Chinese is definitely need for hunting job in Taiwan. If you are not good at speaking in Mandarin, I will suggest you to attend the Chinese lesson in the University at Taipei at least for two years....or perhaps you can find the part-time job in the restaurantss here..The other way is ask the staffs from the university or any international students, they may give you some good direction to look for a job here...Anyway, Good luck!

I'm studying abroad at NTU in Taipei, Taiwan next semester. Where are fun places to go to drink and hang out?
I was wondering where cool places to go might be in Taipei for a 20 year old college student? Cool bars, clubs, hangouts, restaurants, beaches, etc.

Check out taiwannights.com for better information on the area you are in. Taiwanfun.com also is a good source but is more focused on tea houses and restaurants. Taipei has a reasonable beach area on the NW coast called BaiShaWan beach, it is ok. Most Taiwanese won't go in the water past chest height. The good news is, more and more of the youth here are learning swimming as part of their school program, and more and more younger Taiwanese women are wearing bikinis. This is a good thing for you. It presents good eye candy for me, but my wife may have issues with that. There are a few weird rules about wearing dumb swim caps in swimming pools but at beaches you dont need to worry about that. Kenting has great pubs and beaches. Ilan also has some ok beaches. If you can get out to Penghu the beaches and windsurfing are best there. Taichung has no beaches. :( But lots of restaurants, but the bar scene has basically died here for some reason in the past few years from all I have gathered, but I am married now and basically a non-drinker, so I wouldn't be a good source really for that. Tea houses are ok, but you probably wont be likely to pick anyone up there... however Taiwanese women are generally quite friendly and always are willing to try to practice their English with good looking foreign men... as long as you respect them.

I'm a student here too. CLUBS: Roxy 99 by Shida is where lots of foreign students go to get 2 free beers on Wednesday nights. Wax on Rosevelt Rd and Heping E. Rd also has unlimited drinks for an entrance fee on Wednesday night. Wednesday is Lady's night at Luxy on Zhongxiao E. Rd. Brass Monkey, Room 18, Lava, Spark are some other good places to go. Most clubs don't open Sunday to Tuesday. RESTUARANTS: Din Tai Fung - famous for their pork dumplings, tourists love it. Night Markets have awesome eats. Try Shilin (the biggest). BEACHES: Kenting - But you'll have to take a train. It's more of a vacation trip.

Can I get a translator job in America?

Can I get a translator job in America?
I'm a senior college student from Taiwan, my major is Russian language. I've learned Russian for 4 years & also English for over 10 years. After graduation, I plan to get a master degree from school for translators and interpreters in America. Just wondering if I can get a good job as a translator over there, either Russian-English or Chinese-English is okay. Anyone can help me?

Overall, I believe that is very difficult to get a good paying job as a translator. You have to remember that this is America and that means that there are millions of people who speak many languages and demand may not be very high. In the business world you might be able to get a job where your languages might be needed from time to time. A good paying job with a corporation as an official company translator might be a great job opportunity for you. You might also consider working for a University or a Hospital. Most translating jobs in America are "on call" basis and pay only by the hour. These jobs do pay well, but are not a good source of constant income and sometimes are considered part time employment. Take a peek at the following job search webpages and search for language translation jobs

Yes you can. One place to start is in the court system. There are many different languages being spoke by people in the courtroom all the time. Those people need translators and the court system is hiring. I don't know how it pays, but if you are looking for a job, you might want to try there first and then you can look for something else if you don't like that.

Dude, to tell you, it's not worth your time to get a master's degree just so you can translate. I have relatives who only have a HS diploma, some even none, went into the translating business. It's not such a high paying job either.

If you know what you want to major in, look for schools with good programs for that. Then look online at their website for the requirements.

You have a competitive chance at getting in to some prestigious schools... Brown, Columbia, Johns Hopkins, etc. Your writing is a bit low, but it's still ok. How's ur GPA? are those ur only extra curriculars? are u applying from Taiwan or from the states? How's ur TOEFL score? what do u want to study?
