Should I quit teaching for translating

I have been teaching for almost 5 years as a dispatch ALT and as an eikaiwa teacher for the same company. In my home country, I used to teach English and other languages as well. Teaching languages has been the only job I have ever done and I enjoy it. Now, as I’m 30 and have a family, I am contemplating switching jobs to something with a better career path.

I am fluent in English, Spanish, and German and also have the N1, so I am considering in becoming a translator, but I don’t know how should I start looking for jobs or even if the switch is worth it (I have seen job postings with very low pay).

Where do you recommend me to start? Or should I learn skills other than languages? I have little knowledge in logistics and administration, but no real experience.

Thank you for your time reading this post.
