Hi Jay,

That's not fair and I see that Ann suggested it might not be the
same kind of fee in every state...it would be like the A.M.A.
making it so hard to get into Med. school artificially keeping the
number of Doctors being trained limited...it probably WILL limit
the number of licensed interpreters being turned out and thus
available.  I wonder if something can be done about this?  Sounds
like the qualifying test is hard enough...I can understand a fee,
but THAT'S ridiculous...and imagine a re-take--$1000 altogether!
Insane!

I wonder if you're near enough to another state that your daughter
could take the test there...have no idea where your from...only
that you lived in NY at one time...perhaps that would be a way for
her for now, although it SHOULD be changed...the fee that is.
