Graduating on Chemical Engineering and Industrial Chemistry next year. Still trying to decide whether I'll pursue a Master's degree on Process Control or Computational Math.

A.S.on web development. Thinking going for the bachelor soon. Work is holding me back though.

I have an AAS in education, a BA in English and creative writing, an MS in psychology, and I’m finishing up my M.Ed in SPED and my certificate in behavior analysis to get my BCBA and behavior analyst license. I’m also finishing up board certification in SPED. I’m also working on my ACT and TF-CBT certifications. I’m also in the tail end of EMT school.

I’m currently a psych professor, but I’m hoping to continue on at my clinical site full time post-grad and mainly do “talk therapy” with the kids. I’d like to finish my PsyD and at least get my applied psychologist license post-grad.

I was originally going for my clinical psych license, but my state essentially doesn’t allow those with sensory impairments or most other disabilities to hold a license with diagnostic rights, so I had to switch to clinical behavior analysis.

Hi everyone. I have a J.D., but I currently work in IT. I like physics and computer science but my undergrad admissions counselor told me that blind students could never get through the math. Stupidly, I believed her at the time. What can I say, I was a teenager and she was someone of authority.

While attending university I had a history professor that had only light perception. He was invaluable in helping get some study strategies down and get familiarised with my adaptive technology. I'm currently working on a BS in Anthropology.

I've got a Bachelors degree in History and English (double major) and I'm currently finishing off my Masters in the same two fields. I'm from Switzerland where you can't freely choose your Masters, you have to continue whatever you were doing in your undergrad studies (as a way of gaining more in-depth understanding).

I originally wanted to get a PhD in History after my Master is complete but now I'm not so sure anymore. I've literally been an university student for an entire decade. I started in my early 20s, now I'm in my early 30s. There are different reasons why it took me so long but my blindness is obviously a huge factor. I'm currently supposed to work on my MA thesis but I'm struggling with a complete lack of passion or motivation for... anything in life. The past 3 years have been incredibly difficult for me because I went from legally blind to more or less fully blind. 3 years ago I was able to ride my bicycle, now I'm moving around with a white cane. Not only has this development further slowed me down in a practical sense but it also threw me off track and into a very dark hole. With the help of therapy and my wonderful wife I'm now fighting to get out of that hole again but it's not easy. And once I'll finish up my Masters, I'll probably be 32. I love studying and academia because I'm actually a total nerd but at this age I seriously need to contemplate my life choices. If I go for a PhD, which I'd love to do, my wife and I probably won't be able to have children. It wouldn't be financially feasible. This sucks because I've always wanted to have kids. So it's a very tough decision.

Also, my original dream job was to become a teacher at a public high school. Contrary to the US, this is a very good job here in Switzerland. It's well-respected by society and the pay is excellent. The downside is that it's very popular and so I don't know if I even have a chance as a blind guy. More importantly though, I don't know if teaching at a public school as a blind individual is even possible. I used to have a very optimistic attitude towards this issue but literally everyone has been telling me for the past few years that blind people can't teach except at schools for the blind, so I have gotten rather insecure about this whole plan. If I can't become a teacher, I have absolutely no idea what else I should become. Especially if I can't go into research. There's nothing I have nearly as much passion for.

So... I'm at a rather strange point in my life at the moment. You see, when I was 12 or 13 years old, I was a super mature kid. I knew that I was going to struggle more than others and so I planned my whole life through. I thought about this stuff for years and when I graduated high school, it seemed like I had everything figured out. Everything appeared very straight-forward. I didn't have to do any soul-searching like some of my friends and my ambition drove me to achieve high goals. Now I've been stuck at the same place for 10 years and I don't even have a job yet. And top it all, I don't even know if I will be able to get the kind of job I so desperately want. The whole situation is a bit overwhelming. Sometimes I just lie in bed and think to myself: "How the hell could everything go so wrong?" I struggle with some existentialist pain and I'm definitely more the Satre-type than the Camus-type. But there's no use in any of this. I somehow need to get over this and find a way forward. So, that's what I'm currently working on.

Hi. I am currently working on a bachelors degree in psychology, and I later plan on getting a teaching credential in visual impairment.

Legally blind with a B.A. in English and Spanish. My sister is also legally blind and she has a Master's in... I want to say Counseling Psychology? She's currently working toward becoming a licensed therapist. She works with children and teens.

I used to want to be an elementary school teacher, but there's such an overabundance of elementary teachers, I always figured, why would anyone hire me when literally any of the other applicants wouldn't be blind? Plus, I'm bad at faces, since I can't really make out people's features until they get pretty close to me, so I think it would be a real nightmare trying to make friends with other faculty and staff, and learning to recognize students' parents.

My partner is visually impaired and she is about to move onto her Masters and then eventually her PHD.

High school drop-out.
