[acb-hsp] How I Learned About Mainstream Myths About EatingDisorders Are Wrong

[JRAYL]

There still is not very much on the subjects of addiction and the blind. I discovered that several years ago when someone asked me about addiction and the deaf. There is just a world of opportunity out there for any interested person who wants to earn some extra money inthe research field. Ur do research and earn money, I should say. Really, if I were not working and had a Masters defree or above, that's exactly what I'd do—take a class or two in research if I needed to to efresh myself, then go for it—do research, publish it and get money! There are just many wide open fields.
