Yes, it can be very rewarding, because you are helping people to make themselves understood. It can also be a very stable career, depending on the languages in which you are fluent. The government is often seeking qualified translators, as is the military, and hospitals frequently need translators too. People who are fluent in Spanish, Chinese, Arabic, and Haitian Kreyol are often in demand these days, but you should find out which large immigrant populations there are in your area and see if there is a need for translators to help those people.

Job security for a translator would entail having a steady supply of documents to translate. Therefore, you would need to pick a language that is in high usage, such as Spanish or Arabic. You would also need to focus your job search on areas, such as international trade or politics, where there is a high need for material to be translated.
