Same as anyone, really. There's nothing serious that separates a stutterer from anyone else. Stuttering has always been a far bigger deal to me than to other people in my life. I also thought I could never work in a communications type of job. English was the only thing I was good at in school and I dropped the advanced classes to switch to science because I didn't want to have to speak in class. I was very lucky to get an internship offer from a family friend to work for a summer at a small town newspaper when I was 19, and I've been in journalism since (28 now, but took a year or two off since then to do more schooling). It was not easy at first. I distinctly remember asking my mom to run me over before my first day of work. I basically cried nonstop leading up to starting the job. I spent an hour trying to record a voicemail greeting on my cell phone saying my name and I couldn't do it without stuttering. Tons of bumps in the road, tons of scary situations, tons of bad stuttering, but I'm the only one who ever cared about it. I actually found that my stutter seemed to put other people at ease and they were quite open to talking to me and helping me out. Journalists can intimidate people sometimes, especially in small towns, but no one was intimidated by me. I was a polite lost puppy dog type of guy with a big smile, and that approach did well for me. It took years for it to get "easy" for me though. I still stutter just as much but it doesn't bother me anymore. I care a lot more about making money and doing my job. If you're into it, I suggest starting in small-town journalism away from home if you can. It's been an awesome experience for me. I've worked in eight communities now spread across Canada, which each had smaller towns next to them that I covered too. You get to learn so much and see so much of the world and its inner workings. I found out I love small towns. I reported in a town of 1,000 people and felt it was too big! I currently am editor and reporter (one-man office) of a weekly newspaper in a remote small town. The job has satisfied the travel bug in me. Anyway, go for it! It's never going to be easy and there's not a special pill you can take for those kind of life situations not to be scary. You just have to jump in and be willing to put yourself out there. Just like the water, it's shockingly cold at first but you get used to the temperature. Good luck!
