Q: So I'm still a teenager, I live somewhere in Europe, and I like languages. I want to be a translator in the future, but I'm having some doubts. I've read stuff over the Internet, and people who are already translators say that it's not necessary to study Translation Studies, and I have no friggin' clue about what to study.  I'm also researching the possibility of studying in Sweden, their universities are fairly cheap to Europeans and they're ranked as good universities. Swedish is a pretty easy language to learn speaking English, too.  Thing is, I'm again unsure whether studying Translation as a career is actually useful, I could start being a translator from age 18 and that'd be pretty good as well.  Do you have some advice for me?
A: sounds like you should start translating (being a translator, etc)
