That was actually my original career goal. I stopped because a Ph.d was going to involve taking on more debt than I was comfortable doing, the undergrad students at my teaching practicums rated me lowest in the department, and I sucked at the language fluency necessary for translation work, really putting a damper on my enthusiasm for a career in it.

The grand irony being, as a university security officer that only needs a diploma and a license to qualify for the job, I get union membership, and better pay and benefits than the adjunct instructors here.
