讀英文系的出路?

just wanna tell you that the government had stopped employing court interpreter years ago. simply because there are more than enough. so if you aim at being a court interpreter in HK, well, try to pray or give it up directly. moreover, from my own experience, for hiring an interpreter, companies usually prefer those ABC or who has overseas study experience more than local fresh graduate. even you are a translation major graduate.

Yes, you can be a translator if you are good enough. Furthermore, you can also be a secretary in MNC.

A secretary / executive assistant who can speak both English and Mandarin is mostly welcomed by those Finance instituions and companies. My friend is getting more than 30k/month.
