A lot of deafies lose their pride when they are unable to go up the ladder.
I know some deafies who have spent 10 to 20 years just to go up a rung or two on the ladder.
I read an article in the newspaper saying that more and more companies are now considering 40 hours as "part time" and expect their employees to work at least 50 hours in order to maintain "full time" status. With this as a problem, a lot of parents are choosing part-time jobs over full time since they can collect SSI/SSDI and still be home for their kids.
