Gosh, I didnt realize that I opened the can of worms here! Thanks guys for fascinating opinions.
I wanted to make it clear that I was referring to those who already have part time job and wont take more hours as they don't want to quit SSDI even though they are with a well established agency.
I know that many do need SSDI or SSI ...not only the deaf but with other disaibilities. I am not here to judge their reasons but I do judge people who ALREADY have a job and can do so much with their jobs if motivated enough.
One thing I notice is that people on SSDI and working part time are not as movitated as others without SSDI or "security blanket" because they couldn't care less if they lose the job as they always have SSDI to fall back on. That frustrates me because we all have to take leap of faith in life and I see many deaf people dont have much faith in themeselves, whether it is in jobs or social life or whatnot. And I hear them repeating over and over how life sucks and how hearing folks are oppressing them.
Mind you, I am not referring to ALL of the deaf folks so don't take it personally
