Stutterers Earn Less Money! Hey all, I swear the algorithm knows me too well. So I work in a very competitive financial field with tons of people and every year they offer a promotion and mind you I've been with the company for five years and in the last two years alone they gave a promotion to two individuals who've only been with the company for 3-4 years. They will never say it to my face, but the only reason they don't ever pick me is for my mild/moderate stutter. So today I searched on Google and YouTube money and stuttering and sure enough I see an image come up on how to earn more as a stutterer. I thought it was a joke at first, but a [University of Florida](https://news.ufl.edu/2024/12/stuttering-job-satisfaction/) study shows we stutterers are nearly four times less likely to earn $100,000 or more annually. I busted my ass in school to hopefully one day obtain a six figure salary and I'll be damned if my stutter will prevent me from getting that. I had a roadmap set in place for my academic and athletic career and I'm hoping I get one for my stuttering because I know theres a way to manage it better. I mean I never stutter while presenting to myself so why can't I match that in the board room with clients?
