And not just sheltered employment, which I myself experienced for a number of years, but real, competitive jobs in fields we wish to enter. I’m getting my Master of Science degree in Rehabilitation Counseling and Psychology, assuming I actually survive the workload, but even if I don’t I think learning about the new approaches in this area will benefit me greatly. They say that much, definitely not all but much, of the difference in race and sex within the job market has now been minimized. And yet PWD still experience 70% unemployment, even though it has been shown many times that these individuals often work as well as their non-disabled counterparts. So yeah, I hope this country continues to strive towards more fairness for all of its population, not just those who happen to be well connected.
