Hey guys, what do you do for living? (self.Blind)
submitted by baboli12
Hey everyone, I was wondering what your jobs are. Do you work? And if you do, do you have suggestions for others?

My wife has really low vision and she is working for a pharmaceutical company. She is mostly doing HR works and currently she is at occupational health, security and environment department.

I'm an accessibility specialist, consulting with companies around the SF Bay Area. I primarily work with Lyft, and I also do some work here and there for the Internet Archive. Self-teaching myself coding so I can become an accessibility engineer to fix problems rather than just pointing them out. Am also a certified web accessibility specialist, so I can jump between apps and web design.

I would love to connect! I know little code, more like zero, but still, would love to get into more of this kind of work. $1

PhD student and programmer. Teacher, writer, and accessibility specialist or backend programmer are possibilities. HR seems like a good fit if you were good with some tech that could automate some annoying stuff.

I earn a disability pension that's worth 50% of the average income of my best 10 years of work, which is enough for me since I don't have to pay rent, plus it's about to be almost doubled thanks to a new law introduced last October here in Portugal.

I'm a network operations analyst with my eye on possible CCNA and an eventual career as network admin/engineer. The pay's not great yet, but once I've landed certifications I can pretty much go anywhere that needs a geek. I want CCNA, CCNP and eventually one or two network security certs (Fortinet or Check Point are possibilities).

Polic-sci student, was a student journalist for a while. I guess teaching isn’t out of the question, but I aspire to work for either a political party, grassroot movement, or perhaps even a politician doing writing and such, on the conservative side.
