I don't have a degree, I quit college after about 4 years of absolute misery and unhappyness because of the lack of accessibility and do to the simple fact that I wasn't having any fun, so the most I have is a high school deploma, and although I technically graduated from my local school system, I really graduated from the virginia school for the deaf and blind in Staunton which is a fate I would not wish on my own worst enemy. When I graduated from there, the kind of work they had me doing, no employer in his right mind would have hired me for. I basically got payed to do things like play with the dogs at a boarding kennal, rewind tapes at the talking book center there at the local public library, and clean the chairs in the school's dining hall. I can type well on the computer as I say I've been using them since I was 5 years old, and if you'd like to know where my true passion lies it's in computer and video games. But math is to me what criptonite is to superman so I couldn't even code a game to save my life. And there in lies the challenge. I'm not really sure what I'd be good at to be quite honest with everyone. I could probably do transcription, but I don't really have any sort of equipment at all to do that kind of work. This usability testing thing sounds like something I could really get into though, so I'll look that over first and listen to other suggestions from the group as well. 
And no, I don't think I'm a part of the jobs email list come to think of it.
