I have a disability that makes it impossible to do physical labor. This is not a handicap as it does not get me down. I too have had problems getting employment. Even with VA vocrehab sending me to college, the job prospect aren't that great. One think to remember: We are abled in various areas, disable in only a few. We make excellent employees, dedicated and more loyal than most. Have a good positive image of yourselves and you can accomplish your goals. I started my own business because of my unemployability due to the disability I have. It isn't going at full speed but I am learning from my mistakes and eventually, this business will succeed.... -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!231!230!Bill.Mccullen Internet: Bill.Mccullen@f230.n231.z1.fidonet.org
