What kind of jobs are available working with the blind?

I would like to go into some sort of field where I could work with the blind, but am not sure what jobs are out there that are specifically for the visually impaired. What jobs are there, and/ or how many ways are there to work with the blind?

What kind of jobs are available working with the blind?
I don't know much about that field myself, but I imagine there are all sorts of teaching jobs where you would assist people in learning techniques to maneuver through life. Perhaps working to train blind people to work with seeing eye dogs (the people need just as much training as the dog). A braille librarian. Why don't you contact organizations working with the blind to see what opportunities are available. I'm sure there are volunteer things you can do while you craft a career. Start here: http://www.hki.org/ which is Helen Keller International. Good luck, that's an ambitious and admirable career path.
