new translator

Hello everyone, i am new to the forums. I just submitted an application to Trusted Translations Inc, i am wondering if any of you work for this company? I am still an undergraduate seeking a degree in economics, but am looking to get working experience in translation to apply for ATA membership. Although my main career focus is in finance, i would like to do some freelance translation. Anyone doing a similar thing? .. some advice?

thanks
Humberto
