Day 7: If You Can Dream It, You Can Do It.

So day 7 asks what my dream job is and why.

I have a few different scenarios laid out. My number one dream job is to interpret for the United Nations. This will take having a masters degree in at least one of the languages I'd want to interpret and eight years of experience (with at least three in the UN itself, I believe). So that's a pretty far off dream, I'll get a different career in the meantime. Why do I want to do this? I believe in promoting peace. I also strongly believe that without a complete understanding of the language in which you are being spoken to, mistakes can be made easily. Countries have gone to war over smaller things than a misinterpretation of a sentence or even a word and I firmly believe that all interpreters have the most important jobs in the UN. One mistake, and different countries could go to war when there really is no rhyme or reason. It's a lot of pressure, I guess, but I'm great with languages and I love learning them!

My dream job until I can get my necessary degrees and experience is probably going to be interpreting for companies, the government, or just tours somewhere. I don't know exactly what I want to do, all I know is that this is what I love and this is what I want to do. :)
