I have chosen translation as a major for different reasons. Firstly, I have a personal interest in languages: I speak French, German, English, Arabic and now I am learning Spanish. Each language has its own magic and beauty and by learning a new language, you can mentally travel to different countries and discover new cultures and life styles.
Secondly, this major gives you the opportunity to play a key roll in all areas. World nowadays is connected through globalization. Therefore, communicating with foreign people has become a most for development, but not everyone has the time and the ability to learn a new language, which requires the presence of a translator.
Thirdly, one of the major benefits of being a translator is that it offers many opportunities for those who like to work independently. for example: you can take on freelance or agency work as I am doing now.
You are totally right! I always thought that languages are the key to the world.
