Abstract

Being an undergraduate of Translation and Interpreting Studies opens a wide field of career opportunities. Howe-ver, students often do not perceive this huge variety of job perspectives but tend to think they have only a little range to choose from. In this article we will examine the different career opportunities a Translation and Interpre-ting undergraduate has, taking into consideration the in-dications of 14 prestigious universities in Spain and Ger-many in this field. Moreover, we will take the professional development of the Game of Thrones character Missandei as an example as she is introduced in the series as an in-terpreter and has a meteoric career.

Description

Graduarse en los estudios de Traducción e Interpretación abre un gran abanico de posibilidades de empleo. Sin em-bargo, los egresados a menudo no perciben esta enorme va-riedad de perspectivas laborales, sino que tienden a pensar que sólo tienen pocas opciones entre las que elegir. En este artículo examinaremos las diferentes salidas profesionales que tiene la carrera universitaria de Traducción e Interpreta-ción teniendo en cuenta las indicaciones de 14 universidades prestigiosas en España y Alemania en este ámbito de estu-dios. Además, tomaremos como ejemplo el desarrollo profe-sional del personaje Missandei de Juego de Tronos, que entra en escena como intérprete y tiene una carrera meteórica.
