Careers for the visually impaired (self.Blind)
submitted by hammy_yammy
What are some careers that a blind or visually impaired person can excel in? Any ideas or personal experiences are much appreciated!

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've known lawyers, translators, self defense instructors, teachers, CPR/first aid instructors, call center phone guy (not sure the proper name), all sorts of technicians, podcaster, TV host and chef.

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.
