BUT you could also do some cleaning jobs like maid jobs at a hospital or a hotel type thing... other than that your options are pretty small..... edit: thats why i said IF you are getting paid it would be illigal. AND ive also learned in some cases they will not allow friends or family members to sign for the deaf party in public places. ive been in school for the interpreting classes since 06 so i do know the laws and just was commenting to warn you about it, and to simply suggest thta you go into that field. that is all well in reality its kind of illegal to be a sign langauge interpreter and be paid for it if you arent certified.....(that is IF you are getting paid for it) i would honestly recommend that you take real sign language classes and become certified. you already have experience in that area so you could probably test out of some of the beginner classes. that way you can get your experience....
