ha ha-- that's a guaranteed no on the employment front i think. really, nobody cares about degrees maybe except for doctors.
what you probably need is a good online portfolio, recommendations from clients, a nice website, and some kickass business cards. in other words, spend some time & money marketing yourself. then there's the going with the clients for a drink & shit of that sort, but that can be annoying...
what languages do you translate and where do you live?
