Dude there are gay people who are pretty flamboyant and that's just who they are. They have a really rough time finding employment in the south. I know my boss doesn't hire girls because he's wife won...

I already tried that and the stammer followed me to the new job. And it's not an excuse, when you can't communicate to do your job it becomes a problem....

I'm really sorry your having a hard time finding employment. Many people right now are still struggling to find a job that there either qualified for or pays a livable wage. There are many feminists &...

I chose my studies based on the fact that stuttering affects employment negatively. I'm currently studying network engineering and it's pretty common knowledge that a lot of engineers are not the stro...

When having limited communication ability limits you to low paying jobs it's real. How can anyone be happy wallowing in poverty and having to work a dead end job nonstop for peanuts? I know for a fact...

Hopefully not too late to reply. I am as well CS student, getting bachelors in few months. Had job interview two weeks ago for my first full time job over the summer. I stuttered some, but neither t...

I'm really not into this stuttering acceptance bullshit like "it's part of you, it makes you unique, etc". Fuck that. I see stuttering as an annoying fuck that I must continue fighting to have somewh...

I'm not going to give the same tired bullshit advice of "Don't care about stuttering!, put yourself out there!" because everyone knows that advice is shit and doesn't have a foot in reality for most. ...

I have an email in with my career center to set up a mock interview and critique my resume. Once I do a few of those, I am going to try my hardest to get an internship this summer. Thanks!...

This! Totally this. I'm a software engineer and I will tell you first hand that engineers will not care if you can do the job. Once you start meeting professionals in the field you'll see that we're ...

I tell them about it, flat out. I always add that I never let it get in the way of my work. Which I don't. I just had an interview this past Tuesday and they offered me the job about an hour afterward...

Sorry to hear that you are struggling like this - I have a stutter as well, and it definitely makes things difficult. I feel that career-wise I am limited because I can't speak well in front of others...

That's great that you have such a positive outlook. I just couldn't see myself trying to sell a car and blocking for five seconds every several words. I would be afraid the customer would be like "wha...
