Yes, if it gives you practical work experience on the path to your goals, or
if it just gives you some god experience to put on a resume.

Hi all,

I'm just curious to know your opinions on whether you consider getting
involved with a blindness organization or society such as the Federation or
NABS to be going out and working in the real world?

I'm just curious because not everybody in the world is blind, so working
with a company that only involves blind people is, in my opinion, not really
a job where you interact with everyone out there.
I think it should be obvious to everyone on this list that about
70 percent of the people in this world are sighted and about 30 percent
includes us, the blindness community.  Sorrmy if my math is off, but that's
my estimate of how much of the world contains the sighted people and how
much contains us.  Somebody else on this list might have a more accurate
calculation of the actual percentages.

So, in your opinion, is getting involved with a blindness group going out
and working in the real world or only in your "blindness" world?

I'm looking forward to hearing your views.

Thanks,

Sami.
