Sorry to hear that the music thing isn't working out for you,
heard some of
your work and you're good. I took an IT course recently from CAVI,
(cisco
academy for the visually impaired), I'd recommend them to anyone.
Quite the
professionals and blindy's at that. Look them up for yourself on
the world
wide web, the course lasted for about 4 months and is very
extensive, and
very affordable. $150.00 in fact. They do offer other courses and
networking
is one of them. Hope it works out for you.

Subject: [ddots-l] Job Question
Hi folks.
I have some employment related questions, specifically, I'm
wondering in
what parts of the computer field blind folks are finding work
these days.
Or,
If there is a list specifically for blind computer professionals,
or more
generally, employment of blind folks, please mention it and I'll
gladly take
this over there.
Both teaching music and mixing and mastering audio are both not
getting me
anywhere in terms of income. It's sadly, time for me to just
forget about
the music business as anything more than a hobby, and find work
elsewhere.
if you were going to retrain presently, what area would you focus on?
Networking? Coding? Smartphone App developing? Something else?
I attended university before the first big dot com boom and bust
in the late
1990's. Back then, a computer science degree was golden. I have no
idea if
that's the case now, or where the money and opportunities are.
I'm also wondering who offers correspondence courses that has a
reputable
name. i.e. not some fly by night operation or free course
somewhere, but an
institution with distance learning options and real credibility
and name
recognition. And, preferably somewhere that can offer something
focused,
specialized, and intensive. I need to take something over the next
year or
two, not four years or more, and am prepared to work flat out to
finish it.
Thanks for any ideas or pointers to more appropriate lists.
Chris
