Well in Finland, continuing my career as a Veterinary Nurse was put to a stop very quickly. I worked in Australia for many years in legal and then in veterinary nursing. After an assault, hearing is now completely gone. I was at school here in Finland (learning Finnish) and then came the citizenship test. I had to get a written doctor's report to exclude me from the hearing portion of the hearing / speaking / writing / understanding test.
I gained my Finnish citizenship, only to be told I am a "Deaf retard" (government's words) and that I will never work as a veterinary nurse or in any career here in Finland as we are "useless."
I now work as an author, publisher and book reviewer right here from home. My employer for reviewing is in USA but I am self-employed as an author and publisher in Finland.
