Writer, poet, and tutor. And I will keep all of them, although the language service has top priority.

Yes, but I do not need it, but it may be useful for me inthe future.

I'm a combination of don't need one, but I'd like one.
I've always liked to keep my fingers in as many pies as possible and something non-language related sounds tempting. Now if I only knew what it was!

I used to teach at my university but I quit when I left grad school.

I'd like to keep as many fingers in as many pies. So I make extra efforts to cultivate new customers who, hopefully, pay better just in case my regular customers disappear or some areas of the translation market cave in. 
And like, Enrico
I'd love to teach a J>E technical translation course at my old college, SOAS, London while doing an M.A. But that is yet another pipe dream ....

But actually my secondary job is probably 'domestic engineer' aka mother and housewife!

I do, but I'm not working in it at the moment and it is something that I dream of being able to do again but as an owner of my own business and not working for others.

My answer is no, but maybe would be a good idea, because I have not enough work in translation. But if I have another job, I think could not manage to be ready for the dead lines.

I suppose I could always go back and work in a research laboratory, splicing genes and purifying proteins but I THINK I am happier translating and interpreting...

| No, not any more | May 14, 2013 |
I have worked in administration and as an English teacher, but translation is much more satisfying for me and I don't think I want to go back.
| | | |
I have a long and checkered career behind me of varied and more or less stopgap jobs.
I am in the lucky position of not needing another profession - I could never realistically go back to any of the others.
When I do stop translating or wind down, I will be able to retire with a pension, although it will be a better one if I wait a few years.

I don't need one, but I'd love to sing in a professional choir.

Yes, I also own a bakery, a building company and a ballet school!
