[nabs-l] Help with declaring my major

[codyjbair at yahoo.com]

Hi Tamika,

I am a senior accounting major at the University of Northern Colorado and believe that accounting is a very interesting field of study with ample opportunities.

Their are numerous careers involved in accounting of which include public accounting(Primarily tax and audit) and various positions in industry. Throughout my undergraduate carreer I have worked two internships with a reigional firm in Colorado working in their tax department specializing in real estate and state and local taxation. Although accounting is a very rewarding field, I must admit that their are sometimes accessibility bariers with softwares used by different company’s but up to this point I have not found anything that has been impossible to work around. Should you chose accounting also know that it is a major that will require a lot of your time as the material in upper-level accounting courses is often difficult to learn. However, your sighted peers will also have difficulty with such material.

Let me know if you would like to discuss this more off list?

Thanks,

Cody

Hi NABS,

My name is Tamika Williams and I live in the state of Alabama. Next
semester I will be a junior in college at the University of South
Alabama. Therefore, I am coming to a point where I have to declare my
major. Within a couple of semesters, I will be done with all my
prerequirements for Business Administration. However, I am still a bit
uncertain about which major I would like to declare. My three areas of
consideration are Accounting, General Management, or Entrepreneurship.
So I have two questions for you guys. They are as follows:

1. Are you in either of these fields of study or do you know anybody
that is? Will you or your other relevant source be willing to talk to
me off list so that you could give me a little mor insight on these
areas?

2. What jobs do you guys know of that could be done with these degrees
by a totally blind person with reasonable accomodations? Sorry, I know
that is a broad question, but I am just looking for those that stands
out the most to you.

Any pertinent questions, recommendations, or comments are very much appreciated.

Sincerely,
Tamika Williams
