“What kind of jobs can VIPs do… if any?” This question probably comes to mind of many people, especially those who are not acquainted at all with visual impairment. After all, isn’t the sight the most popular sense of all?

Fortunately, VIPs can do many jobs nowadays, especially because of new technologies.
