I gave blood this morning, and as I was chatting with the woman doing my health history, I mentioned that I was possibly interested in becoming a medical interpreter, and she practically shouted, "Oh my god, we need people like you! And we are going to more and more."
And then I picked up a brochure about volunteering at the Red Cross headquarters in Portland and saw that they are recruiting Spanish interpreters. That could be a cool opportunity, if it fits with my schedule.
I have been thinking about it for awhile anyway. Being a translator/interpreter of some kind is the other big possibility in my brain at the moment aside from teaching.
