I honestly don't know what to do after university
Hello,
I feel bit overwhelmed and I don't really know what to do so I'm posting here. I'm in university right now I am wheelchair bound and about 2 years away from graduation. I'm not sure if I can get a employment after university. The only thing that I know is how to study.. in all fairness that's what I did for my entirety of my life. I did have summer jobs here and there but that's pretty much it. I am really confused about how to navigate the job market and of course I have my dream job but I would be more comfortable knowing what kind of jobs that I can do pretty easily in terms of entry positions. Realistically what kind of jobs can someone in my circumstance do as an entry position while I figure out what to do in my field of study? Or in other words I need a backup just so that I know I can work.
Thank you so much for your help!
It kind of depends what country you're in. I know in the US, discrimination against someone who is disabled is downright illegal. Most universities have a career counseling center. If yours does, I'd probably start there. Also, my state has a Department of Aging and Rehabilitative Services. They do a lot of work assisting with job placement for people with disabilities. Your health provider should be able to provide phone numbers of agencies if you aren't sure who to call.
Being two years away from graduation, I wouldn't stress too much about employment. You will probably learn more about job opportunities in your last years; depending on your field of work, you may even have internship opportunities open up.
