I'm a teacher for students with Visual impairments. I've got a buddy with a progressive condition who is employed as a specialist with a top global company and I've got students who are looking forward to their careers as pen assemblers at a local agency. I've also got students who want to be teachers and have their own language schools.
Basically, it depends on your abilities and motivation.

If you are in the US, you can reach out to the disability department of your local state workforce agency/commission. They should have vocational counselors who can discuss your options both career wise AND college funding. The voc counselor that I work with is amazing. Her dept does an all day eval that gets down to the nitty gritty of your interests and abilities and they make a super detailed plan with you. My state workforce Commission also helps with college funding for my VI students.

I think you've chosen a really good field of study. You'll require accommodations but if you're comfortable with technology, you'll be fine. It sounds like you could really benefit from learning about the resources available to you.
