Hello
I need an advice please.
I'm 45 years old I was an interpreter for the U.S military I was engaged with military training, civil affairs, detention centers, investments and social work in Iraq.
Before that I was a sales man.
I have associate degree in electricity and after coming to the U.S I worked as a security officer, Car sales, medical interpreter, and now I'm a rideshare driver.
What's the best paying job that fits my skills set in your opinion? Can I make 6 digits or not?
Thank you.

Become a court interpreter or work for an immigration law firm using your language skillset. Court translators can make almost as much as attorneys (the hourly rate of the ones I previously worked with when paid by the state was $150 or $200/hr.)
There's usually a written exam you have to take for that language to make sure you're fluent enough to do legal translations which requires a higher language level.

The exam should be through the court system, not sure what dshs has to do with it.
Here's how the process works to be a translator for Federal court:

Idk if it’s due to Covid, Seattle freeze, a combination of the two or other factors. Any transplants out there who are NOT the outdoorsy type and feel the same? And if so, how did you get past it?
