Future job

I the future I would like to be a translator, but not the one who spends all their life in front of the computer and translates hundreds of pages. I need to contact other people to feel good. I discovered that I could not work as a closed-at-home-translator when I accepted a job offered to me by my boss when I was doing an internship at the Italian translation and localization office in Bologna. When I worked there, among different people, I felt really well. But when I started to work here, in Poznań, via Internet, it was a disaster. I was feeling like a prisoner, chained to the laptop, alienated and sad. This experience helped me to make some important decisions: I want to work with people, I want to translate, but there must be a balance.

I think that the best work would be if I could translate some documents, books and so on, but also meet clients, talk to the people, have a trip sometimes. I have made sure that it is a good choice also since I teach Italian:  it is really great to see the people’s reaction, to talk to them, even to talk about something that completely departs from the subject.

So, balance, balance, balance. This is the answer.
