You WILL get a job even with a stutter. Speech therapy can do great things. For me it was less about speech therapy and just therapy! Even my speech therapist admitted they did less exercises with me and just let me talk about how my life because I just needed the confidence to talk. I didn’t care about my stutter - and I have a mild stutter that doesn’t affect me much so I have that privilege. I encourage you to get both, speech therapy and therapy when you can or want to. Stuttering is tied so much to how we feel - anxiety and stress can make it worse for many people that having an outlet for those can help it from coming out in your speech as disfluencies. You’re going to do amazing things.
