Crucial question: is it worth doing an MA in Conf. Interp. and Translation (Bradford or Edimburgh) in English-French ? I imagine that the market is saturated with that combination and it'd set me back £10K, hence my hesitation.

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.
