Hi Ashok,
I think the answer to your question depends very much on which part of the world you ask it in.
In western countries, where treatment is widely available, many PWH do not have to worry too much about what kind of job they will get and hence what education they should pursue.
In other countries, where treatment with factor concentrates is not an option, most PWH should probably choose an education that will allow them to have a job that is not stressful on the body.

Personally, my education has been in engineering with a focus on software development. That allows me to hold a job, where no stress is exerted on my body. Actually, I have the opposite problem, namely that I sit still too much of the day, so I really have to force myself to exercise in my spare time. Without some exercise, I would increase the risk of bleeding episodes in joints and muscles.

Does your haemophilia society or your doctors recommend some forms of education over others?

Hello Ashok

I would agree with Cicero. The availability of factor is a big deciding, well factor. Also the level/severity of Hemophilia.

What line of work would u like to go into?
