Hello Laura, I have been employed in the past as a programmer, and did so after becoming blind, so yes, it can be done. Your father should be your first source for information about this career, because although he is sighted, (I'm making this assumption) he should be familiar with your academic history and what further education you will need in order to obtain the skills needed. As for resources relevant to a blind programmer, I suggest visiting www.empowermentzone.com or google for "blind programming" to locate web resources for blind programmers.
