I used to work with a C4 quadriplegic that had a Phd in Social Work and worked full time for the department of humans services. I have a paraplegic that works IT at my current job, and a manager that is 100% blind. I also used to take a ventilated quadriplegic to university where they were getting their degree in English teaching.

I pay something called HECS for university education .... the government pays your full tuition fees and then gives you 25 years to pay it off but only when you're earning in excess of $46,000.
