[Job-Discussions] jobs that involve working with/on computers

[dan.tevelde at comcast.net]

Hello Madison,

 

I always hear the same thing from people. What they forget is that a
computer is one of many tools we use in our daily lives. I think what you
might ask yourself is what work would you like to do and what skills do you
have. If you find something interesting, determine if you have the skills to
do that job. If not, investigate where you can get training. You might open
a case with your state's rehabilitation agency. If you are a student,
contact your school's student services office and see if they offer career
counseling. It's also a good idea to network with other blind people who are
either working or looking for jobs themselves.

Hi all,

My dad is forever saying how I'm so good with computers (really I think he
says that because he isn't) even though I think there are lots of people who
are way more skilled then I am as my only skills are web browsing,
reading/writing/dealing with emails and reading/writing Word documents.
Anyway he's convinced that this my path for getting a job but I just love
doing my personal stuff on my laptop that I'm worried that I'd lose that if
I got a job that involves a lot of computer work. Anyway I'm not at all a
people person and hate math so I couldn't do any sort of
administrative/accounting/bookkeeping work. So does anyone have any ideas of
jobs that involve a lot of computer work but don't involve much/any
interaction with people/math that I could do successfully as a totally blind
person? Just thought I'd ask since there are likely lots of jobs that I'm
unaware exist; look forward to any thoughts that anyone can provide me!!

Madison
