Today I realized that I really miss my very first career which was that of a translator. Translation is great for the following reasons:
- you don’t need to interact with people;
- you can spend all day in complete silence;
- every word brings you money, so you can feel like you are creating money by the minute;
- it requires a high degree of concentration which makes it akin to a video game in its potential of restoring one’s psychological health;
- very little thinking is required;
- it’s very peaceful;
- I’m very good at it.
And now I need to go translate some more.

This is really interesting. I think I would love it for a while, but would get tired of it and want to do something else.

I think I couldn’t do it forever either. Teaching and research are still better for me. 🙂
