For me, I want to work, I actually WANT to work, but the problem is I do not have experience and I know most of you guys say, "Don't blame it on your deafness" but I'm afraid I have to say this, yes I do blame it on my deafness. Don't get me wrong, I'm proud to be deaf, but it's just that there are too many stupid people out there in the world, not hiring people that might have potential to move up on the corporate ladder. They are stopping the deaf people from succeeding. I've been looking for an Information Technology position for 5 years, ever since Bush entered the office and look at me, I still can't find a job. I recently had a hernia operation and the doctor told me that I can't do any hard labor just yet till I recover 100% completely. Right now I might have another hernia and some of the doctors has overlooked it so chances are I will be back on bed, recuperating soon. I can't work in fast food restaurants because I sweat easily and I tend to get pimples too quickly when handling food with grease as well as get rashes. That's why I stay away from greasy food. I would gladly work at a place that is related to my career so all Bush have to do is help me find one and I will be happy. Have he helped me at all? No... SSI didn't help me at all. Believe me, if I had a choice between SSI and an I.T. job, I'd take the latter part instantly. EVEN if it pays me around 20K per year, I'd still take it, because it give me the opportunity to build my reputation as well as build confidence in me so I can move up. Can you move up if you are on SSI/SSD? Hell no... Even at times when I contacted a company about an I.T. position opening, they would say, "Ah umm.. even though your qualifications do meet our expectation, we need someone who can talk on the phone so good luck on your endeavors!" It's always about the phone?! why the fck do they need people on the phone for? I even made a suggestion, open up an e-mail account specified for me and I can take the "phone calls" via e-mail then solve it through e-mail. They thought it was too much. I even told them that one of my friends, who is deaf, is doing what I suggested right now and he's been doing that for almost 4 years. They haven't said a thing so it's B.S.

The point of this post is that I do want to work, but the problem is HOW? No matter how hard I try, I've sent my resume to over a million companies (maybe I'm exaggerating here but it's how it feel like to me) and I got only 5 to 10 responses about my resume and once they found out that I'm deaf, they drop me like hot potato in their hands.

So what. Get a job! Don't be picky with your job and you gotta start from any dirty jobs and then you will build it with your career.

Yes,,,

Dirty work is a good start...

Whoopi Goldberg worked at the Morgue...
She had to put makeup on dead people...
and then at the same time she did
some jokes on Comedy stand...
and she was so funny, she finally became
famous and rich.

So you gotta start from somewhere...

Even Jessica Lange was a waitress,
and act on stage in NYC, before becoming famous.

So there is nothiing wrong with working hard from
the bottom and work yourself up and up.

I would gladly pay plenty to see an asswhipping.

I am feeling so sad that this thread has been degenerated way off tangent lately same with the other threads here.

For me, I want to work, I actually WANT to work,
I understand....most people on disabilty do want to work! I remember reading that before mainstreaming was popular, deaf workers had a higher rate of employment then did the general population! Maybe that's due to the fact that in the past people found jobs through networking, and a lot of dhh kids are floating in empty space without a real network to feed off from.

RaveSteve if you are single and go for WWE. If you want to have a family or already had family and then WWE isn't perfect for you.
