Best jobs for people with disabilities....Ummmm?

An interesting article appeared in Forbes.com today. 

Susan Adams shared a list of jobs for people with disabilities compiled by Tony Lee, publisher of CareerCast, a job listing and advice website run by classified advertising software maker Adicio.

A physician's assistant was included in the list along with the following comment: 

".......... where a disabled person might have first-hand experience and greater [sic] for patients with similar physical disabilities. Lee says this job can be especially appealing for veterans who may have lost a limb or have some limitation resulting from combat injuries, who may work with other disabled veterans."

Questions abound!

Who knows the "best" job for another person? Disabled or not....

And, don't many nurses and nurse practitioners have first hand experience with disability? Lost limbs? Or have limitations resulting from combat injuries?

Please feel free to share a thought or comment below....

Until next time,

Donna
