The computer industry*is* competitive for the most part. However, that should
not stop you from participating. look at me. I am blind and service computers
part time (self employment income) and do fairly well. it helps to also have
a part time stable job over at the food store. :)
as for your dad, is it his career, or yours?
(sorry to be blunt, but I really don't like it when someone tells me I can't
do something simply on the basis of my disability).
