  Sickle I. asked:

  We all know that some jobs just aren't good for people with Sickle Cell Disease but here's some that are...chef, baker, caterer, tailor, seamstress, graphic artist, fashion designer, real estate agent, architect, interior designer, freelance writer, freelance photographer, videographer, musician, computer repair technician, computer code developer. Any of these occupations can allow a person more freedom to work around the obstacles imposed by SCD and can even allow them opportunities to be their own boss. With a little help, we think that Sickle Cell patients can be very successful entrepreneurs! Let us know if you have other ideas.

  

  Andrea W. replied:

  Any career that doesn't involve being exposed to extremes of heat or cold could be suitable for someone with sickle cell. In addition to those listed, there are Researchers, Doctors, Lawyers, Accountants, Bankers, Office managers, etc. There are number of professionals working with sickle cell! Let's remember that when you work, you feel better about yourself and your contribution to society. Take the limits off! Education is the key! What are your interests? What do you love? What are you good at? There are a LOT of scholarships available for persons with sickle cell disease. Check it out at www.scinfo.org The more you know!
