I'm so sorry to hear that... makes me sad for all of us. It can be so depressing and debilitating....try to keep in mind you're deserving of great things. If possible muester up the courage to be kind to YOURSELF by informing all potential employers of your speech impediment via either email or cover letter when you apply but certainly when your receive an invitation to interview--but assure them that you're up for tue challenge. Might I add that the US Fed Govt has a lot of jobs either as Govt Contractor or Govt Employe with translator specific roles. You may not have to speak as often per se, but they do offer some preference for those with "anxiety" (not for stuttering *I've looked) but due to your stutter you get overcome by anxiety. Whilst this may or may not be "true" exactly... it's worth a try. I wish you the absolute best on your journey.. I always wanted to be a linguist but due to my stutter, I cut myself short. I'm older now, and school is way behind me, but I love you're COURAGE to work in the translator realm to be a voice for others. Don't give up on yourself!! I can assure you, you're the perfect match for a role awaiting you. Keep applying. Look beyond your comfort zone. I love you, and I'm encouraged by your tenacity. ❤️ - carly
