Hello there I'm from Indonesia, I'm about to enroll to an interpreting course in september. I'm wondering if i could apply to some interpreting agencies, companies, or even start my own interpreting services after i finished my course (Indonesian English).

Also i'm just 21 years old with no experience. anyone can suggest some ideas? because i hadn't found the local forums that touch upon the interpreting topics, most of them are only translations.
