Hello everyone.

I have been writing a film script with a blind female character as the protagonist. The film isn't necessarily about blindness, and that's the whole point, to make a film focused on a blind person without making it all about blindness. Anyway, she is an South European, working class, low income, late twenties early thirties woman living with her mother. She works a fulltime job. Initially I had thought of making her somewhat defy the odds and "gave her" a job as a housekeeper at a hotel, with the condition that she was mainly changing sheets and doing laundry and those activities more easily accessible to a completely blind person. The idea behind it was giving her a job that most people don't expect a blind person to be doing, while not being unrealistic at the same time. But since then I've changed the script a little bit and I'm considering ditching the housekeeping idea. I don't want her to work a tech job either.

Can you guys throw me ideas of suitable jobs for a blind person? I'm aware that given the right training a blind person can do almost any job. And I've read innumerous lists of jobs for visually impared people. I'm just looking for ideas, maybe jobs you, or people you know, have had.


Thanks to everyone in advance.
