It’s hard to say . Everyone with Epilepsy is different. Some of us are seizures free , some may have mild seizures , some may have moderate seizures, some severe seizures, some of us may have all frequency seizures.

How controlled are the seizures and how often to you have them ? Are they fast and short or do they last a minute or more ? Are your Seizures easily triggered by stress ? Take all they into consideration when find work , job , career.

That will help you , figure out how high consequencial job your willing to work.
Know what skills you have and how low or high the risks are, with the one or more type jobs.

Sorry that I didn’t mention any type of career , work or job , but it is different for everyone , on what kind of job we choose and what risk we are willing to take.

That depends on your skill level and what are you good at. I would say that for anyone with epilepsy would be to try to get a job doing some Data Entry. I used to work for a Recorder's Office. I was helping Data Entry to key in all of the Vital Records that came in to be recorded in the county. It included Birth Certificates, Death Certificates, Marriage Certificates. And occasionally Fictitious Business Names. There is very little stress but there is plenty of work to do.

Is it possible for you to work at home? No job I’ve encountered would hire anybody who states on the application they are epileptic. Liability issues abound.

All The Research I Looked Up I Couldn't Find Anything, I Wish I Had Me A Few Places To Volunteer, Except I Live In A Crooked City.
