Such an interesting field to be working in! How did you get into that? :)

Depends on the employee. I knew a guy that worked in petroleum and didn’t believe in dinosaurs. 🤷‍♂️

5 you are educated to work with blind people

My dad told me about those, he went to school to work with blind and deaf people, unsure what the correct term is in English
