I am 28 years old. I live in Blackwood, NJ. I received my associated degree in Sign Language Interpretation at Camden County College. Right from there, I had a connect to an old friend that works at a prosecutors office in Camden, NJ. Going into college he let me know, " Once you graduate college, I'll hook you up, we NEED people that can sign! " Opportunity came knocking, and I opened the door. I make $75 an hour, and live very comfortably. To be a proficient ASL interpreter, I had to gain 75 credits minimum. I'll never forget that crazy course I had to take ASL Syntax and Grammar!! In the end, it all became worth it. I love my career, the money I make, and the people I work with. I'm glad I followed my dream from high school and stuck with it!

If a person with your background makes $75 dollars an hour, that turns out to $150,000 per year. Is this true? Can signers make that much? If so, "sign" me up!
