Job worries! Hello guys, i hope youre having a wonderful day, as a fellow stutterer here i wanted to ask if anyone has had problems with finding a job, i just currently finished my 4th year of software engineering degree, probably will do 1 year more until i get my diploma because of unfinished exams, but beside this i have had a lot of problems and misunderstanding from my family because the most available positions that i have seeked or got proposed were costumer service calls or sales and i hate phone calls, i literally know hypothetically speaking that by the first week if i got that job im gonna be fired because i know how crucial it is to have a great communication skill set, my family sees me on a daily basis more relaxed and i dont stutter too much too often but they assume and judge based on that and they say that you dont even stutter that much and you will do great even in a talkative job, but they cant grasp the idea that not everything is the same, i literally shake on phone calls and i hate them, even when i order food sometimes i think like 50x times before calling ahaha, but i keep telling them that its not the same, the ambient, the pressure changes how i stutter and these roles are really stressful and its not even about that, but its just pure delusional because i know that im not gonna succeed, earlier before i started college i used to work as a data entry for like a year but quit the job because of faculty and now 4 years later AI has taken over everything, especially the easy jobs, the demanding its so low and many many companies dont even need anymore like QA, dataentry, or even entry level software jobs, like junior data engineer, i cant seem to find anything, everything requires experience and im lost, im doing an academy currently and im working on different various projects, but theres no income from anywhere lol. If you have any advise please i would really appreciate it cuz its killing me haha. this is me: [https://www.linkedin.com/in/harbin-sela-a55b12155/](https://www.linkedin.com/in/harbin-sela-a55b12155/)
