Stuttering is certainly ONE of the traits that DOES define us because it's something a part of us!!! But we are also defined by are personality...our kindness.....!!! Indeed stuttering CAN prevent you from getting certain jobs that require immediately fluid speech....say a cop....you need to be able to be very fluid on the radio and "drop your weapon!" "freeze".....if a stutter DOES NOT prevent you from getting the job you want then it surely must be pretty mild!!! But others with more severe cases might need gigs with LESS interaction!!!
