I'm 78f. I made it through but I don't think I'd have been able to compete in a professional setting. I hit the jackpot by marrying the most amazing man that I've ever known and being together for 54 years. His career allowed me to be a homemaker but I have always wondered what would have happened if I had to compete professionally after university. This man presented me proudly in every situation especially socially Despite my own ‘embarrassment’ about my stammer he was never hesitant to be my husband. Have confidence that there are other amazing partners out there. I've heard that our stuttering bothers us more than others. That must be true.
