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.
