I completely understand you wanting to pick a field that requires little interaction with people. However, it's super important to pick something you will enjoy! Life is short, and you don't wanna be stuck doing something you hate. As for me, conquering that fear of my stutter defining me is still an active task. Throughout my life(24 years old), I always felt like the odd one out. In school I was always the only one that stuttered, I even moved states 5 times! I'm honestly still amazed I'm yet to meet someone in real life with a stutter. Anyways... back to the main point. I'm currently working as a Software Engineer and completed my Computer Science degree. A lot of people think Software people don't have to interact with anyone, and that's a complete falsification. Every day I have meetings and discussions with project managers and my team. I have to explain issues with the software and give demos to the team as well. I try to minimize my stutter by practicing my discussions and I'll try and write down a script. I've found if I write down what I want to say and repeat it over and over, that I'll decrease my stutter by a lotttttt. When writing down my script, I'll also pick words that I generally don't have problems with and use acronyms whenever possible. In the end, follow your dreams and find your own path to success. Having a stutter definitely makes some things harder, but I no longer wish I wasn't born with it. It's made me into the person I am today, and I wouldn't want it any other way.
