Hi, im interested in hearing first hand experiences people have of working and having a facial disfigurement.

What jobs do people do?

Are there jobs people have experience of that were particularly good for someone with a disfigurement?

You can honestly do whatever job you want to, your personality and strengths will shine through if you let them. concentrate on what you can offer, not on what you look like.

I have an extremely bad skin condition all over my face. I feel like if I perhaps worked outside and had less face to face time with people it would make life more bearable. People with my condition used to be sent to live on a leper island. I actually think this would be more humane than the current situation of being a de facto social leper that also needs go through daily humiliation.
