I really love my job (research). I don't feel lucky that I was hired because I worked hard for the position I hold and I know I deserve it. I do, however, feel lucky that I finally figured my shit out at age 30 because who knows where I'd be if that hadn't happened haha. I've now got a solid career and 10 years of experience in my field.

I love my job.

I know what you mean though. There are equal opportunity laws in many countries, but they can reject you because of your disability but it's not like they're going to come right out and say it. Instead they'd claim you didn't fit their team dynamic or something.

In my experience, larger organisations are more able and willing to abide by equal opportunity employment. My company even featured me on their internal newsletter as a sort of 'hey look how open minded we are' puff piece. I didn't mind because it meant I got to educate people about being blind in the workplace.

I actually like my job, and I’m happy to be working in retail! Sure it can be stressful, but I really enjoy my job! I am so blessed to work with good co-workers and managers who really appreciate me, despite my visual impairment. Been working at the same place for six years and five days now!

I absolutely love being a TVI. Working with blind students to improve their lives is super gratifying.

I love my job. It's fun.

Except for the getting up at 4 AM and the 5 hour a day commute...

I'm fortunate enough to have an amazing job which pays quite well and which isn't specific to accessibility. It's boring as shit though because I've been doing it for years and I'm tired of repetitiveness.

I work in the civil service. I wouldn't say I like it that much, in that I wouldn't be doing it if they didn't pay me; but I'm not sure that's related to being blind, either. Don't most people dislike their jobs and do it out of obligation, because they need to eat and so on?

I hate it so much. I work with the general public, and I'm not a blind person able to pass. Meaning that from the appearance of my eyes, anyone can tell that I'm blind. This results in a constant battle of pushing past low expectations, and that's from the people who are even willing to "accept" my help. It's so bad at this point that I just take a little petty revenge solace when they walk straight past me like I'm a house plant and seek help from a colleague who isn't as knowledgeable as I am. Let them get bad advice because of their own ignorance. I'm not bitter at all! Can you tell? :P

I haven't always been like this. I'm a happy, fun-loving person, but my job has made me angry, depressed and anxious because no matter how skilled I am at my job, I am treated like an incompetent child by the vast majority of individuals I come into contact with at work. I'd love to find something else to do, but as the title of your post suggests, it isn't as simple as just getting another job.

I don't hate my job, but it's not the greatest thing in the world either. Pay sucks when compared to pretty much everywhere else in the industry, but I landed this job 2 months out of college and it's currently paying off my student loan, so I'm not going to complain too loudly. That being said, I'm one phone call away from walking out the door, whether or not I have industry certification when it happens.
