Thanks! That's exactly what I did... I dismissed so many career options that I was actually excited about, and I ended up getting my degree in accounting, which gave me migraines and whenever I took exams. It might be harder to be a trial attorney or a journalist with a stutter, for example, than if you didn't have a stutter, but it's possible. People have done it. And if it's something you're passionate about, it's worth it to yourself to try. You might need to challenge discrimination, yes, that's possible. But as the saying goes, "don't negotiate with yourself before you enter the negotiation" (or something like that). I actually have a job now ...inadvertently.,. where I don't talk to anybody. I absolutely hate it. It's one of the worst things I could've ever imagined for myself lol. My passion is fully in communications, not Microsoft Excel.
