I am nearing the end of my graduate degree. I'm looking to move closer to home and I'm curious what other folks do for work. What do you do that you think works really well with your vision loss?

My vision loss is mild. My employers are surprised when I ask for accommodations like a larger screen, but it does limit things like driving and transportation. I'm trying to find employment that has no driving requirement (a surprisingly difficult task) and is otherwise supportive and functional for higher acuity end of low vision.

I've been looking at universities, since housing is usually available nearby, higher ed institutions tend to have resources like a gym, food, etc. instead of having to catch an uber or bus across town, both their HR and Title IX offices would act as protection (in as far as HR ever acts as protection) and they usually have more resources for accommodations than other governmental or not-for-profit organizations.

Is there a similar type of employment I should be looking at? Is there a non-office but well enough paid type of job that I should consider? I wouldn't mind at all finding a job outside of the office but they usually require driving and/or are substantially lower paid than what I'd find elsewhere.
