I am actually now thinking about working at a restaurant. I guess if I really think about it, I have nothing to lose from working as a waiter. Even though I might hesitate it'll probably be very good for me. I will be looking at restaurants now since there are so many were I live!

But honestly..any job will work for a person who stutters because either way you will have to talk to new people...i dont know if this helped but thats my experience! have a good day!

I love people and love to help people, so being a waitress and getting to meet different people every day was fun as well as challenging. Another fun part of the job was going home with the tips and finding that I had made more money per hour in tips than some of the other kids who were working as cashiers and bagboys at a grocery store. The Stuttering Foundation's book "Self Therapy for the Stutterer" helped me keep in practice. I loved my first job as a waitress.
