[Nfbwa-students] hello from a new member

[Eden Kizer]

Hello, i don't know if my post is appropriate as I have yet to renew my 
membership since I just found a chapter to go to, and i have yet oto 
tehcnically enter school although I am doing an ed2go course from Clark 
College in Wordpress, but I find the wording often difficult to follow 
with the instructions totally leaving out accessible ways to accomplish 
the same tasks with a keyboard that you would accomplish with a mouse.  
At any rate, I am also going to take courses online through CAVI< but I 
really want to go back to school.  I think my interest lies in 
computers, but i really am not sure which part.  I think I would enjoy 
working with assisitive technology and would love to be able to provide 
reasonable tech support for blind persons or for anyone if I worked for 
a company, and I am wishing to do web design also.  I was told by 
another blind friend that she was concerned that as a blind web designer 
that I could not make designs that would look nice to a sighted person, 
but I don't know how you guys feel, but I know a lot of blind people who 
made websites, but obviously, I do not know how they look to sighted people.

At any rate, I have some ideas but not sure if a two-year computer 
degree is best or some 4-year degree.  I already have an AA from 
Florida, and I went through a year and half through social work at 
Florida State years ago before realizing I don't want to work in the 
public, i want to work from home.  I also thought about going to school 
for medical transcription.  I'd be curious to know your guys, thoughts 
on anything I've talked about.  You can e-mail privately or on list is 
fine.  I look forward to making new friends, learning things and 
hopefully being able to give somehthing back and get a better experience 
from my newere colege experiences.
