Trans/Alternative Gender Expression friendly careers?

[irish-deutsch.livejournal.com]

While I appreciate that probably a majority of contributors here are not European based...I am still interested in hearing others perspectives on Employment for Transgendered Individuals?my Therapist would like to see a career before sanctioning any hormonal treatment. and he is right..there is a life therafter to be lived whiich cannot easily be done without employment and thus money!...I am a qualified teacher and in the early stages of studying Psychology. However to secure a job as a Transgendered Teacher here..while not impossible..would be a very difficult task.. Ironicaly a lot of Ladies Fashion stores..where I would like to work..won't take me..because I'm a man! Was considering maybe Beauty Therapy? Maybe even focus on the Trans Market?.  I believe that the U.S.A. has a far more developed Trans culture than Ireland...which is really invisible in places... I don't expect miracles from anyone....but hey I who knows somebody might have a viable suggestion!
Thanks for all who take the time to reply
