What do you enjoy?

If you had a million dollars and didn't have to work, what would you do?:D I'd take the same route as Lawrence myself.

Don't plan on a career in a field that you don't love, no matter how much money you can make. I could be richer as a doctor or attorney. No doubt I could do the education requirements, but I would be miserable in those jobs.

Education is going to be the key for most. Generally you will need to look at minimally a bachelor's degree, and for many professions, and advanced degree. Are you into school? Do you have the past education to pursue this?

You may also want to look at a job where you can be an employee vs. running your own business. While the latter gives you more freedom, when you look at having to pay for your own health care, or pay for very expensive private insurance (if you can find it), you may find that being an employee has some real benefits. If you are self employed, it is also rare that you can make decent money working only 40 hours per week. The federal governement is often a decent option, but you are not going to get rich there. Benefits are fairly good though, and there is a real push to hire PWD.

You might want to do some reading in career exploration...simple books like "What Color is Your Parachute" may help you focus. Then see a career counselor to get for specific direction. Be sure you use any DOR/DVR services you are eligible for as well.

Adi you study with your mind, not your body. If my health holds up I will be returning to university in the fall. With the internet and many universities now offering courses and full degrees online, you don't even need to leave your house these days to learn--or have hands that work. Maybe something for you to look into? :)

visit your vocational rehab office. Not only will they help you pay for school if you decide to go, they should offer you a vocational assessment test to determine what you'd be good at and compare that with what you want to do. They can also get you at direct placement job, if that's what you're looking for, and help you get setup with transportation and anything you need to get their and they'll supply any equipment you need to work. It's a good program. I took my assessment test and scored really high and spatial reasoning and mathematics and since I was interested in engineering, they're going to pay for my schooling to become an engineer.
