Subject: plans Author: Kate [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 15:41:56 05/27/03 Tue Hey there. I'm not sure how many of you are still looking in on this page. I'm only now checking it after about 4 weeks. OUCH! Well, I'm currently doing research for my future plans. I will fight fire again this summer. As far as my interpreting plans go that is still up in the air. I think that I could really get my foot in the door in Nevada. Sharon and I were discussing ideas. She really can motivate me. I've been thinking about the stipend and our requirements that need to be fulfilled. It looks like that will dictate my plans for the first couple years. I think it will be a good experience and help to prepare me for RID. I plan to take the state licensure test in Nevada on June 28th. It will be good practice for the RID and it is required to be an ed interpreter in Nevada. Nevada is really quite a step behind. I would really like to take things to a new level in Nevada. It will be slow but I can fore see amazing progress. Then again I'm not sure I want to end up in Nevada. Interpreting in Portland is to competitive without certification. Idaho is also a possibility. Really I'm willing to go anywhere as long as it will meet the requirements for the stipend contract. Another avenue is grad school. Really I'm tired of school so I won't go this first year but I'm researching some schools in the east. Columbia University, Gallaudet, University of California, San Diego are just a few. They are mostly Deaf Ed programs, blah, but I think having the masters will aid in future sucesses. Deafdigest.com lists jobs around the US and most require a MA. I thought that was interesting. It's great to hear that some of you have already got job offers and, well, jobs. Not to shabby. It gives me hope. Well, I can't wait till graduation. We can all swap stories and experiences. Until then I would love to hear your experiences so far. I'm waiting... :) [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
