Ah! I understand now. Thanks for the clarification. Let me throw in a bit of trivia, though, that might be of interest. You are right -- we hope that everyone will find a situation in life that is of interest to them, for that is what makes it worthwhile to work to excel in that field. But research has shown that, at least in the case of LD students, they tend to choose their majors (and, by extension, their career path, based on things that CAN'T do well, instead of things they CAN do well. They look over the options before them and say, "I can't do that... I can't do that... I can't do that... hmmm... I can't see anything I can't do there, so that's what I'll go for!" It is too bad, as it doesn't give the same will to succeed if the interest level really isn't high. People with disabilities often have the interest WITHOUT the skill set. Some will succeed and some will not. I suppose that is true of us all! (Smile)
