Be brave. Never give up. Life is beautiful, don't let the silly stutter ruin it. Be curious, friendly, open. Don't let stutter make you closed and bitter. Stutter gave us one great benefit when getting to know people: it helps distinguish a moron from a decent person. Don't be mad at the morons. But be extra kind to the decent folks. It works, trust me. I am an engineer, 45, had a great career so far. Met tons of awesome people in my career, people who don't judge me by the way I talk. Sure, stutter is a handicap. But you can have a great life with it.
