@gocu54 @techsinger @EdenLinnea So speaking as someone who has run their own business since 2007, the "little engine that could" mindset that starts off this thread is certainly useful, but honestly drastically over-simplifise the nested problems that make up the issue of blind unemployment in the U.S. And having a parent who works in government doesn't really provide useful info because that's an entirely different animal than the private sector. So while I'm not going to say that things like networking and blind people making sure they're employable aren't important parts of this, there's a little too much blame the blind going on here for me to take this as anything other than an instance of posting to feel good about one's choices or beliefs.

@acarson @Bruce @techsinger @EdenLinnea That’s fair, my dad also runs his own business as well as his job, so he does many things. I just didn’t think to mention that too. Still, this isn’t something that I posted to make me feel good, I already feel good about my path because I at least have something paying me money for working also, I’m only pointing out the issues I’ve seen, weather that is everyone’s or even the majority of people’s experiences remains to be seen.
