[humanser] questions about career paths

[Carly Mihalakis via humanser]

Good morning, Kelsey,

         I don't wanna just whore out my friend, Kelly's expertise, 
whom I know from the NFB's sportsandrec list, which you might wanna 
also join, but if memory serves, I know Kelly Thornbury is at least 
blind and a budding personal trainer. He may have answers to your 
inquiries about the discipline. If you make tuchee with him, be sure 
to say I don't mean to treat his expertise like some kina whore, of 
course, never to speak damaging-ly of suppliers of a sexual service 
like prostitution. !!!
Good luck, Kelsey, and join the sport's list!
for today, Car

Hello,
>I know some of you are also on the Young professionals list, so I 
>apologize for the repeat post.  I am a recent college graduate and 
>am trying to find a job, but it's tough.  Therefore, in a few years 
>once I've worked an entry level job a while, I might go back to 
>school.  I was considering education, but I have heard the job 
>market in this field is not good.  This is why I am considering a 
>career in a health field.  Two career choices I am considering are 
>speech therapy and sports medicine.  This includes fields such as 
>athletic training, nutrition counseling, and physical therapy as 
>well as physical therapy assisting.  I've been in contact with a 
>blind person who earned her bachelor's degree in speech pathology, 
>but what about the sports medicine fields? Could I, as a totally 
>blind person, for instance, practice physical therapy? I would think 
>that that field is more hands-on than speech therapy, is this true? 
>I we think it would be since you're assessing joint movement and 
>such, but I don't know too much about the sports medicine field.  Is

>physical therapy who could share your experiences? I'm just trying

>If you like, please feel free to email me offlist to share your experiences.
>Thanks,
