It is always sad to see people wanting to go easier because of their stutter but trust me that feeling can extend to anyone. My cousin wanted to change to a gym instructor from a physician assistant but stayed the course and has long been at work now making a multititude more than the easier alternative. Our minds just want to keep us safe but what ever you go for, it is all the same. We get used to it one way or another. I wish I had done sales much earlier in life but I was scared shirtless with my stutter. My first time I cried and everything else felt so much easier compared to it that I said its just not for me. To my surprise, my co workers who did sales said their first sale they felt their heart would come out of their chest but they said over time they just got used to it and don't even think much of it anymore and it's an easy job. That made me realize my fear has to be engrained and more than just my stutter, I'd probably be just as scared as them without it. That angered me enough to stay the course. I'd stutter always in the beginning but I knew I was a nice guy and it would show through. Now I've sold 100's of thousands in work and somewhere along the way, even though I still stutter, I can say my name again fairly easy. Sometimes I barely stutter, sometimes I don't stutter at all, sometimes I stutter throughout the whole thing, the only thing that determines the sale for me now seems to be the price and what they can afford. I'm pretty sure they see I'm a nice guy, we have a reputable business with great reviews, we do great work, lol, I'm smiling either way and like to always assume the best, am just there to help, and that's all there is to it. What ever you do, the growing pains is the same. May as well make it worthwhile for you and when you eventually get used to it, you'll wish you started earlier because fear, not your stutter, is all that is holding us back!
