The most common one is working as an interpreter. You can work as an interpreter in school settings to help Deaf students in mainstream schools. You can also work in Deaf schools helping Deaf children learn sign language and English as well.
You could become a teacher helping kids to express themselves. It’s very rewarding
I’m actually digging a web comic at the moment, who’s creator is a priest for the deaf. That’s quite interesting in my opinion.
There are tons – from interpreter, to teacher in a school for the Deaf, to audiologist or speech pathology. You can also move to an area with a large Deaf population – like Rochester, N.Y., Sioux Falls, S.D., Los Angeles, Washington D.C., etc. – and work in a “regular” job that allows you to use your skills to interact with Deaf people. Places like Rochester always have a need for people in all jobs who can talk to Deaf clients/customers. There are jobs for signing counselors, doctors, salespeople, social service workers, cashiers, etc. Any job you can think of, being able to sign makes you more hirable. ASL is the third most-used language in the United States, and you’d be surprised how often knowing it will come in handy.
