They don't. That's the fact of the matter. And to be quite frank I think Voc
Rehab tends to do more harm than good more often than not. The give te
employer the impression that we can't be taken seriosly.
But thou must!

Hi Ken I have been applying for jobs for about a year and I had only 2
interviews one at Target and one at the goodwill. It seems like no one
wants to give us a chance.

This post implies that blind people are lazy and not looking. I recently
put up my resume at every spa, beauty salon, doctor's office, and so on
that was in the area. I even went to a few salons. One hair stylist
actually had heard of me, and said she heard I was the best massage
therapist around. I was flattered and figured i'd get the job for sure,
but did I? No. Not even a callback explaining why.
So what am I going to do, take all my excess money and sue for sexual
discrimination? After all, nobody wants a man touching their bodies. The
guys want women, and the women want women. Or should I sue for blindness
discrimination? I don't think I can satisfactorally prove either case
beyond the shadow of a doubt.
My point is that there are blind folks looking for jobs and not finding.
Yeah, it's easier to stay on SSI, but is it desirable? Is it conscionable?
Are we getting fat and rich on the system? Absolutely not.

Tom,
I agree with 95% of your post below. Developing games isn't a walk in the
park, financial or otherwise. But there is one comment you made that I
want
to underscore.
"Developing high quality games costs lots of money. Far more money than
the
average blind American collects from SSI checks each month."
Absolutely true, which is a great incentive for blind people to get jobs.
Ryan
