I got my BA in English in 1976, 5 years post injury. I started teaching at

rewarding, and the health insurance would be impossible to get otherwise.

I got my BA in Math in '72, looked for a job for 7 years and finally got
hired by Honeywell in '79. (I taught school a little in the middle but the
money was skimpy compared to corporeate pay.) I worked for HW for 25 years
at which point they dumped me for cheap foreign labor. I am a c3 incomplete
and don't have any major problems with pressure sores or sediment. Lucky I
guess although I'm pretty active. Not sure I answered your questions or
not. Oh BTW, I understand the max SSDI is around 2000 a month, although I'm
still curiouys as to if that will be taxable income next April 15th. I just
started this in Jan.
