[Ag-eq] Do I fight or just find some other way

[barbandzoe at comcast.net]

Hi nella,  I go to Argosy Twin Cities.  They have a resource office, but the only blind people that have gone though the school didn't tak e anything that had a lab in it.  So I am knew grownd for them.  



I have looked through the N F B and can't find no one.  I need to f ind some one that does lab work.  that is the hard part.  There are a lot of little insterments that I can not make bigger, or put a magnifying glass on it.  



As far as what I want to do, I can not put a name to a job. It could be a vet assistant, or kennal help, but I want to be in contact with animals every day if possable. I would like to help stray cats I would like to teach people how to care for there pets  I would like to help and or work with wild cats.   Where I used to work people knew that I was up on the latest thing and how to care for pets.  So I would get questions quite often. 

I wouldn't mind working on a farm, and raising animals. 

Rabbets are a lot of fun to. 



So how a degree will or will not help I don't know.  I just thought it would make people take me seriously and not just the blind girl who loves animals.

Barb: 

What school do you go to? 

What types of jobs would you like to have with animals? 

Does your school have a disabilities resource center? 

Maybe you could check out the NFB mentor program to see if there is anyone 
who is a vet tech.  They could give you ideas on how to accomplish different 
parts of the program.  The American Foundation for the Blind also has a 
mentor program.  The website is www.AFB.org 

Good luck.
