What do you consider your greatest obstacle(s) to employment?

Are you a college graduate? If no, why?

Had you previously tried work/school after your injury and gave up? Why?

If you could pick any occupation today, what could you see yourself doing?

Greatest obstacle? I need four more surgeries on my C-spine. Not fair to employers to get the job and then take off a lot of time for medical leave.

College graduate? Yes. Two degrees. One Biology and the other Psychology. Minor in Physics.

Previous work attempt? Yes I tried to get into voc rehab, but they three times refused my application. See reason number one. They told me I needed to improve my mobility before they could help me.

Occupation? I have no more dreams. Imagination is dead. A workers comp doc said I can never work again, as did SSDI and The VA which put me at 100% (with IU just recently, thank you GOD in heaven).
