    Hi, i'm just looking for some advice regarding careers/courses.
    Anyhoo, the problem is i found out that i have night-blindness(a herity condition). And in the future it will lead to tunnel vision. So im a bit lost as to what type of careers are kind of like eye-friendy!
    So any sugesstions?

    Not something that requires using dangerous/expensive machinery?

    But I suppose it strictly depends on what you're interested in doing, you don't mention?

    Anything that does not involve shift work; guards, fire brigade, army, pilot is the career for you. just pick something you like to do and do whatever it takes to get there.

    Do anything you want! I know I sound like a sap, but base your career on what you love, not what you are afraid might happen.

    Archaeologists don't usually excavate at night, and tunnel vision has never been an impediment to journalists working for certain papers ... in fact, it almost seems mandatory! :D

    They are good career choices. Aim for the moon (what you want) 'cuz if you don't make it, at least you'll land among the stars.

    Don't be worried about it, you will be grand! Choose what ever you want to do, and if you love it you will be able to do it whichever which way :)

    The stars are farther away than the moon.

    You know... Well if you shoot for the moon and you miss, will you not keep on going and eventually land among a star? 'Cuz theres no gravity??:D
