Dear Patrick and Tommy,I am writing this letter to inform you that I am very pleased to view your "Talk About It - Unemployment.I have a few things to discuss something what I view this video.Firstly, I am shocked about the deaf unemployment rate is more than 60%. It looks like more than half of Deaf Americans are using SSI. It is very sad.Secondly, I totally agreed with your videos about the Job Interview Tips. But, I want to share something may shock you. The employers have a right to hire disabled employees with the limited percentage. However, the law allows the company to have 15% of the overall employees. For example. There is 100 workers. The boss have a right to not hire if s/he has already 15 disabled workers. It is legal! It is the most problem in America.Finally, I want to tell about myself. I am only a deaf student in DeVRY University at Chicago to achieve my major Computer Information System with emphasis in Security. I also want to earn the dual degrees, but the deans refuse to approve because DeVRY needs more money if I start over to take another four years. I already took them already, but I just need to get another 3 more classes to get double degrees. I did research and found the possible ways. I did not know that private university and public university have the different process for the dual degrees program.Your Sincerely,Wojciech

i believe that all senior in HS and College should work with all the studen in senior to prepare for job in the furture. as for HS if they want to go colleg then school should help them to prepare for that before grand and for who want to work,should help them do that before grad. and for college they should help the student to get ready for their job when they grad. bec me imma 2003 and i dont see no teacher concer abt any of us getting ready for our future. so they should get that setup and help the kids to prepare for it.

I really agree with your opitions about dressing nice and being aggrastive; dont mean a cruel personally but showing a action that person can do the better than being on the loose muscle that boss would be interested for a person with a motive interesting into taking job. I been having diffcult time motiving with those jobs which most my fear for their company judging my hearing loss being deaf. which i am the mother of my two daugthers. and still using ssi. my goal not to give up to get my full support to get my best job and have a filling life to support for my families. I really pleasure with your helpful thoughts in your nsn opition it really got me into a ideas of doing something before to late. Have a nice day! God bless =-)
