Learn from the mistakes of others

sure. i got jobs.

great meaningful jobs like reshelving books in a library. i did some research on occasion too. but neither has potential for a career. and both were prefaced, by my employers, with: "this is all we have - you should look elsewhere for full-time work". to go further in the library i'd have to do yet-another-degree/diploma™. and the research work dried up last year (i'm considered to be overqualified - that's "para-legal work").

i'm looking for full time work, five days a week. 38-40 hours or so. and pay commesurate with my qualifications and skills. earning $17-$20 hour sounds great, until you figure it for six-eight hours per week. and i could be on $40k+ ... instead of $7-$12k. even part-time i'd be on $20k.

and i have been applying without mentioning aspiness. so far, the only interviews i've got have been with govt - and disclosure.

what i'm trying to figure out is how to best describe what asperger's actually is ... it's not as though i'm incapable of lawyering - i've just gotta get past the damn door sometime so that i have a chance of showing it.

if anything, my 'disability' probably makes me better suited to certain kinds of lawyering ... [oh please, not the tax office, oh please]
