Crucial question: is it worth doing an MA in Conf. Interp. and Translation (Bradford or Edimburgh) in English-French ?

I'm in my early 40's, with a small family and I don't particularly want to spend all my time travelling around in Europe, 30-40 days a year would suit me fine.

Coloured market Dec 23, 2004

Thanks for your help. BTW, how would you define the 'coloured market'? And why is it impossible in theory, as you say, to work between 30 and 50 paid days a year ? That's all I would like to do as I have another occupation.
