[blindlaw] State VR Occupational Goal

[Zachariah M]

Hello All,

I wanted to ask for your advice regarding a question posed to me by my VR
Counselor. What occupation(s) could i list on my Individual Plan for
employment  (IPE) that require a JD but aren't "attorney" or "paralegal"? I
am a partially sighted Minnesota resident registered with State Services
for the Blind(SSB), and would like to become an attorney,  but my counselor
with SSB doesn't feel that she would be able to get my IPE approved with an
occupational goal of "attorney" due to the extended time commitment of
getting into and finishing law school.

Thank you all for your time and attention in this important matter.

Respectfully,

Zachariah
