I tried to avoid speaking in my last years of high school and first year of college too. I was offered an internship in journalism and have had a career in media for 10 years. Stuttering won’t kill yo...

Marketing circa 1994 I have been with the same company for 24 years and the role in which I spoke the least was when I was responsible for maintaining data in our electronic catalog. This would be d...

I got a degree in Marketing and work in a client management role, which just means I talk a lot. The stutter is always going to be there but I don't let it discourage me. Find something you like and d...

BS Economics and MBA, honestly the hundreds of presentations I’ve had to give has helped my stutter to the point where I am a decent public speaker and only have a slight stutter. My advice is fuck wh...

I'm doing medicine. It can be a struggle to speak with the patients but I've managed to gain enough confidence to do that easily without stuttering much. The thing I still struggle with is talking to ...

i have a phd in chemistry -- surprisingly more communication is required with my job (research scientist) but lots of time is also spent just working on and analyzing experiments...

I did Mechanical Engineering, which did involve a fair number of presentations. I'd echo Comp Sci as a good option - a lot of my fluent speaking but antisocial friends have jobs in that field without ...

It might sound strange, but Law isn't the worst. Lots of legal jobs are more about technical writing/drafting than verbal communication. OK for me as a mild/covert at least....
