[Jobs] Wondering about aby blind Stenographers?

[Pamela Maxon]

Hi Nicky, stenography is a career that has long since bit the dust. 
Picture a company executive asking his secretary to take a letter as he
verbally dictates the content  to her...it was always a her.  <grin> 
You might want to bring that job into it's 21st century title, executive
secretary,  where you do everything on computer from letters to reports
to memos to minutes of a meeting to research, copying, faxing,
collating, etc.  If you do find any blind people working in this field,
or any one sighted, for that matter, I would love to hear about or from
them.  Good luck in your quest!  Continue researching medical
transcription if you enjoy (or don't mind) a job that is very sedentary,
requires excellent keyboarding, grammar, punctuation, spelling and
proofreading skills.  Accuracy is paramount.  A good book, in my
opinion, to check out a variety of career opportunities in the fields
where you have the most skills and interest is "Cool Careers for
Dummies".  It is easy to read, describes many mainstream and
not-so-mainstream jobs in short paragraphs and provides you with the
websites to each career's professional organization for further in-depth
research.  Good luck in your quest.  Pam Maxon

Hello.  My name is Nicky and I am trying to decide what my next career

should be.  I am going back and forth between Medical Transcriptionist

and Stenographer.  They're both about equal in my mind.  I was 
wonderinf if there were any blind Stenographers who I might contact to

see how they do there job.  I know some blind Medical transcriptionists

already.  If anybody has any ideas please feel to email me either 
privately or on the list.  Thanks in advance.
