I'm fully blind, and do the IT thing. Learn to use $1 and you're good. Yes, doing on-site support for machines you don't own is probably closed to you, or at least really difficult. However, if you learn to use NVDA 99% of the time, you've got a huge advantage in accessibility testing. You can use NVDA the majority of the time, and then just glance at the screen to make sure NVDA isn't missing anything. Or if you do find that something is inaccessible, you sound like you have enough vision to tell how the task would be done visually, so you can then give feedback about how the website/app could be fixed to give screen-reader users similar productivity. Or you could do freelance website work. Or get a job as a technical writer. Or do support in an accessible call centre. Or write advertising copy. Or get into transcription. Get comfortable with a screen-reader, and then you can do most of the stuff you do now, just without straining your eyes looking at the screen.

I can't really tell you what you can do, because I don't know you. A better question perhaps is what do you want to do? Instead of looking at this as a list of things that are closed to you, isolate something that you have a genuine interest in and perhaps we can tell you a way for you to pursue that. I am totally blind myself, and take it from me, the list of things that you cannot do is a lot smaller than you might think.

I think this is the right thread. RP? Visual static? Anyway VI people are also welcome. Not exclusively for the Blind. As to your problem. Apply to vocational rehab. They can help you out. They will help retrain you on things, help you find a profession you would be suited to. I don't know what is available in Australia, but I am sure someone on this thread does.

Every qualification I have is in IT.
Now its fucking useless.
