Agreed. And I would say that the utility of braille should not be underestimated. As with anything else, even if you can do your job without it, you might find that you do your job better with it.

To be clear, I'm not saying you can't or shouldn't use braille, for a moment. I just wanted to make the point that someone should not be put off the profession because they have no braille skills.
