There is no such thing as a job for stutters. It depends on your level of stuttering and your confidence to speak. I am a software engineer and my job includes a lot of speaking but I am comfortable to speak with most of my colleagues. Sometimes I have to present something to various-sized groups of people and yes, the stuttering is way worse in these cases. But the importance is that I can do it and the content of my presentations is more important that my speaking. Back in days I was thinking about finding a job where I could not speak with anyone but this is no way. I don’t want to close myself in somewhere because I have issues with speaking. I don’t want to do a job which I will not enjoy. I will not be happy with this life. I think that’s important to find a job where you will be comfortable and happy. Of course you have to think about consequences but stepping out of your comfort zone is better than close yourself from other people.
