I wouldn't say that your earning potential is limited by your stuttering- it's only limited by how hard you're willing to work. I don't see myself as having a disability or a handicap....

I wish there was a fund that helps stuttering students with their tuition. After all a stutterer's range of money earning opportunities is so limited. I guess I shouldn't have had hopes and just should have majored in programming.

The thing is, I know 4 languages now. 5 yrs ago I came to Jp, took A HUGE CHALLENGE (because of the speech), and of course this path has been far from easy because of my speech. I was like a fish tryi...

I admire the people posting in this thread, but seriously I can't even say my name, so something like this is impossible for me. I'm a truck driver, because I can't be the things I would have liked to...

I don't miss the days where I'd tried to hide my stuttering during interviews. Terrible idea for me, really worsened my anxiety. And it's a bit pointless, eh? If I get the job, they're going to realiz...

So you think if you wouldn't have stuttered you would have been a lot better at your job? ...

Thank you for that, and I'm with you on all of that. The thing is, I'm not so much worried about getting made fun of, it's whether or not I could adequately do the job that concerns me. ...

I wasn't a teacher, but I was an army interrogator for a while. At first it was a train wreck, but after awhile I got used to the situation and stuttered a lot less. Looking back on it now I'd say I ...

I try not to over think things. I am just out of college and being in the work environment is interesting to say the least. I have my good days and bad days with my stutter. Put me on a spot in a meet...

You can't let your stutter define who you are. I stutter, and I am a first year associate at a large law firm. My stutter isn't too bad when I am speaking to somebody one-on-one, but it gets pretty b...

I feel as if a lot of people assume that stuttering means you're anxious, scared, etc...which obviously don't play well in an interview. One strategy I've used is to bring up my stutter in a funny way...

My stuttering was bad in my early youth and from ages 19 - 25ish, but it went away eventually. YMMV, but just saying there's always hope. Growing up sucks; 36 currently and still not there yet. It ...

It totally depends on your confidence and ability to communicate. Speaking and communicating are completely different. This topic has come up many times in my NSA chapter meetings. After many interv...

I've tried freelance work but there are so many people who will undercut your price just to make a sale. Thank you very much for the advice! I'd like to make a living out of it and I'll continue to tr...

Hey man, one of my friends who happens to be a severe stutterer(like really severe) works as a network engineer at Dropbox. I've also met stutterers who work at companies like Google and Oracle. I'm a...

If it gives you any hope I had an interview last friday and I stuttered quite a lot. They still said that they will extend an offer as soon as they verify my references. Then they asked if they could ...

I stutter as well and have issues in interviews. Interviewers usually tell me to calm down. It's infuriating. I'm not nervous, I'm frustrated I can't talk normally. They talked about offering me the j...

I've experimented with different tactics ranging from addressing it at the start to trying to pretend it's not happening. I've found it greatly depends on the interviewer which tactic is best, and it'...

Discrimination?

Discrimination? I finished school back in December, 2013. I have been looking for a job since. I've filled out somewhere between 250 and 300 applications and have had over 40 interviews across about 2...

I stutter and I am a ski instructor and a server. Pretty much my entire livelyhood depends on me interacting with the public. It's possible man, just don't give up....
