Again, says who? Do the mentally challenged universally care about pride in their work and purpose? Isn’t a pointless job still pitiful? Some people are excluded from being paid the minimum wage and in some cases are exploited. That’s likely not in many or most cases, but my point is that I doubt the jobs were created with the mentally challenged in mind. |

I personally know some. I've seen some profiled in the newspaper. I know of programs that match them with jobs.

Universally? There are always exceptions. But plenty do, just like with everybody else.

I've seen them, for example, working as ticket takers in movie theaters. Nothing wrong with that, and it's a job that still needs doing.
