Legally blind and unemployed (self.Blind)
submitted by Namrakk
If this is against the rules, please let me know and I’ll be sure to delete. I’m legally blind and haven’t much luck at all in my job search. I’m a law school graduate (w/TX Bar) and am unable to find anything in my field despite being pretty thorough in my job search. If anyone can help or knows of anyone who can, I would appreciate it. Thank you.

I know the founder of Blind Institute of Technology, and he has contacts across the US. DM me, and I'll connect you. He's extremely generous and supportive, and his mission is helping Blind/VI professionals get amazing jobs.

Not sure what your exact passion is for the law, but I would reach out to TSBVI in Austin.
The Texas School for the Blind and Visually Impaired in Austin has its own legal team. The campus and community are truly amazing. You might reach out to them if you are interested in working with them but also as a networking resource as they work statewide and might help you match your passion with other lawyers.

Have you considered going into practice for yourself? This is a pretty OK option as a lawyer.
