What Jobs Can Blind People Do? 

Omg guys I’m HORRIFIED with the audio quality! I don’t know why it sounds like this...so sorry next video will be better promise 🤎

This video made me cry. I am vision impaired now and lost hope in living a normal life. Your encouraging words gave me second wind. Stay strong.

ICE Syndrome (unilateral) - I worry about vision loss in my good eye and viewing your videos helps me realize that if the worst happens, there is still a life out there for me. ❤

This is dope! You’re my first BLACK blind youtuber I’ve seen. I am so happy to see someone that’s the same complexation dealing with a similar situation as me😊. And she’s really beautiful lol.

Girl I’ve been legally blind since i was 12 years old (due to PXE)and my whole life I thought I couldn’t do anything😢. But after my Divorce I got my first actual job after being a stay at home mom for 15 years. I started as at the stock room because I thought it was the only thing I could do. Later I became a cashier which I thought I couldn’t because it was hard to see but I figured out a way to do it and now I’m the stock lead/management. My self esteem went way up and now I want more but i have no idea where to start. Thank god I ran into your video. I’ve always thought no one would understand my needs. But girl I had never hit subscribe that quick lol

New subbie here 👋🏾 I am so glad I came upon your channel. I’m 30 years old & lost my vision in 2016 due to a rare disease called Steven-Johnson syndrome. I am a Registeted Nurse & currently trying to find my way back into nursing after feeling all hope was gone. After watching a couple of your videos so far, you have given me hope & motivation to keep pushing forward. Thank you !

Hi, I just found your channel. Love it!❤ I was diagnosed with Statgardt's disease when i was 21. I am legally blind and have been teaching elementary now for over 20 years. I have traveled the world doing something I love. It is possible to live a full beautiful life with low vision. Stay encouraged, everyone! ❤❤❤

I have Stargardt’s Disease. I am a sixth grade teacher, and I have to be honest and say it is difficult. The middle school age can be mean because they are immature. Still, much of it has been rewarding. This year I am able to teach online, and I’m loving it! I also have always loved writing so I hope to get info that one day.

Blind Fury is very well known blind rapper, he's been on MTV and BET

I was just recently diagnosed with SD but I have been losing my vision slowly for years now. I am about to graduate from medical school in May and will begin residency in July. It. Is. HARD. But it helps me to relate to my patients’ struggles in ways that I wouldn’t be able to otherwise.

I'm going blind. I am currently a teacher, and I LOVE my job. Sadly, I know that I will have to look for another line of work in the future. Not looking forward to it.

I have Stargardt, I’m a visual artist and I have an online business on Etsy. I found it better to not disclose disability until I get the job. I think employers would rather not deal with the added “liability”. But that is interesting to hear that these 3 sectors are interested in hiring people with low vision.. Anyways, this is the first time coming across your channel and its nice to hear from someone with the same condition. You mentioned that you had a hard time accepting the diagnosis at first. I have an article on Huffington Post that spoke of my experience with this.

You are awesome! I always had great eyesight but then I disease has left me very poorly sighted I need to making income that doesn't involve driving, please keep sharing great ideas. I was so stuck in why I'm no longer employable and taking online courses then today a light bulb came on in my head and said go see if there are videos on RU-vid describing how the blind and poorly sighted can have or do jobs and I am now listening to your video! Thank you so much 🥰 I have subscribed to your RU-vid channel and I will watch for more of your videos to pop up. And I will watch them!

Hello, many situations you've pointed out in this video, are things I currently struggle with, and before watching your video today, I was on the verge of giving up on living a life that would meet my standards. The thing I was contemplating, was settling for something less than I'm satisfied with, since I had convinced myself that accomplishing more wasn't going to be feesible. Not only has it been hard being legally blind, but getting other people to understand my limitations and stop holding me to the standards of someone fully sighted, have been equally as frustrating. I can't say "wow" enough. Thank you so much for creating this video and for your insight.

I am losing my vision slowly these few years and i am very depressed and lost hope for life, i am only 23 and i am super scared of my future now as i wont be able to see soon and i dont know how should i live without vision. But your video gave me comfort somehow, thank you very much.

I have stargadts and I’ve had SUCH a hard time finding a job where I feel I fit in. And also finding job that’s willing to accommodate for me and let me take time to do things. I feel lots of jobs are very fast paced and it’s very hard for me who needs more time to do things. This video helped me so much and find new ideas!

Hi Alisha! I am sighted however I have macular degeneration in my family (my mom & aunt) so I am tested each time I go for an eye exam. This was very interesting and I love how you raised so many options. As you mentioned them I thought "yes, why not...colour outside the lines and go for it!" Great video and you always inspire me!

Teaching 2 students this year with vision loss. Both sets of parents are very proactive which is awesome! This video was encouraging to hear. The possibilities are endless!

Love your video! I also have Stargardt's Disease and work as a therapist and yoga/meditation teacher. Thank you for this, it has also given me some new inspiration for podcasts! ❤️

I think the hardest thing about serving food or drinks in a restaurant would be trying not to knock into anyone and making sure stuff makes it to the tables. I haven't seen many blind people doing regular mundane jobs though ... Where are the blind casheers or cleaners etc? I know those are not interesting, but a lot of sighted people do these jobs either when they're starting out or in between better jobs.

BTW I also have a degenerative eye disease. But I'm a fighter not a quitter! Thank you again your words bring hope to me and I'm sure multitude of others❤

Subscribed immediately. I’m also blind. And looking to only work for myself.

You are an amazing young woman. Thank you for sharing. I myself am sighted but have a friend who has been visually impaired since childhood. I want to learn about opportunities that she might want to avail herself to. Her circle is pretty small and she relies on others I believe more as a way of community. She has a limited income but has a gift of knitting there fabulous blankets, booties for adults and I believe hats. I would like to show her others that have been able to succeed with their gifts and talents.

I want to start by saying GOD is good !! I also have Stargardts Disease.diagnosed at 16 years old and I am now 38. I always looked at my disability as a blessing because it allows me to see things differently. I am currently a custodian at a high school. I want to thank you for your inspiration. Keep being beautiful and continue to inspire. Your truly a blessing. God bless!!

being blind sucks i hate when people think im stupid because im disabled. i miss seeing all the beautiful things like color i miss 3d movies i hate stairs and i hate sidewalks with cracks in them because they look like stairs to me. my depth perception is way off and its funny sometimes but i get embarrassed when i miss a step and yes its quite often. i lost part of my vision 9 years ago and ive been completely blind 3 times for about a year each. diabetes caused my blindness. Thank God i have my wife to help me walk around and find my way when it gets hard to see. i subbed btw

What a wealth of enthusiasm you are! Thank you!!

I am blind and i am a Naildesigner, a medical Footcare Specialist and a RU-vidr ...its possible❤

Hii Di.1st of all thank you so much for this video.Being legally blind job is always a big problem in my mind...Thankfully I am doing my post graduation in Hindi.Hoping to be a teacher in future..wish me luck..Love you

What do other people do for transportation? I’ve been disabled my whole life, never lived near a bus and don’t qualify for paratransit. I would have to transfer to another paratransit to get anywhere anyway.

Thank you for this video! It gave me hope ❤️

Thank you for this. I’m dealing with vision loss but it’s causing me a vast amount of pain and I’m unable to work. It’s so hard.

Thanks we can do anything n everything I am visually impair n I do hair just for fun

Iam going blind, iam suffering from rods and cones dystrophy. Hope I find something for living.

Love this video! I am a physical therapist assistant (I do everything besides evaluation, and discharges) yes with adaptations and thankfully technology since all of my documentation is on an IPad it’s possible, Also it helps that I have a director who is accommodating.

You have the purest eyes you truly see the beauty of life and yet it's only your reflection 🌈

It's the size of the room love, the sound. I'm am definitely interested in how you make the videos.

I worry about trying to be self-employed and ending up without health insurance (have been on Medicare for years now).

I’m registered as blind I want to be a nurse but I don’t know if it will work

Hi Alecia B, my name is Emily and I am totally blind. All my life, I’ve wondered what jobs I can do. My dream really, is to be a DJ because I have a huge collection of Funk and Soul music that I’ve created for 30pluss years. It started with the love of radio and my brother’s cassette tapes. When I turnt 12 I flipped through the radio dial in the 80s and found my 92.5 and I never left. It played Funk and Soul and the station may have been sold, but I never left that station in my heart. I went from record store to record store after rent was payed and buggabooed buggabooed buggabooed the store people about do you have this or that. It’s still on with the collecting. When the internet came out, I couldn’t download right away because I didn’t know how to do it on Napster. 4shared I could do all day long and now, RU-vid and ITunes. ITunes though, is about to lose a customer since I can’t transfer files onto my terrobiter hard drive anymore. My mobility skills have never been good so I take the MTS buss, or friends help when I wanna go out. Even with that MTS though, I know how to get some place on time. Although my mobility sucks, I have computer skills, on my own computer and my friend taught me how to use my IPhone so I’m good with Social Media. Somebody said I’d be a good blogger but I never knew how to start a blog and when I go to RU-vid, sighted people directions and blind people directions are totally different. Also, that Jaws, when it comes to doing business, can be a pain in the ass. Another thing I don’t know how to do yet and I wanna learn, podcasting music like a DJ, not for the money, but for the opportunity to do it because I’ve loved Funk and Soul music since I was little and I’m 48 now. How many people go through their lives not having a job by this age? I feel like an alien from Mars when it comes to this. Anyway, if you have any suggestions, please let me know. Oh, I’ve went through stupid Voc Rehab and they gave me the run around. I became a Braille Tutor at one point in LA, but I had to go back to where I live because I couldn’t find any permanent living place in LA. I’m thinking now, we’ve come along way in 20something years, now with the internet, there must be something for us as blind people.

I’m a recently legally blind applicant and you are a motivation to me I can still see things to be able to create Contant and I rap also you just gave me to get ideas I am going to work towards an S I am lucky to make some coins, I will give you a percentage for the ideas

This is new to me. I lost my vusion which made me depressed. Going to try my best bc i miss my life and i want my life back.

I work as a dishwasher at Denny’s my vision lose is since birth and it’s call ROP retinopathy of prematurity

I have keratoconus and trying to explain how low vision is to people that can see is exhausting to the point i dont do it anymore. I spend majority of my time in my room sleeping feeling defeated. If it wasnt for my niece i would of tapped out a long time ago but i want to be there when she grows up. Thank you for your content im currently searching for a way to earn money without using my sight because the aids they give me have my eyesight degrading by the day.

I'm trying to figure out what I can do. Since my 3 retina detachments, I'm not able to go back to my previous career because it's too physically demanding with lifting, bending, and strenuous. My center vision is distorted, sore, also see flashes and bubbles floating all day. Trying to get any disability is so difficult. Doesn't seem successful. So, I need some kind of job.

I AM DIABETIC TYPE 1 AND I HAVE PROLIFERATIVE ADVANCED RETINOTOPY FROM MY SUGARS DAMAGING MY EYES............ I AM SO SAD I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO

I find selling in person works better than etsy. I know a fair few counsellors and masseurs as well.

I love this... I'm a designer with diabetic retinopathy

Great advice and information. Hi newbie subscriber. I have ONH/SOD. optic nerve hypoplasia/ septo optic dysplasia.

Hey I love love this video. It give me hope. Im totally in awe of what you do. I’m really struggling at this point. I’m legally blind and I am smart but I feel so trapped I have a mundane office job and I’m so bored. I want to do something more but I can’t figure out what or how to make it happen. I’m not good at anything in particular. I have always been busy having eye surgeries. I’m 34 year old women diagnosed which uveitis at age 4 and Glacoma at age 6

I recommend National Industries for the Blind. I got started as a Contract Closeout Specialist as a professional career.

I want to help you with sunglasses!!!

I also have star guards my last job I was a kitchen manager. Looking for a job now without an education, being blind with a high school diploma is tough for a job any suggestions?

Hi. I have a rare eye condition called choroideremia. What sight I have left is in my left eye. And, what I see is like looking through a straw.

Hey new sub. I know the video is old, hope this reaches you. I have retinas pigmentosa(RP) It cause my retinas to detach from my eyes so eventually I'll be blind. Night blindness, light sensitivity, nsar-far sightseers and flashes are some of my symptoms as well. I want to start making video content and would love some advice (software, presence, stcl. Thank you for what you do hun. God bless.

Can blind people be a veterinary doctor? Please reply...

Would love to hear about the editing equipment. I am leaving a message from my from my daughter's account. She has recently become legally blind.. We started college as the diagnosis began. As her mom I need assistance. She is taking a class that will require her to learn Adobe Premiere. So it will help would to know how you access it. I love how you talking about purpose. This is something I mentioned just last week at her college. And YES reading now difficult and we have been using Kurzweil. Unfortunately, it isn't always able to read assignments and has glitches. Do you know of a better reader. Writing this morning because I have been up most of the night seeking help to ensure that she is educated. She has always been low vision but being legally is different. I am my daughter's biggest advocate. Help regarding accomodations, resources and just how to go about life

This video gave me hope

Can you please help me out so I wanna have a career second? Have a better life for my kids

When people can work any job. I’ve just learned that God’s will for me to become a commercial airline pilot.

I feel like it's not equality when they want to "fill their quota" on blind people or diverse people. I am still planning on getting my Master's of Education in Family and Cobsuner Sciences. Stargardts was just discovered in me last year and my vision had gotten worse this year but I don't want to give up my dream. I just don't know how to do anything as a blind person and how to promote myself in a job, despite my vision problems. You'd think it would be against the ADA to not hire someone because we need more equipment but not sure how that works. Thanks for the video!

Good suggestions for persons like Us.? with disability. I believe that if we come together and support each other, we could even have a better stage to show our Talent... For example, what if we create a group or a website in where blind people can come to show their talent and what they are capable of doing so that others can See.!.

I am also a low vission blind person can i get your help how can i contact you
