Dear Caisa,

Thank you for welcoming me to retinayouth group. Your comments/advice over
career is really great. As you said if I am choosing to be a software
engineer then I have to tilt over the database side rather than graphical
user interface.



If would combine my Management skill along with the software, I hope it will
work better. As of now I am in Power sector ie GIS Substation.



Caisa, who will recruit me? if they come to know that I have been affected
with RP. A corporate will never entertain such person unless it ran on
service motive. Either I have to start my own business or employed in
service oriented ran by the Government.



The Government of India have very small percentage of reservation in the
public sector. I can't blame the Government as they have to look over 1
billion people. I am at present working in Saudi Arabia and if I am
returning back to India and looking for a job, it will be very difficult due
to personal commitment



Lot and lot of confusion and uncertainty making me depressed. .Let me
continue in my next mail. Meantime can I know more about you?



Take care and convey my regards to your friends and family.



Regards,

Sundar

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!
