to become a translator on finishing~ 是什麼意思

Smith, whose only language was English until she was 21, decided to become a translator on finishing her English literature degree having notice the lack of English-Korean translators. I am not sure what "on" is supposed to mean in this sentence. It means she decided to become a translator after finishing hee English Literature degree?

That phrase indicates the timing and sequence of events. She first finished her degree then became a translator. However, the time between completion of her degree and deciding to become a translator is so close that the writer worded the sentence that way in the extract. I hope this helps?

She became a translator right after finishing her English literature degree.

"On finishing" can be "after finishing"
