Hi;
True lots of opportunities are drying up but I do think that 
there are lots of new ones out there.  I retired in 2007 because 
I could.  By 2009 I got boared and needded a parttime job.  Ended 
up with a rather strange parttime job doing telephone work but 
its relatively brainless and works with window-eyes.  I suggested 
to the local rehab types that they might consider sending other 
folks this way.  The answer I got was that we don't really have 
anyone looking for employment.  Hum.
As for screen readers, I worked for a federal agency for 32 years 
and they wouldn't deal with anything but good old jaws.  Often 
wondered if its the name job access with speech that gets these 
people so into jaws.  I'm not a jaws basher but gave up on mine 
because just couldn't keep up with the updates and didn't really 
see what some of the updates did.
Also speaking of jobs has anyone noticed what is being charged 
for apple training over the phone? 30 to 45 per hour isn't 
uncommon.  Now there's another opportunity.
