i'm a terp and have a deaf brother, so i can really understand the need for professionalism within the interpreting field. the fact is most of the interpreters i meet i consider signers. as you know there is a big big difference. anyone can do their homework in an ITP and get a degree. until ITP's graduate students based on skill instead of course work the field will never improve. i learned from the deaf community and hands on experience, but i would be willing to go back to school to get an intepreting degree. wait i'm already certified, why bother. just kiddin, good luck and weed out those "so called interpreters."
one more thing, who said "fire them on the spot." does that mean if i am intepreting on a cruise for you and let's say for example i sign incorrectly you would make me swim to shore. man this is a tough crowd. hey, just joking trying to lighten things up a bit. i fully understand everyone's position. good luck and god bless.
