My totally blind husband has been a radio announcer/Dj for 40 years. Many changes have happened to the industry in that time. When he started in the 1970s, everything was tangible; records, commercial carts, etc. Now everything is in the audio computer system. At the time it was wonderful for him. although radio doesn't pay well for a career.

With proper training, people with vision impairment are able to do almost any job a sighted person can do.

I'm visually impared and I'm in school to be a aircraft mechanic and I use to work in automotive as a mechanic

I’m legally and almost entirely blind. I’m a full time university student mainly but also have a job.
My job is as a scribe for dyslexic or autistic, or people with another disability who struggle with typing or writing essays/ assignments. I can type 200-300 words per minute with very few mistakes on finger memory on most laptops and computers. The job is a perfect fit for me and I’ve met a few other blind and visually impaired people who do this (or similarly, admin jobs) because it mostly requires listening to someone speak aloud and transcribing that into writing.

What is it you would like to do for living? Find something you like then figure out a way to make it happen.

I am reading this with my partner who is legally blind. He wanted to let you know that he is a massage therapist and specializes in sports massage and neuromuscular therapy. That was a career change for him. He used to be a social worker, but had trouble finding work because many places required him to have a drivers license.

I'm a sysadmin.

I work for a company here in Florida that Hires disabled people to work through federal contracts, Challenge Enterprises has a contract with a local Navy base and I work with a team of people loading food supplies aboard Navy ships. Challenge also has other contracts for people with less eyesight than I have and work with all sorts of disabilities

I'm reskilling right now. I'm learning Salesforce and going for a Salesforce Administrator Certification. :-) You can also get certified as a developer.

Salesforce demand is expected to create 3.3 million new jobs by 2022. No kidding.

Bosma Enterprises in Indianapolis just trained their first cohort of blind-VI Salesforce Admins. $1


Salesforce has a huge push to make their software accessible to all users. This is a massive, globally in-demand skill, and it pays VERY well.

L&D professional. I do LMS admin, eLearning development and high level strategy. It's quite fun and if you're good it pays well.
