Teaching of course. Not just teaching sign language but in teaching kids and adults who are hearing impaired. But yes, translating in any number of situations, not just as a primary job but as something on your resume that makes you even more desirable as a resource at any position.
If you actually become fluent (not just conversational but actually fluent), you can use ASL with any job. If you want to become a doctor… you could be a doctor that works with both Deaf and hearing clients. If you want to be a teacher, you can teach. If you want to work in a bank, you can do that too.
The Deaf community is very connected. If you are competent, culturally sensitive, and knowledgeable of the language… you will get Deaf clients.
