Not at all a mislead Doug, thanks for the useful information!!! I'll be visiting some friends in Venice and Long Beach so I have a journey of my own! Very excited, and only hope for the best on my way. I'll Def keep in touch, have a safe trip home, and I will comment soon!
Thank for the response! So when you said that you helped your friends become employed were you there for the interviews, or how did you play a role? I would hope that what I do is in the employment industry, but right now I am not sure if it is the best decision. Being that over half of the people in my household have struggled with unemployment as your wife. Thats an unfortunate situation to hear about, and I wish great luck to you two. Today will be a day full of sign language for me! I will be working with the Lou Fant Sign Language Phrase book and the Signing Naturally Level 2, and 3 Have a beautiful day Doug
Great! well I have so far gained a great deal from this web page already. During my semester.cI am getting to meet and share special websites with others from my region!!! I will be pushing to increase the network of interpreters on this site so i am pretty excited about that as well. Do you have experience with looking into Deaf Employment opportunities???
Welcome! Join a group, start a group, post an upcoming event in your area, start your very own blog... share your knowledge, experience and opinion with other interpreters. Thanks for being a part of TerpLink.

I would like to add that I just found out that an unknown and unnamed blogger has plagiarized large sections of my writing without attribution. I am neither that blogger myself and I do not condone their actions.
