Here is a tasty meme my friend sent me... pls discuss

To sign or not to sign [I hate Shakespeare]

Yes, I love Sign Language. No, I was not thinking of going into it as a profession. I'm pretty good at the memorizing, but I'm total shit at finger spelling. Yes, the idea was that I would be an editor or at least work for a publishing house somewhere. Yes, it had occurred to me that there are a lot of people in professions like that out of a job. There are also many, many other people out of a job. Maybe I will be, but I believe I have as great a shot as anyone else at it. I mean, I've wanted it for years. Yes, I know my brother went to school for something that he paid thousands of dollars for and he can't utilize that now in what he does, but he still loves it. It might not have been his best idea, but he strove to do something he loved [and still loves] and I admire the hell out of that.

Thanks for being supportive and telling me that you "honestly don't think I'll make it." And honestly, what do you know about the job market for interpreters? What do you even know about the job market for editors?

I'll be whatever I want to be, thanks very much. Now where's my fucking cat suit?
