Is Interpretation/Translation a good career? How much does an Interpreter earn per hour or year generally?  

Is it having one mother language and a Second one enough? Or Is it better to have 2 second languages? Let's say from Spanish (mother language) to English?

What type of courses should a person take in University? How much years? In Canada, to be exact. What universities have this Options?

What should One expect? Realistic Aspects please.

As I understand, it is a VERY good career.  My mom says that the translator at her work (Target) gets paid very well.

As for the requirements and what would be best, talk to a teacher or counselor or someone else who is actually in that field of work.
