I should think translator at the U.N.-Business translator between German and American companies (Daimler/Chrysler Corp..Volkswagen U.S./Audi U.S. or BMW U.S./U.K.)- Teach German and/or poli-sci in public or private schools. All of those are practical, and pay fairly well for starting salary.

Well, first off, I would assume these positions are only required during the period the games are underway.\n\n- The hosting nation would most likely be the employer. The amount needed would likely depend on the number of languages requiring translation, and in many cases, one would assume the member nations would have some of their own.\n\n- I also believe your chances would be greater if you spoke a less common language, but it never hurts to check.\n\nSince the next games are in China 2008, you could apply to become a volunteer. Hopefully you speak Mandarin or Cantonese....

Go to www.state.gov.  They have numerous internship programs (though they are extremely competitive) and will give you information on how to apply for and take the civil service and foreign service exams.  The more languages, the better off you are.  They need more people with Middle Eastern and Asian languages for their hot jobs right now.

Yes, you can get your job guaranteed in your contract.  But, if you dont pass the training for it, they can re-class you into whatever they need.\n\nDepending on what language, linguists can get stuck in some pretty bad situations. Arabic speakers are needed in Iraq, and they go on patrols and all kinds of nasty jobs because they are needed to talk to the locals.  You could also get stuck working in a prison working with interrogators with all kinds of nasty people.  Or, you could just be stuck at a desk translating papers and recordings all day.

An admirable goal.\n\nThe UN has many agencies that I'm sure would love to take some volunteer hours from you.  The one that comes right to mind is UNICEF.\n\nAlso check out the UN website.  There is probably a link to volunteer missions on there somewhere.\n\nGood luck!\nRXZ

Many colleges and universities offer interpreting programs (usually 2 years). However, just getting a degree does not make you an interpreter.  You will have to become certified to work as a professional interpreter. You can become certified through the RID (Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf). You have to go through a training program and then take the written and skills exams. \nIt is also suggested that you spend a lot of time in the Deaf community to help with learning the culture and language.

If there's a job opening for which you are qualified, you probably could, as long as you can get clearance to come into the United States.\n\nStart with the website below.  It lists all the jobs currently available at the UN.

yes english and spanish can get you a UN job. But French will give you advantage over spanish as it french is the second preferred language at UN!
