So we’ve established you probably wouldn’t like to be a game tester anymore, it’s time to look for a new dream job. What else could you do? How about manga translator? Oh but that must be a lot of work huh? A day like that probably sucks as well. Let’s see, PingMag has an interview with Simona Pini, a manga and anime translator, where she shares her experiences in the job, such as:
Lets get a bit practical: What would be a typical day for a manga translator?
Well, usually I wake up at 4 in the afternoon, turn on my computer, read my mail – and get lost on the internet. I read the Panini forum because I like to read what our readers think, and I do Mixi. Eventually I start working until the morning
Oh wow, sweet deal! Sound’s like we’ve got ourselves a new dream job candidate huh? Better bust out those Japanese flashcards!

of course it’s not like working in a factory doing things you could care less about, but it is an 8 hour a day gig ;)
and often, one works in the weekends. but it’s fun.
And she even has time to check herself out in the internet!
