and ur point? they can still be accessible..Dennis said:
My point is what is up with Deaf schools being cut off by the money we get from Washington DC or on the state level and then the money is funneled into these jobs that are of no help to Deaf people.
Nesumth, maybe you could look into this since you work for a Deaf Advocacy agency and I was hoping somebody would notice something wrong with the picture.

I'm asking for a debate on these positions relevant to how easy it would be for any deaf person to acquire the requisite skills, education and training to do these positions.
One example, the first on the list: Audiologist. Does it require good hearing to evaluate others with possible hearing problems? Are there certain barriers to entry that deaf people need to be aware of before pursuing a career in audiology? Will having a hearing loss be a benefit or a detriment to attracting clients to their practice? Will the level of education needed to practice limit the number of potential deaf applicants?
I have other concerns, but my first and foremost is this: Only 2 of these careers do NOT require college degrees of some sort, and many require advanced degrees such as Master's or PhD's. College is very accessible these days for deaf students, but is it affordable? Are colleges more accessible to mainstreamed individuals than those who graduate from a deaf institution?
