Deciding whether or not to enroll in advanced medical interpreter training is a big decision. If this is one you're faced with, then you've already made quite a few others before...deciding to change your career, going back to school, and choosing to specialize in medical interpreting. When you are younger, it's easier to start over and do so multiple times. As an adult, you have responsibilities and people depending on you for their livelihood because it isn't just you anymore. Now, you might have a few kids, a spouse, and even elder family members relying on you for their wellbeing. You're most likely either paying a mortgage or rent on top of utilities, food and other necessary bills that aren't cheap in an economy where prices are through the roof and all during the holiday season. This simple fact of life makes it more difficult for adults to make changes because people don't stop needing food or a warm place to sleep at night regardless of hardships.
