I have been a chair 15 years and yesterday was my anniversary for my job. I've
been here 13 years. I used to be a administrative assisitant to one of the
managers for 8 years and 4 years ago i tried for another job and got it. I work
for the state. I can not tell you that is so easy cause it's not. I've been
sick 9 months straight from being hospitalized from pump infection, sever
spasms, 3 uti's, stomach pain, gallbladder removal & pressure points on feet.
My point is I have used all my vacation and sick time now i am on sick pool. I
have missed alot of work. I'm I worried of course. There is so many people who
need these jobs mine could be one just because i'm not here all the time. But i
could not imagine being at home not working. It gives me so much indpendence. I
love my job. So too answer question there are many jobs quads/paras could work
at. There are 5 people who are in wheelchairs that work here not including the
deaf mail man, plus 3
amaputee's and the blind kitchen cook. I am a c6-c7 incomplete. I type with my
thumbs grab phones when needed and all my equipment is all electrici. I learned
to do stuff because i wanted to work. So good luck if your looking for a job. I
think many people could work just a learning process. One day I will have to
quit because of disability but wont be anytime soon. :)

Todd is one of the many classic examples of the easy. That is why the more
difficult is so hard to explain.
I chose the easy way out by saying the "more difficult answer would be no."

Greetings Hosni,
Can a person, a quad, continue to work. The easy answer is yes. The more
difficult answer would be no.
But then again, in a perfect world.... I should be the President. (lol) I know
for a fact many Quads, both male and female who are actively employed. Some
are high Quads. Others are lower Quads. So many of them are not part of this
discussion board, for what ever reason.
Much depends on your knowledge, education and skills. If you don't have them
you have to achieve them.
Knowledge is power.
Best Wishes

I want to ask what a quadriplegic person can work after his injury to

What kind of work?
Take care
