Career choices for the visually impaired?

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
I'm trying to figure out what to do with the rest of my life, and could use some ideas.

Currently, I have a green housecleaning business, which is going well but is ever-so-slightly impacted by my somewhat minor vision issues (slight distortion/wavy lines, tons of floaters, lower vision in poor lighting). I am thinking I could grow enough that I am not doing any of the actual cleaning, but that will probably take a while.

I also have a bachelor's in Sociology which is worth about nothing, some substantial experience as an administrative assistant at a non-profit that is seven years old, and that's about it. I'm thinking about grad school, possibly an MBA, but am wondering if I should plan ahead for worsening vision, which is a definite possibility.

Any ideas?

TIA!

Most jobs requiring much in the way of reading and writing can provide software to read for you. You could maybe try to change to more of a managerial role and hire people to do the parts requiring visual acuity.

My step-grandfather was mostly blind for most of his adult life and was a successful real estate developer, so that is something you certainly can do without seeing well.
