What are good jobs for people with poor eyesight, any ideas?

Question

I have a cousin who is legally blind. She is in high school.

I was talking to her mom and we were trying to think of possible careers. Any ideas?

Answer 1

She could have a career in science, math, music, writing, administration, counseling....

Schools are in dire need of teachers for math and science; a huge shortage is expected.

NASA had/has a program that brings science and space to the blind. One of their top scientists is blind.

I've included a website which lists career connections for the blind and a college guide for students with visual impairments.

So listen to her desires and encourage her to follow her dreams!

Answer 2

Customer relations on the phone, also phone sales.

Answer 3

If she/he is not enrolled in a school for the deaf and blind who would have a job service counselor available to help you may think of

going  to your local/state vocational rehabilitation center, and apply for services in the blind and low vision department; they will be able to help them further, and point them in the right direction.

Good Luck.
