[Jobs] working from home

[Chris Jones]

Dear Listers:
This is Chris Jones from Tacoma, Washington.  I recently retired from Clover 
Park Technical College in Lakewood, near Tacoma, Washington.  I am blind and 
was the Student Disability Specialist.  In this job, I advised all students 
about vocational programs.  With specific regard to Massage Therapy, I would 
make the recommendation that you try to go to a publicly-funded community or 
technical college, as many private schools will charge you exorbitant rates. 
Also, they may  or may not be accredited.  If anyone wants to contact me 
privately, my e-mail is chris_l_jones at earthlink.net
Yours in the NFB,
Chris Jones
