Sounds like your friend is either looking for the path of least resistance to earning a Master's (since she is a native Spanish speaker) or truly wants to follow this line of work as an interpreter. With her Master's she can likely find work in the federal government; Department of Homeland Security, Immigration, IRS, or even the military as an Intel officer.
