Index Number: 14855 [This is from the Blink Talk Conference] Hello, I am Butch Bussen. I have written programs and worked with computers since 1983. I would like to hear from any of you who have jobs in the computer field or jobs that require you to use a computer. I am totally blind and am presently attending college majoring in computer science. I have no real idea of just what kind of jobs are available out there. I would appreciate hearing from you.

Index Number: 15069 [This is from the Blink Talk Conference] Hi Butch, Well, you've come to the right place, you're likely to get more advice/info that you could ever need. I am a computer systems analyst/programmer and have been for about ten years. It's hard to figure out exactly what your asking about, since the jobs out there for people in the computer field are generally programming. Sometimes main-frames, more and more networked PC systems, so try and get some experience with both. Also, try and get any work-experience you can for your resume, don't quibble about salary here, do it for free if you have to, but get something for the old brag sheet. Also, try your best to keep your grades up to show to any perspective employer that you're better than the average. If you'd like to talk more, I'll give you a call or send a cassette, or something, just let me know. -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!115!778!Chip.Orange Internet: Chip.Orange@f778.n115.z1.fidonet.org
