I am colour blind- are there any jobs in forensics I would be allowed? What about biomedical science?
I am fairly certain you would be allowed almost any job in the entire world. Pilot is one of the few jobs that persons who are colorblind cannot have because they need to be able to differentiate between different colors of lights on runways and other planes because the colors are used for communication and safety purposes.
