Michael Smith
I lost my sight when I was studying medicine and had to change career course. I qualified in 2017 and specialise in Real Estate.
Losing your ability to read and then deciding to qualify into a career where the written word is critical and you have to do so much reading might seem like a perverse choice; but I have never let a challenge put me off, and modern technology provides ways of accessing the written word, even for a lawyer. What is critical is to communicate openly and honestly about your needs and how your employer can ensure a ‘level playing field’.
