I think trying to fake being sighted is a losing proposition, whether initially successful or not.<p>What tools and devices are available now that help mitigate blindness (in a productivity sense)?  Are there certain areas of engineering where being blind is less of a productivity hit (vs. being fully sighted) than others?<p>There&#x27;s a lot of prejudice, sure, but there is also a desire on the part of large employers to demonstrate inclusiveness and diversity.<p>Are there blind peer groups or networks that can help in your search?
