If anyone knows how long the reader yeah lasts I'd like to know that too. I can't afford to download both. I wish there was some financial help to get some of these apps. Then I could put all my money towards conventions.

>> I am a Commissioner for my state agency.  You only need a college degree, BS or BA, to be hired.  A Master's degree will advance you on the pay scale, but isn't required.  The degree does not have to be in rehabilitation.  Once hired our agency provides the specific blindness training needed by all staff.  This means that your first several months with our agency will be spent 100% on training.

>> It sounds like your questions are almost too general to answer.  Decide on a blindness field you wish to enter.  Most require a Masters degree, depending the location.

>> Dear friends,

>>   This may be a question who’s answer is too involved for the general list, but if someone would like to assist me off line, please feel free!
>> jameskelm at earthlink.net  I would love to hear from someone from an agency, or other type of professional that works with this issue regularly.

>>   I will soon be attaining my Masters degree, and once that course of study is finished, I am looking toward other areas in which I can gain further employability for myself.  I have heard that a number of agencies, including some within my own state, are looking for a number of certified instructors.  From what I have gathered, mobility instructors, Braille instructors, and others are needed.  My question is two fold.

>>   Firstly, what are some of the certifications that I could consider, that are commonly most needed within the field of rehabilitation for the blind?
