What is a good job or career for a Epileptic?

Answer 1

In my opinion, defining a person's abilities and/or life choices by what type of illness they suffer from is coming at the subject from the wrong angle. I understand that, when epileptic seizures interrupt your daily or weekly or monthly routine, it might seem hopeless to be able to do anything you want without being hampered by the possibility that a seizure might take over the situation. Please continue to educate yourself about alternative therapies to rid yourself of the root problem causing the seizures.

In the meantime, you could do medical billing from home. You set your own hours and you can do it part time. So if your seizures are frequent you don't have to worry about your day getting interrupted. You can just start on the work again the next day and just make sure your reports are in by the end of the week.

You could also try a home based type business, like selling items on eBay like my sister-in-law who has a two year old and twins who are nine months old.

Personally, I recommend looking at Youngliving.org or christinakellyscents.com for education to help you help your body heal itself while making money in the process so you can do whatever you feel like doing instead of being hampered or caged in by an illness.

Good health to you!

Answer 2

Seek advice from a Careers guidance councillor. They will help you find a job in a area which you have some interest in.

As a rule epileptics should avoid jobs that involve heavy machinery, in dangerous surroundings, at heights (such as climbing ladders) or near deep water.
Careers are not available in some services, such as the police, military, aviation (pilot, traffic controller) or public transport (e.g. bus driver).

Jobs you maybe interested in is, keep in mind that some of these jobs do involve heavy machinery or other potential dangers.

Answer 3

If you can get into a medical office working front office staff I think that would be ideal, as long as your seizures are well under control I think this position would actually be the safest place to work.
