Enviromental Engineer Student....Color Blind
(OP)
I am currently an Environmental Engineer student and I am color blind. How will this affect my employment opportunities when I graduate? I can see colors good but get confused with light greens and light reds. Please help me

Is there a newer method Enviro's use besides the inaccurate test strips? Me and 4 other people once argued whether the sample we were testing was an acid or base...everyone had their own opinion.
It's the 21st century and we're still using test strips?! Why not use a machine that is more accurate than human color "opinion"? That's really all it is...There's NO WAY you can tell if we are seeing the same thing...We shouldn't be wasting all that paper anyways...I hate when it gets soggy and falls apart

When in doubt, I just asked my wife who claimed not to be color blind, then blamed the reading on her.

My son is color weak, too, and can tell red from green, but has problems with shades like pinkish beige and greenish beige, yellow and yellow-green, or dark blue and dark purple.
Most normal vision people assume color blindness is all or nothing. Actually, most people with color vision problems have some degree of color weakness, not full color blindness. This has led to some people getting denied jobs they could do, or even getting fired from jobs they've been successfully doing for years.
