[humanser] Ideas for career opportunities.

[JD TOWNSEND]

Hello:

Court reporting is an exciting field.  Apparently those with this talent are 
also used to caption video, TV, and other media for the deaf.  There are 
several blind people in this field.  I was the psychotherapist for someone 
who left town in order to enter a training program.  I suggest that you find 
one on the NFB or AFB mentor lists and learn more about the profession.

>> Hi,
>> I am getting my BA in Linguistics. I don't know anyone other than my
>> professors and the grad students in the field who love it. I thought
>> it would be enjoyable and it has been, but not that much... My
>> favorite course I took was Psychology of Language. I thought about
>> being a SLP because I figured it would be more specific and more
>> hands-on. I am an active learner and so far I haven't found anything
>> that truly is activity related. I have taken 3 Speech & Hearing
>> Sciences courses thus far for te grad program, but I've gotten C's in
>> all of them... At least I think I will be getting a C in the one I am
>> taking now... I love helping people and I want a career doing exactly
>> that. I would love to give to those who have nothing from homes to
>> helping them rebuild their lives after traumatic/tragic situations. I
>> am a people oriented person and love to be around people. I love
>> working in an office setting, but at the same time I love to travel.
>> What kind of career combines all of these? I took the Strong Interest
>> Inventory and Myer's Briggs tests and I couldn't fully understand the
>> results and the person who went over them with me didn't really help.
>> I asked someone at the career counseling office at my University to
>> help me with my resume, and I got nowhere with that either... I don't
>> know where else to turn... I don't want to follow the crowd. Hence why
>> I chose fields that aren't (typical" for blind people to get into...
>> At least that I know of... I know of one Linguist and he is an awesome
>> person! I have learned that Linguistics... is full of research... I am
>> not one for research... I like learning new things, but I like to

>> Thank you for your help.

>> Hello all,
>>
>> I have posted to this list previously requesting Speech-Language

>> there? I am young, confused and unsure of exactly what I want to do
>> now that I am a month from graduation. I need help and I am reaching
>> out to my fellow blind citizens for help. Please let me know of any
>> information I can check out. I will keep looking at the AFB Career
>> connect as well as look into the different programs around my state.

>> I appreciate anyone's assistance and information.
