[nabs-l] Online degree programs

Jen,
You do have to choice to not continue with your Individual Plan for
Employment if you'd like to sell Avon full time. Your rehab counselor sounds
a lot like mine and Rania's where each of our rehab counselors aren't being
supportive with what we want to do for our careers. It sounding like your
rehab counselor is doing the same exact thing that mine and Rania's are.
What are you planning to study in college? If you go that route? Sounds like
you need to meet with your rehab counselor and tell her that you'd rather
sell Avon full time instead of going school. Just stuck to your guns so to
speak when you talk to your rehab counselor. There is a lot that I've
learned from living in three different states dealing with three different
rehab agencies and several rehab counselors in each of these state agencies
for the blind and visually impaired.

Hi Jess,

I do sell AVON, but I don't make much money doing it. It gives me a little 
spending money, that's about it.

Actually I did tell my counsellor that I wanted to sell Avon full time, but 
she didn't want to hear that, lol.
