Let’s dive deeper into each path and explore the advantages, challenges, and key considerations for individuals pursuing these career choices.
ENTREPRENEUR HIGHLIGHT
This is Billy Price, after breaking his neck from a three-story fall in October 1996, Billy became paralyzed from the chest down and lost the ability to move much of his body, including his fingers. Not only did he suddenly face mobility challenges, but daily tasks that he tool for granted, such as putting on clothes, became much more difficult. Throughout the years he learned tricks for getting dressed more easily. But that said, the one piece of clothing that always eluded him was shoes – he never found a pair of shoes that he felt were both attractive and that he could put on independently
