Answer 1

There is a national assocaition of interpreters. http://www.rid.org/ They would have more information. I have looked into it myself because I too am fluent in ASL. Not because anyone in my family is deaf, just because I have had an interest in it since I was little.

In the schools, they make the same amount as a teacher assistant.  You should look into certification through one of the community colleges that offer it.
