
