Ok, so I want to know everyone's opinions on safe occupations for people with epilepsy. I'm currently in nursing school but I don't think it is going to work out =( I feel like I'm at a dead end! Any opinions would be so helpful!!
 
You know your condition better than anyone else except He who can walk on water I always say. Let your head tell you what your heart can handle. And don't let anyone discourage you! Despite people's paranoia (or close to it) I've managed to go through Firefighter 1 training, taken police training, Am certified as a First Responder, played football in college (in fact I started the league 'cause out Tech. College didn't have one), I help out with Defense and Arrest Tactics class as a role player for scenario testing (in other words have the students practice their newly-acquired skills on you), I'm also a County storm spotter....all on my own drive despite what everyone was scared about. Let yourself be the judge of what's safe for you depending on the severity and frequency. We have to stand up to society's ignorance to this.
