Angela, There has actually been a lot of research on how people -- all people -- choose their areas of interest when it comes to work. With one exception, students with disabilities tend to gravitate to their strengths. They either move toward areas that depend on the things they are best at, or they move toward areas that are of high interest for them, and therefore places where they are willing to work harder to overcome their limitations. Surprisingly, the exception is students with disabilities. They sometimes choose their majors on the basis of what they DON'T do well. They look at their options and say, "I can't do this. I can't do that. I can't do this. I don't see anything over here that I know I can't do, so I'll give it a try!" Dr. Jane Jarrow
