When I was 20 I finished school and I wanted to study but my mother said no you are searching for a job. I got a job but finding a job is difficult everywhere nowadays but if you have epilepsy it's even more difficult because nobody wants to hire you. They have got fears that you might have a seizure in front of the machine for example but if you take some precautions it's no problem to work at a machine or whatever. My career in the same company I am still at, I started when I was 20. I am the leader for a small department and I´ve been with the same company for 18 years now. Besides my job I´ve started studying for the last 2 years and in 2 years time I want to finish my degree, hopefully, and then I plan to get a bigger department in the company if possible.
