Hey, I'm still considering these options you mentioned. I'm already 38 and I'm
not sure about tying up four more years of the state and then maybe not being
marketable and never being any closer to Bible college. I want to go to a
particular school but am willing to settle for another one, but I had hoped I
could have paid my way to go to a school in Oklahoma that I've always wanted to
go to but never made enough money to save up. I'm not totally dismissing the
ideas you've pointed out, though. Thanks for taking time to suggest this to
me. Have a blessed day.

Hey Jamie,
If you live in a college town, have you considered going to that college?
You could start by taking some courses, get all the requirements out of the way
and maybe get some kind of job. Then you could look around for missionary work
or peace corps or some church opportunities. Colleges (even secular ones)
often have opportunities come their way.

Hi, I'm not sure rehab pays for Bible college and I'm not sure what degree
I'd get from a regular secular public college. I do live in a college town so
if I found what degree to get, we might have something there. The new rehab
counselor does seem nice. Have a blessed day.

Jamie,
I am glad you are working with a rehab counselor. Can't that person help
you if you want to go to college? Often rehab will help pay for college.
Another resource for you is Dialogue with the Blind Magazine. There is a lot
of career information in this magazine.

Hi, on the subject of jaws and jobs, are there any of you out there
who do 911 dispatching or other dispatching either on site or at home? What
other away from home jobs are being done with jaws today? I know teachers and
social workers and programmers and transcriptionists and legal workers, but
what else? Thanks and have a blessed day.
