Do real jobs hire schizophrenics?

I’m a freelance computer technician aka gig worker. I have a number of small business and residential clients in the area. I’ve built office computer, home computers, setup networks, web design, etc… I spent this weekend designing and coding a website for a mortgage agent.

I also work as a delivery driver for a major corporation and last Monday they posted the stats for the drivers and I was #1.

So no, schizophrenia isn’t a deal killer when it comes to employment. It just depends on YOUR situation. Do you have symptoms? Can you handle a job? My employer doesn’t know nor suspect I have schizophrenia. Some of my computer clients know but don’t care and rehire me anyways. Others don’t know.
