A 1 year certified interpreter can make $50 per hour full time. Interpreters make as low as $10 per hour to as high as $150 per hour. It depends on your skills, certification level, where you live, and the demand for interpreters in you area. If you live in a area where the demand is high you are more likely to make more money because people are willing to pay more for your services. Conversely a low demand for interpreters and where the are too many interpreters you are very likely not to make as much. Your reputation will affect how much you work. If you are not as skilled or have too many complaints against you you are less likely to work as much as other interpreters. Being involved in the deaf and hard of hearing communities will help expand your skillbase as you get to see how they sign differently and how they react. Knowing about and understanding their culture will be a big help. Get yourself out there explore the community its not as hard as everyone makes it.

How much education must a sign language interpreter have?

The amount of education that a sign language interpreter must have depends on what kind of interpreter you want to become. It used to be that all you needed to become an interpreter was the knowledge of sign language and whatever language you were interpreting it to or from. Because of the deaf community pushing for better qualified interpreters, most states now require interpreters to pass a state or national test. Most of these tests require both a written as well as a performance test of some kind. While it is not yet required in most states to have any formal education in sign language, most interpreters have at least an associates degree from an interpreter training program. These programs train its interpreters in much more than just how to sign. Students learn how to process information, how to handle themselves in different settings, and the code of ethics that interpreters are required to follow. In recent years some colleges are now offering bachelors degrees in American Sign Language Interpreting. I suspect that eventually some type of college degree will be required to work as a sign language interpreter.
