I know blind lawyers, a psycologist, plenty of business analysts and project managers, entrapeneurs (in Assistive tech, carbon offsets etc), dive bar owners, real estate agent, audio engineers, software developers, call centre reps (managers, front line staff) writers, researchers, vocational rehab trainers, studio musicians and the list goes on and on. Whatever you have an aptitude for, you can channel into a meaningful career. Just don't set out to be a "social media influencer" or "motivational speaker" That stuff gives me a hard cringe.

I'm in IT, myself. My other job is professional troll.

I'm a software engineer who works from home.
I used to know a girl who was totally blind and worked as a dispatcher for the state police and I have some years of experience doing EMS dispatching myself, back before I got into programming.
