Hello
I m quad c4 complete.
I would like to find job available for me.
I would like to work at home with my computer.
Anyone who can help me with a good idea?
Thanks a lot

Steve, what type of job experiences do you have? What level of education do you have, and in what field? What are your interests and talents? Have you met with a vocational rehabilitation counselor? Is there some reason you must work at home? While this may be more convenient, it does limit you a lot in job choices, esp. if you need to be financially independent, and it also limits your social contacts a lot (one real benefit of working outside your home).

Hi KLD
Thanks for your message
Before my accident, I worked in Pulp & Paper Mills. (lift truck driver)
I studied in College (Financial-Administration)
But it s long time ago(16 years ago)
The reason that I want to work at home is that I m completly paralysed, so it s not easy for me to leave home for a job...
If I could find something interesting on computer, it would be great
Thanks again
Steve
Steve, it sounds like you have a good background in both education and a work history. This will help. It is much easier to start working at home after you have already worked for an employer in a regular workplace. Have you got a voc rehab (DVR, VR, etc.) counselor. Have you met with them. This is important as the state may help with retraining (perhaps book-keeping) and even may pay for the schooling and transportation for this. Is there no decent para-transit in your area. Do you have a good power chair.
(sorry...the question mark on my keyboard has gone fritz!)
