What type of Part-Time jobs do you do? (self.Blind)
submitted by Carnegie89
I'm trying to find a part-time job while at University. Job through the University is not possible as I'm doing it online. I'm legally blind and most retails and food handling job isn't accessible.
Please suggest some ideas.
EDIT: I have a 2yr diploma in general business and 3yr diploma in business administration. I'm currently in university for a bachelor in business administration. I'll be doing a master's in business administration next.

What kind of work are you interested in? Can you possibly find something related to your major, even if tangentially?
I'm working part-time as an accessibility consultant, which is specialized knowledge, but a lot of tech work is probably relatively easy to do, compared to having to navigate physical spaces and so on.

I'm doing Bachelor in Business Administration. I'm a board of director for a local paratransit company. Also, in a legislated committee for making the city accessible.
How did you get into Accessibility Consulting? I have always been interested in that.

As far as food industry goes, I've found myself washing dishes at a couple places. Just requires running the equipment and remembering where stuff goes. Easy enough gig.

I actually do work in a retail store and it isn't so bad. It's a tiny shop, so it's easy to remember where stuff is and how to ring things up without looking. I'm also in school studying UX Design and programming. Lots of blind folks have tech jobs!
Hit up your local blind center and ask about job help. Sometimes they have leads. Good luck!

I have been paid to write code, but I can't say I'd want to make it a whole day job because there's only so much time you want to spend listening to lots of random punctuation.

I used to write guest posts for tech blogs for extra cash. Most of them paid about $100/post and I could do 1-2 a week depending on how much research I needed to do. It can take a bit of work to get on as a guest writer somewhere, though, but if you're willing to do it, it can be worth it.
