Have you all noticed the age of our VRTs?? Not to mention that most O&Ms leave direct practice for administrative positions as soon as they show some gray-LOL. J This time of year I get oodles of requests from employers in vision rehabilitation and education- Hunter College can't fill them because all of Hunter's graduates are immediately absorbed into a giant vacuum of stable employment. J I am not sure how we can meet the growing demand for VRT, O&M and TVI professionals. Does anyone have any good ideas? I know that Fall Registration Deadline for Hunter College is in March - maybe we could all encourage a friend to consider checking out one of the programs in the field?? Replace yourself - that's our motto! It is easy at Hunter as our distance learning program allows folks to live at home and attend in real time through video/audio weekly classes. No matter what- remember your alma mater they want you to replace yourself too!! Encourage someone to make the call today for a rewarding career as a VRT, O&M or TVI!! What do you think?
