Have you found speaking an additional language helpful in your career and in terms of financial earnings, or is it just something that causes you to have more unpaid tasks thrown your way?

I’ve seen way too many people get taken advantage of for being bilingual. Especially Latinos. My one colleague from years ago spoke perfect Spanish but refused to let anyone know because the company wouldn’t pay her for her translation abilities. I loved that she did that.

The latter. More tasks.

Nope, just means more unpaid work when I reveal I can do translations

My dad who lives in Asia just announced that he had a medical issue. I’m starting to enter the age where I’m going to take care of him financially. It’s a $2,000 hospital bill which in the US is nothing compared to what it represents there (which he can’t afford). He’s going to be fine! Just wanted to share with this group as many of you can understand what it feels like to support your parents when they’re old, not the other way around. I feel so blessed I can help him. 🙏🏽
