What do I major in to become a translator/interpreter?

I am a junior in high school at the moment. I am currently learning Korean, Japanese, Thai, Tagalog, Chinese, Spanish, Greek, German, French, Portuguese and Italian. As you can see I love learning new languages. My counselor at school was talking to all the juniors the other day and told us it's best that we start thinking about what we want to do after we graduate now.

What I am wondering is what would I major in to become a translator/interpreter?

Also, I would like to go to college somewhere in either South Korea or Japan. Where online would I start looking for colleges in those places?What do I major in to become a translator/interpreter?
wow,you're learning too many languages. i agree with the other answers, i think you assess on what language you would want to focus. linguistics would be a very good major, it was also my dream to study languages,however when i saw the curriculum for linguistics, most of them are subjects that focuses on how the language was formed which was too boring for me.



if you would like to study in South Korea there are a handful of good schools in there,the top schools i know of are yonsei university, seoul national university and korea university. all of them has english websites that you can googleWhat do I major in to become a translator/interpreter?
focus on one or two languages, French or Spanish or Mandarin are spoken more widely than the others. You can major in a language or u could major in Linguistics.

You could study french and spanish then work for tour companies that deal with a lot of international torists

You are learning too many languages now to ever get really good at any of them. You need to concentrate your attention on one or two before you move on to the next. A translator or interpreter needs to have a deep, not shallow, understanding of one or at most two extra languages in order to master the skills you will need. Professional translating is nowhere near as easy as the uninitiated tend to assume. Major in one of your languages, but you will also need a lot of translation coursework in fields you expect to specialize in, such as law, medicine, business, finance, technology, etc. I assume you are in the US, and as a high school junior it is a little late to start looking for colleges in South Korea or Japan. Maybe you can do graduate work there after completing a degree here or in Canada. Canada has much better translation studies programs than we do here.
