Business Is a Best Bet for Young Disabled Adults 
While living with a disability might make it difficult to do some jobs, such as pool technician or day laborer, in the world of business, the sky's the limit. The only ceilings holding you down are the ones that you build yourself. If you are a young adult living with a disability, keep reading for advice on why starting a career in business is a smart choice.
 
Freelancing First 
If you do not know yet what you’d like to do, you can always start a freelance career. A few great options are to work in the PR field, handle customer service for large companies, such as Amazon, or lend your wordsmith abilities as a freelance writer. Each of these roles is in high demand, and you can usually find work using remote job boards, which cater to freelancers. As a freelancer, you can build your resume and dabble in different areas of interest.
 
Degrees that makes sense 
No matter where you want to go to school, the number and types of degrees available can be overwhelming. In business, a few that can help you land the job of your dreams include:

• General business. A general business degree covers many of the basics you need to work in any industry. Your coursework will cover everything from communications to customer service and how to build a great team.

 

• Management information systems. If you have a head for IT but also realize that it takes people to run a business, a degree in management information systems is for you. According to Texas A&M University, MIS may involve computer coding, project management, or data analysis.

 

• Accounting. Accountants are numerically-inclined professionals that work with companies to determine payroll requirements, manage accounts payable and accounts receivable, and prepare financial statements. If you have a knack for numbers, accounting skills are transferable across all industries. Career Explorer notes that there are several different types of accounting, including forensic, investment, and fiduciary.

 

• International business and trade. Thanks to the internet, the world is a much smaller place than it used to be. And a degree in International Business, Trade & Commerce can help you achieve a salary of more than $140,000 per year with a role in sales or management analysis.

 

• Marketing. Marketing is the process of getting a business's products and services recognized and purchased. With the transition to e-commerce, online marketing pros are more in-demand than ever. A degree in marketing will help you understand everything from how content placement affects a website's ranking to the sentimental words and images you can use to promote profits.​​

Working While In College 
Many up-and-coming professionals may find that, like freelancing, working in an internship during college can help them decide what they’d like to do. To find either a paid or unpaid internship, start by networking with your family, friends, and even your college advisors. Another option here is to attend career fairs, where you can speak with local employers to find out if they have any positions available.
 
People of all abilities have more opportunities than ever to find a lucrative career to support themselves and their families. Whether or not you choose to start with college is up to you, and you can always entertain a few freelance positions before you make a commitment. Still, going to school remains the best way to learn the skills and have the proper credentials for a career that you can love.
