Re: Dear All


Dear Sundar welcome to the list!
We are a whole bunch of people here who also has been thinking about
how our choice of career will fit with our RP.

I know very little about the work situation in India, and even less
when it comes to being handicaped as well, so this are just my
thoughts in general when it comes to technical or management oriented
work in combination with visually impairment.

I myself work as a programmer, but have tried to keep away from the
graphical parts and working to become an expert on the database part
instead. Probably will that be possible to combine with less vision
as well, since it is more text oriented.

When it comes to management jobs I don't think that less vision would
stop you there either, there are more than one who has bad or no
vision at all who works at management level. Actually I think the
most difficult thing is not to find a career that will suite you when
your vision get worse, the most difficult thing is to find an
employer that can accept that we are different, and can see the other
things that we are good at and sometimes better than people with
normal vision.
Hope you will enjoy this list!
