All jobs require communication skills. Running away from your current profession is avoidance behaviour, and risks are becoming a trend. At some point, you need to stand your ground and overcome the challenges you are facing. I was an engineer and am now a software architect. On my first day, I struggled in the stand-up meeting and my manager asked if I wanted to be exempted. I said no, it was important to contribute and overcome the situation. I got more comfortable over time, became a senior engineer, then a team lead and now an architect. Each step up requires more talking, and I get more comfortable as I practice. I am not trying to underplay the difficulty of doing this. You will feel a lot better when you stick it out and see that progress. You should really consider speech therapy. In one of your comments, you talk about how others feel sad for you. You don't know what others are thinking, and it is common for people who stutter to reflect their personal feelings onto other people and see things that aren't there. A big part of speech therapy these days is desensitisation and acceptance. I kind of feel you would benefit a tonne from both of these activities.
