Hey, when I was your age I would not even consider applying for jobs like that out of fear, you are definitely in the right direction my friend. In the past years I have realized that the only way out of stutter is through it. Today I work at an office job and zoom calls are apart of it, I can confidently say that I ate shit many times when I began working, but I reject giving up, because after a couple of humiliations (in my mind, other people probably don’t care) my skin is thicker and I care less because I have been through bad situations, the mind got used to it and when talking today I feel more relaxed which helps with the stutter. I honestly think you should apply and do interviews, “humiliate” yourself, practice, eat shit (not literally). it will make your skin thicker and future much better. I fully understand it is easier said than done. Good luck my friend! If you have any questions I would love to answer.
