The best tip I can give to people considering this career is to make sure you have a heart for the work. This is not an area one goes into for great fame, great fortune, or easy work. I would also suggest that people research the company they are considering working for. Make sure they also have a vision that believes in the work they are doing. I would recommend this career to anyone who has a feel for people, who is comfortable with the disabled, and who has a vision in their heart that seeks for everyone to have opportunities to live a full and complete life. I would easily do it all over again adn plan to stay within my chosen field for a long time to come. Among the many pros of this job are making a difference in people's life, a great sense of satisifaction in helping people better their lives, an ability to change people's perceptions of those you work with, the ability to help the people one serves to open, explore, and broaden their lives in ways they never thought possible. The cons are the frustrations of dealing with people who have prejiduce against the disabled, those who don't know how to interact with disabled people, as well as navigating government pitfalls in trying to get funding. Doing the job within the red tape can often be frustrating. The greatest hidden asset of this job is the great rewards that are earned in seeing someone accomplish things they never thought possible. I also believe people do not truly understand how much government regulates and in many instances ties the hands of providers in relation to services available.
