I've worked with blind people for over 6 years, we had a braille library, a study room, computers with voice software and so on.
I think the most blind-friendly field of study is history. Lots of texts, not as many visual abstractions as the others. I've got to know historians, psychologists, linguists who were blind, to excel at those fields you need to read a lot and blind people are great readers.
I knew a blind mathematician too. He was in college but he went there to pick up our highschool level math books, it was simply the only ones we had available in braille. Because of that guy, I think math is also an option, though it's a lot harder anyway, we take for granted how much we learn from graphics and other visualizations. Note taking is much harder too.
I met a lot of blind people who were massage professionals or in ortopedics. The older generation used to have jobs processing photographs or x-rays in hospitals, because the room had to be dark anyway, but with the digital age, that job does not exist anymore.
