LOL. That LOL wasn't to laugh at you, but to laugh with you when you realize that we are a special breed and we should only be motivated to prove something to OURSELVES. I am pursuing my MBA and a career in management, where I will be presenting like it's my full-time job... Oh wait it will be. ​ We can live in our heads or we can live the lives' we want to. Your work, work ethic and drive as a person is what will land you the job you want. Not the fact that you stutter. I have worked in corporations and landed positions that I couldn't imagine with my stutter in the business world. You would be surprised how many people are impressed when you're asked the question "What's the biggest challenge you've faced/what's your greatest weakness?" That question is a freebie to win over whoever is interviewing you, because they will connect with you on a human level if you choose to openly discuss your stuttering. ​ All the best, I don't know you, but I have no doubt you will land the successful career you want.
