Hello fellow CFer!

Regarding your questions. I live in the US and I've noticed many LJ CFers live in Canada so the job situation may be different. I know here, the best job for a CFer is a sit down office job, where no physically demanding labor is needed.

College for me hasn't been difficult at all, seeing that i haven't had any serious problems since i've been attending for 2 years now. For someone with more hospital time i'd definitely recommend online courses since colleges can be sticklers about attendance.

In the US the employer thing is tricky... Technically it's illegal to hire someone with knowledge of their ailments, and then dismiss them due to absences related to it. (Americans with Disabilities act) If you're sick very frequently, you'd qualify for government aid... Seeing as working a normal job grows more difficult, with more health issues.

Hope i helped. good day!
