Discovery Zone was the most awesome place on the planet when I was growing up. If I were to win the lottery or somehow manage to come upon a large sum of money, I'd invest in opening an adult-sized fun house like DZ. No kids allowed.

Based on your attitude and general outlook on life (yours, in particular), I'd say you would make a great inspirational speaker. I don't know about the pay, but you could surely touch a lot of lives and squash any misconceptions people may have about people with deformities. Because honestly, you're cool as fuck, and I doubt many people would bother taking the time to go out of their way to find that out about you. You're strong and brave, and can use those qualities as tools to help others find the strength in themselves to overcome their own hurdles in life.

Best of luck with everything, my friend, and thank you for doing this AMA!

P.S. I'm about to get my Bachelor's in Psychology as well. Fuck Yeah to us.
