hi,

that's how it should be.
it seems blind people are always looking for a loop hole.
we want special schedule appointments for fed/state jobs but the necessary
education should be on somebody elses dime.

I myself have been very lucky, in Texas the state waives tuitiona nd fees to
state colleges, but now that I am trying to get into law school it seems
they are not going to do it for graduate school/law school like they did for
my Bachelors even though there is nothing in the legislation about what
level of post secondary education they are supposed to cover, simply that
they are supposed to cover it for blind individuals. If I  can not get them
to waive my tution and fees I am going to ahve no other choice but tio take
out loans after I apply for every scholarship possible taht is.
