I have a very close relative with a stutter who went into sales (yes, that's right...sales) not too long ago. We have discussed this topic quite a bit and they actually started creating a podcast and interviewed speech pathologists about various aspects of it. In general, I agree that educated folks do not care about a speech impediment, especially people who are close to people with a stutter or similar. Still, it can have an effect and just the stress of that can inevitably make things worse. If you are interested in talking to someone else with a speech impediment, reply to this and I can link you up. I think you can be fairly confident, though, that 99.99% of people you would ever care to work with could not possibly care less that you have a stutter and will be more than patient. Often, the stress of trying to speak and not being able to get the words out can start a vicious cycle. You can almost guarantee that they are more than happy to hear what you have to say and won't pay any attention to any speech impediment.
