I totally agree! Like the musicians of today, professional interpreters and translators are not only sorely under-appreciated, in terms of the effort and sweat that goes into creating our masterpieces on a daily basis, but also under-compensated as a rule. Obviously it is up to us to negotiate our own compensation, but too many agencies, and people generally, have little to no real appreciation for what we do.
Even still: I love my work!
