Hi, Cy, I would like to know how this person does his job using jaws and if he works at the facility or from home and what credentials he needed to obtain to get his position. Thanks and have a blessed day. PS: You may give this individual my email address if you want to. It's jdprater@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Thanks. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cy Selfridge" <cyselfridge@xxxxxxxxxxx>

I'm trying to brush up on somethings with college and jaws as I see your point about a college degree. I was just looking into home based options so as to cut down on transportationhassles. We have no cabs here and no stable bus system.----- Original Message ----- From: "Karen Rose" <rosekm@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, November 19, 2009 12:55 AM Subject: RE: another jaws and job questionThe comment of your sighted friend is such that I would probably end that friendship were it made to me! Just reading this makes me furious! How dare your friend imagine that, simply because she can see and she failed this test, that you as a competent blind person would fail it too, e.g., if a sighted person can't do it, how could someone who is blind accomplish the task? How dare a blind person do better than her on such a test? In fact, you may have better computer skills, be more prepared, be more intelligent, enter data faster, have a better telephone manner--any or all of theabove--and therefore be better able to pass this test. Why not try it andsee how you actually do? Also, I might have missed something on this thread--why do you need to work or attend school only from home? Also, for what it's worth, I do career counseling (as well as therapy) primarily with nondisabled people, and I am often saying to them that a college degree is now what a high school dipplomma used to be--an entry ticket to nearly all jobs. It is nearly impossible for anyone, blind or sighted, to get most jobs without a degree. -----Original Message-----From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On BehalfOf Jamie Prater Sent: Wednesday, November 18, 2009 11:36 AM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: another jaws and job questionHi, uh, thanks, didn't think about that, but uh, no, that's not compatiblewith my biblical persuasion/denominational beliefs, but I can't deny that itis a job, but how ligit? I don't know if anybody is doing 911 dispatching from home or on site using jaws for that matter, but that is what I'd liketo find out as a sighted friend told me I couldn't do 911 as she failed the test and she can see, and I know of another person who does this but notsure if she uses jaws or what? I don't know how to get in touch with her.Thanks anyway. Have a blessed day.----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Smart" <chris_s@xxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, November 18, 2009 1:32 PM Subject: Re: another jaws and job questionAt 12:53 PM 11/18/2009, you wrote:Hi, on the subject of jaws and jobs, are there any of you out there who do911 dispatching or other dispatching either on site or at home?Wow, someone is doing 911 dispatch from home??? Uh, I can think of one type of work from home opportunity involving the telephone and no computer requirements, but it's not the sort of thing Iwould bet you are interested in. Heck, it's not the sort of thing I wouldmention by name on a public list. *laughs* Let's call it phone acting. -- JFW related links: JFW homepage: http://www.freedomscientific.com/ Scripting mailing list: http://lists.the-jdh.com/listinfo.cgi/scriptography-the-jdh.com JFW List instructions: To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
