Yes, despite all the changes. Aug 31, 2014

Yes, despite all the changes(rate, outsourcing, in sourcing, CAT Tools, etc). I still remember memories when I was first a local specialist medical doctor but it was only because of my previous work as a translator/interpreter have I been able to work abroad as a expat with a multilingual team of an international organization(United Nations) for several years until my retirement.

As I entered the freelance translation world rather late in life, if I could do it all over again I would probably start at an younger age than I did but then again I wouldn’t have all the useful knowledge I had gleaned over the years…

All this. Except I'm not that old. I think. Sometimes.
