My office just hired a blind person

Literally full blown Stevie Wonder holding a walking stick blind.

Their role is a social worker (!) role and they have to visit clients at their home in the community, so my manager has to ALSO hire a helper for the blind person to type for them, set up assistive tech, drive them everywhere, guide them through patient's homes, and I saw the tech talking on the phone for them today (the one thing I'd assume they actually could do).

I don't want to dox myself but I cannot describe how ill-suited this industry is to a blind person.

Interesting question. What jobs can blind people even do? :marseythinkorino: Deafs and mutes can still perform most tasks in a given job, but blind? You're kinda fricked.

Gov/company admin jobs, call centres, radio and TV are pretty good options, the assistive software for PCs is great actually I used to use the speech to text to write essays

Probably something over the phone. Some sort of information assistance, but they'd have to memorize it from braile or audio or something.
