Mussie:

Nice to find you here!  I am sorry to have missed the chance to go to the
Bay Area recently.  We were going to attend a NCADB event, but then the
program was put on hold.  Then it wasn'['t on hold anymore but basically
closed, along with most of the company's operations.  Fortunately, we still
hadn't that many consumers in your area.  In other areas, it was chaos!

As I mentioned before, I have to decide between taking a similar job or
going to graduate school.  The job would pay good and right away, but it is
not quite what I really want to do.  School means being really poor for a
while, but at the end I'll be able to get a tenure-track post at a
university, doing what I really want to do.  If I was single and had no
children, I'd go the latter route without any questions.  But that's not the
case.

Any advice or thoughts?

John

Welcome John Lee Clark. I have joined this list several months ago, but I 
remained totally absent because I, too, have been really busy.
Pardon me everyone on this list if I failed to introduce myself first. I am 
Mussie Gebre from the Bay Area of Northern California. I am deaf-blind and 
currently provide assistive tech training and consulting, but my current 
college education significantly limits my ability to work with additional 
clients and organizations throughout California.
