I agree... Like not only did I drop a program that I loved..I'm now missing out on a great career and SO many opportunities that would have come with it. I don't mind staying in the bank because it's a good career too and I can progress in the bank and move up but I don't LOVE the bank unfortunately. Even the bank I struggle because I deal with customers face to face. I am going into a personal banking officer training where I deal with mortgages, credit, etc and I'll have to actually call customers and talk to people on the phone...I don't even use the phone...
The bank does, however, pay for adaptive technology so I can get an amplified phone or tty or vco phone or whatever .. I'm just seriously hoping I won't have to actually wait 3 years and/or win the lottery and just go to the states..if I lose any more hearing I'm up sh*t creak with out a paddle ...
I'm starting ASL but unfortunately most of the world doesn't use ASL.
That's what I found with BSL that altho I know it, no one else but my deaf friends can use it. 99% of the time I never use it. I come from a hearing family basically. Some of my extended family are deaf but they all live in Texas as both my parents are American.
Are you not going to go back to nursing then? I don't know how it works in Canada but when I did my sport course at university, at the time I also had a serious sport injury to the ankle so one part of the course I was not able to do but I could still past the course as the examiners allowed me not to do it. They used a certain word but can't think what it was.
Could your course do something like that with the BPs, more so coz you mostly use machines now.
That's good that the bank will bring in equipment that will help you. Mine bought in a FM system so when I deal with people, I place it on the table in front of them and it picks them up well.
I also have a lip speaker when there is training coz my training is on water so can't wear HAs.
