A sign language interpreter converts spoken language into sign language. An interpreter may work for schools, hospitals or government agencies. Strong skills in both English and sign language are needed for a career as an interpreter, and degree programs in American Sign Language (ASL) and sign language interpreting are available. Fields like communications or English are also good choices. Interpreters typically need a bachelor's degree, though some associate-level programs are also offered. Professional certification is available, though voluntary.
