I have been working as a freelance translator for a while. Lo más difícil de llevar es la incertidumbre de tener o no tener clientes solicitando tus servicios.Hay miles de traductores que necesitan compaginar su profesion con otros trabajos.
Admiro a los que viven exclusivamente de la profesión de traductor.

I did not know this, thanks for bringing it to my attention. Actually I think event I mentioned in my post is actually run by the National Network for Translation, and I believe London Met is simply being used as venue for hosting it. I support the action but I hope the situation doesn’t mean anyone misses out on a chance to learn about a career in translation at this event.

Did you know that London Metropolitan University is currently subject to greylisting (boycott) because of the way it has dismissed staff and because it is threatening to cut hundreds more? Many language staff are included in this. for more information see http://www.ucu.org.uk/index.cfm?articleid=3680 or http://www.lmuucu.devisland.net/
