Commenting for later. I'll share my story after work, it is quite similar to yours! Edit: Here I am. So, I also have a stutter since I was a child (am 22 now, in third year of university). I planned on becoming a teacher forever, I took as many language courses in school as I could, because I always told myself I can do it. When I enrolled in uni I didn't have the courage to do the teaching program, because my stutter got worse at that time. My Mechanical Engineering field I study now is okay, but not the best thing ever. You can say that I let my stutter dictate my life. I didn't have the easiest time finding new friends when I left home, because I had (and still have) trouble introducing myself to others. Those situations really stress me a lot. At the moment I am trying something new, something I read a while ago on reddit: Sing to myself. Slowly going over to reading out loud to myself. Maybe I can somehow find my way to teaching nonetheless. Sorry, I can't give you good advice though.
