Interpreting and translating

I've been talking to my grandma about interpreting or translating and she said that simultaneous interpreting is a very stressful career because you have to listen to what someone is saying, understand it thoroughly and formulate that in the 2nd language while saying what the person had said 5-10 seconds previously!!

Translating would be with written material, so less stress but you'd have to have a broad knowledge of both cultures.

I don't know if I would be able to do either to be honest, but I feel like I should try!

Who knows.. by the time I can even think about getting a job, they might have amazing machines everywhere that translate simultaneously... or robots.
Imagine if we just had robots and machines for everything! No more jobs for the humans.. apart from the people who invent/make/repair the robots I guess O_o

I could just busk in the streets, and use my languages for songwriting :P
