How much do Sign Lanuage Interpreters make? Through my personal experience and some *actual* extensive research, I share with you my findings on how much American Sign Language Interpreters make in Oklahoma and other states across the United States. There are many different jobs and regions that an ASL interpreter can work in. Between that and the region you live and work in, the salary for an Interpreter can vary vastly. However, in this video I gave several examples of how much an interpreter can make as well as what one can expect to make in different parts of the country.

Thank you for the breakdown! I’m currently working on my ASL interpreting major, but now I know what to look into in addition to that 😊

@LearnHowtoSign 11 месяцев назад

You're so welcome!

Rates have increased significantly for me since 2020 but it is important to note that low cost of living areas pay less whereas high cost of living areas pay more, even if they are in the same region such as SF compared to Fresno . Pay ranges vary greatly by geography, so here’s a rough breakdown. All opinions are my own and exactly that -“opinions”. Coastal = highest pay Midwest = lowest pay Mountain = medium pay Southwest = medium pay Southeast = variable pay Cities with highest rates SF, NYC, DC, LA, SD, Boston, Miami, Seattle Cities with lowest rates: mid sized midwestern cities. Also, only the Bible Belt pays time and a half for weekends and nights. Other areas Pay about 10-20% more for those hours.

Thank you, I'm starting my college major in ASL at the end of the month, and this was helpful to know for the future :)

@rightatego6445 11 месяцев назад

I love your videos me and my daughter (6) do them together. Today I was looking up other free resources for ASL and your channel showed as a top choice for beginning students.

Thank you for doing this video! Future ASL interpreter!

@catherinealvino9493 11 месяцев назад

i’m currently learning asl and really wanted to know how all of this worked! i’m hoping if i keep it up that i can do this on a cruise ship!

@LearnHowtoSign 11 месяцев назад

Cruise ship interpreting would be fun. I do know there are Deaf cruises that are offered periodically.

@wendygood200 11 месяцев назад

@shalacarter6658 11 месяцев назад

Hi and thank you for this video. My daughter wants to become an interpreter. The problem is that our local tech college which teaches ASL does not have a degree program. She is looking into what she has to do; but it seems that she will have to travel 60 miles one-way to get to a place that has ASL as credit. What would you suggest she get a Bachelors in? I think it would be good for her to work in a school since she already has been working as a Para and has retirement paid in. Blessings!

@badkawaiikitty 2 месяца назад

Wow, that's wow...I didn't know how niche the field really was....yeah instead of getting a degree. I'll just stick with this for fun & friends.

@scottbrockman5883 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for this video on RU-vid of how much do ASL interpreters make. It's kind of frustrating if you're not good at math or keeping track of how much money you keep in the bank. My only question is not only how much they take out in taxes, but if ASL interpreters are working, how about other benefits like health insurance? Do they get a Yearly Bonus around Thanksgiving or Christmas? Aside from that, I'm still learning ASL, I'm not an expert at ASL, but whatever it is that I'm signing in ASL, it'll come back to me, and it's using ASL in a complete sentence and using the right emotions and knowing if I'm talking or yelling or singing to someone in ASL 🙂👍🙏💒🎄🙌.

@gardeniagirl1374 11 месяцев назад

Hello Meredith, Do the hours and the certificate from your LHTS Accelerated course count toward interpreting hours / experience in California?

@LearnHowtoSign 11 месяцев назад

Unfortunately, I don't know the requirements in California but I could guess our courses wouldn't count toward interpreting hours but could maybe be approved for lab hours if that is something that is required. Our certifications are given upon completion and are not affiliated with any education system.

@Ryuukotsusei 11 месяцев назад

My GF works in California (she moved out here in large part to be closer to me) for the last three months and is she has been waiting eight months for her results for the national test. She works for Sorensons (spelling). She’s making over forty an hour after like five years in her field and without her national cert (she likely will get it on this test). Just to give you an idea on California rates

@itsfrankieg5816 Месяц назад

@@Ryuukotsusei interesting, good for her! What does your girlfriend do for her job? I’m looking to get into this field but not sure where to start

@Ryuukotsusei Месяц назад

@@itsfrankieg5816 in about ten days she’ll be my wife. She does both VRS -Video relay which can be done remotely with enough experience, and community interpretation. She has a speciality which also has gotten her travel trips as well. She loves her job, but it’s very physically taxing so she works just short of full time so she can flex her schedule however see likes

@JoeRocket-sf6qs 11 месяцев назад

My 8 year olds going back to school with no asl teacher,the education system has failed miserably.

@gardeniagirl1374 11 месяцев назад

If you ask the school for accommodations, then they must provide it. Federal law. Speak to the office staff, the doctor, etc and do not accept no. Persevere until someone will help. Federal law.

@LearnHowtoSign 11 месяцев назад

If it is in your child's IEP then services must be met. Don't let them say they can't find one. There are services out there that can offer interpreting remotely if you don't have qualified interpreters in your area. Check out Vocovision.

@barrysmith8193 2 месяца назад

Are interpreters considered contractors then and receive a 1099 from each place that they work? If you have an assigned place(room) in your residence the tax code provides for a benefit for that. Being self employed has its benefit and drawbacks to. As a sole proprietor ( a company of 1) you fall under specific benefits for deductions as long as you are aware of the correct ones. The business of the business of interpreting is more important than the actual interpreting. Recognizing this as you venture in to the world of public service and you will not be at the mercy of others interpretative what you should be paid. You are being paid for value. Nothing less.

@shaunnapeterson843 11 месяцев назад

These figures are substantially low!! I'm an ASL Interpreter for 36 years and have never made $37.00 an hour in my whole career. Most certified Interpreters are earning $45-85 an hour. Freelancer rates include a 2 hour minimum. Be aware most owe a lot of backed taxes because they don't file correctly. College work is iffy. If the student drops you lose that gig and some cap you at a max of 30 hours a week..if you're lucky. Video relay work pays the highest and also provides benefits..many making close to $100,000 a year if you find the right company. Each state differs..so move to a metro area with a high Deaf population for more leverage. I'd never accept those horrendous Oklahoma rates.. Get certified and join the team
