I'm a lawyer but I'm applying for a job right now. I'm interested in litigation but for obvious reasons I hold back from following through. Thus, I am hunting for jobs in the field of corporate law, which itself will come with it's own good share of talking. Getting by is not a problem, but what scares me is being "precise" or saying things verbatim, such as laws, rules, regulations, etc., a trait that is indispensable in our field. For a good time I held back from applying to places because I kept coming up with an excuse to shift the focus away from my stammering. I kept telling myself that I am not good enough yet, I need to learn such and such area of law before I start working. But these were all excuses that I was making and still continue to do so somewhere inside of me.
