Any college/university students here?

I guess there is no equivalent in English speaking countries, but I study what in Portuguese we call "Letras" (letters, in English), which combines the study of linguistics, literature and culture, in my case, focused in German language (which I'm learning) and culture. I intend to become a professional translator, hoping that the demand for german-speaking professionals in Brazil free me from the terrible fate of becoming a poorly paid, greatly unvalued languages teacher.

I already translate some things from English to Portuguese, btw.
