1) Congratulations!!!
2) RIA Novosti use to employ native speakers. I don't know how they pay now, I think you could phone them and ask.
3) I would say that USD 4 for editing is not bad. :-( People are usually greedy (or stupid or both), most of them (employers) think that editing is the easiest thing here. :-(((

I did my first translation a few days after the child was born and am still translating a lot at home (the baby is 1 year and 4 months old now). Unfortunately, when she started to walk on her own, she learnt to switch the PC on and off and put in DVDs with her favourite movies. Good luck!

i will check out RIA Novosti, thanks! by the way, 4 dollars for editing is complete crap. i used to work for another company (who unfortunately i do not want to work for again) which gave me at least 6. you be careful with those low paying fools!
