What's the earning potential of Ambidextrous Quadriplegics ...

There is an article in Slate stating that left handers make more money.

I wonder if this applies to left- handed quadriplegics.

Actually I've always been ambidextrous. This was inherited from a few relatives who, a few generations back, I am told, were real artists. One was a painter, another was a talented seamstress.

I have no talents in either direction, even prior to my disability. But I am left- handed.

I'm in good company. THere are lots of famous left-handed people - like Ruth Buzzi, Matt Dillon, and Tom Cruise.

The 38th, 40th, 41st and 42nd President of the United States were/are also left- handed.

Under miscellaneous left-handers is listed Joan of Arc and Helen Keller. (I think that's where the quadriplegics might also be listed.)

I wonder if being ambidextrous disqualifies me .....

I think you should sign up for a study. Of course they would have to find enough ambidextrous quadriplegics so that might make the test group null. Oh well.

That's quite a diverse group there. I'm sure there's room for an ambidextrous quadriplegic in there. How's it going Ruth?

Yeah it does - cheater! You'll have to find an ambidextrous list of famous people.
