NO!!😊 I think you should stay on your current route, and fulfil your dreams!! Who knows, the role will give you further confidence, and on a regular basis would give you the opportunity to refine your speaking skills- overtime I really believe you’d look back and wonder why you doubted yourself after all! I felt exactly like you. I have stuttered since I was 4. However, as I’ve gotten older, it has become notably worse (to me anyway). I’m studying a Bachelor of Medical Laboratory Science, and I thought of giving up many times because I was so convinced nobody would want to hire me. I applied for my first student Med Lab job last year while studying still, and it was the worst interview I’d ever done. I stuttered so much. I was rejected. I thought my time was over and I vowed to myself I’d give up on this dream and save myself from further humiliation. Fast forward this year: I found the courage and decided to try again! I INFORMED them of my stutter, And I got my first Med Lab job!!! Yes I stuttered. But I knew I would, and I embraced it. Basically, this was a long winded version of saying that it’s so easy to be intimidated by the futures we wish for ourselves/ our goals & careers by over analysing one small part of our identity. Please know that there are so many other features that would enable you to be an excellent flight attendant; your speech is not the make or break. By giving up you’ll never know- keep aiming! & I’ll watch this space- maybe one day I’ll be served some coffee on board by you😝
