You know what I say? There's no such thing as being "too endependent!" If you want to get your P.H.D. in Comparative Literature, go for it! Who cares if you don't know any blind people who have done it before? I want to get my P.H.D. in Neuroscience, and I don't know any blind people who have done that either! So what? That just makes people like us cooler, because we're pioniers! Go out there and do it, if it's what you want!
