Holy shit. This thread is critical for anyone with career choices and is facing discrimination. Even the hearing face it. Let all show our skills and negotiation before being judged. Will read through later, but thank you, shel90, for making this thread. Should I go to a school like Harvard...

As the title and video says... "What would you do?" when it comes to job discrimination for the Deaf/Hard of hearing?: YouTube - ‪Job Discrimination for the Hearing Impaired, 'What Would You Do?' 2/4/2011‬‏ (Awesome video by the way! Please take your time and watch it!) This is for...

I'm aware of the posts from years ago, but that is awesome! A deaf chiropractor... what a career!

I just emailed CSUN as a prospective student wanting to see the campus and take a tour while mentioning that I'm deaf with cochlear implants. I'm very excited because they also had a Deaf/Hard of Hearing Additional application on their website; I immediately knew from just looking though the...

"So what school did you go to?" "I went to ______" "Thank you for your time." The fact about what school you went to can affect your job choices; for instance, if you want to work at Wall Street or be a special educational teacher at Gallaudet Uni, you must go to a "real good" school...

Hah! Nice you two met each other. That's the thing too. I'm worried about not able to help, interact other people out in the mainstream world/workforce, orally or even meet with a "love of my life" (Hey... not now!). I know I gotta dish out my Deaf situation at first, but it's not easy for me as...

I don't know if I should go to a deaf school since I grew up going to a mainstreamed school. I did great there, academically and socially (kind of). PFH, member here, said in another thread that one deaf guy went from a deaf school to Princeton. I'm looking for something like that in my...

Shoot. I have thought about that and it would be true. [insert good analogy here] (I can't think of one at the moment!)

You nailed it. I was always thinking about that when it comes to these schools. I want to learn a lot while over there with the great accommodations (I bet!) and have a great start in the workforce. I thought about CSUN because it's a mainstream school and has a deaf community over there...

I'm surprised, to be honest, because I thought that school would have strictly mute/voice off students at the very least and thought I wouldn't "fit" in as I grew up, orally. It's a DEAF school! But then again, don't judge the book by its cover. Do you guys know anyone that went to NTID or...

How good is Gallaudet University and NTID, academically and economically? Do they have a good record of students getting a good job out of school? How you check that or what is that method called (so I can Google for other schools!)? I'm looking at these Collegeboard books with a list of all...

!! I'm also thinking about what college to go to. I'm trying to take accredited classes that allow me to transfer to either CSU (CSUN, in particular) or UC (UC Berkeley) at this point. I'm so behind on College/Career/Major picks, yet on track with my accredited classes to whichever college and...

@dragonman Are you trying to put the key number for your product? Are you sure it's the correct key number? Look around on your product labeling. My Summer semester started today. English and minority group relations. Let's do it. Beat the system and get it done!!!

Thank you. On Reddit, I searched up on speed reading and found an application, spreader, (Free online speed reading software | Spreeder.com) and looks very simple. I gotta paste a section of whatever I'm reading inside the paste box and it'll take one word at a time as you play (at 300 wpm as...

I don't really "pronounce words in my head". Shoot, that's slow when you think about it. :S Any quick techniques? I'll just get a book lol. I feel behind and reading a book comfortably within a day would help me a lot. Especially a text book with information-packed chapters!

Speed-reading? Any more "fun" in reading a book is great. I'll check out and see if there's a Evelyn Wood speed-reading course related as of today and probably, Breakthrough Rapid Reading, book. Do you guys really read a lot of books really fast and UNDERSTAND what it was about? To me, that...

What the... This one guy, Howard Berg, can read about 90 pages in a minute and can have perfect comprehension of whatever he read. ... Is he NOT reading? What is this...: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=620BII22Jfk&feature=related

I tried the new Nook touch at B&N store. Wow! first time I have seen an eReader. It was shaped like a simple square compared to the Nook color (was right next to the new touch one). I immediately knew it would be easy to read the books with it and its e-Ink tech for a long time. I tried looking...

what is php? And is it worth trying to speed read? I spent couple hours at Barnes & Nobles (Love it! full of endless interesting books) and saw a book, Breakthrough Rapid Reading , read the "introduction" and looked great, but I checked out other books at the time, so... Read a bit of...

The eReader devices (Kobo, Kindle, Sony, Nook, and few more) has everything you want to have along with you when reading a book. Like a built-in dictionary, highlighter, actual print ink (eInk) reading (unlike backlit screen display which could get you tried and hard to see in sunlight), 6"...
