I'm not sure I understand your problem. Is your brain below the waist also? Otherwise, you SHOULD be able to do just about anything an able bodied person can.

Many people seem to lean towards computer and IT jobs. My main advice is chose something that is interesting to you and that you would be prepared to spend hours of your free time working on.

First of all let me congratulate you on completing 12 and your desire to study further :specool: . There are wide variety of subjects available for you to study, but the important thing is to identify your interests and where you want to be in life. Not every one in Air Force are pilots and nor every one is physically fit. Set your goal first, then look for training / courses to reach your goal. Not every job are suitable for a disabled person, but nothing stopping you from becoming a Radar operator, office assistant, Manager or computer technician etc and you could well be working for Air force.

Computer / IT field is a good and can be studied remotely. I consider IT job in 3 fields, 1. Software developer, 2. Database administrators, 3. System administrators (or so called hardware engineers). There many sections in each category, if you are interested I can try help you choose your subject and training.

You have to do what you have never done before

Santos, if you decide to look at IT or software design/development/programming, even the hardware end of the computer business, send me a msg and I'd be glad to chat. I've been a software designer/developer/tester for nearing 30yrs, there are a lot of opportunities for training, online and self study available to you.

If you would like to try your hand at programming, the book/link below is a good place to start. It uses the Ruby programming language for it's lessons/exercises; Ruby is one of the easier, yet powerful, object oriented programming languages to learn and it's free to download/use.

Learn to Program, 2nd Edition by Chris Pine

PS. The above book can be purchased as paperback or in electronic form...PDF, etc.
