Are there any blind people on this list who are employed? In America, blind people have a hard time getting a job too and deal with the same obstacles as Carol mentioned. 70% of all working-age blind people are either unemployed or underemployed. The only way I got my jobs was through persistence and the help of my lord and savior, Jesus Christ. I got rejected so many times it isn't funny. However, rejection is part of life and doesn't stop me. Eventually, you will get a job if you have a good education and are persistent.
