I know a few deaf people who have college degrees but after getting turned down for a job, they give up just like that. That's sad.

That's where those old societal attitudes toward deafness come in, and where the medical model for defining disability still influences the treatment of any one with a difference. But there are those who tell me that isn't so, and it just doesn't happen. Go figure. Maybe they need to spend some time in the real world!
