My uncles said that they had better luck getting work after they started telling the interviewer up front that they stuttered. The interviewer then knew that it wasn't nerves or from their trying to cover up something. They also said that they stuttered less if they told people they were a stutterer instead of trying not to stutter. The Stuttering Foundation at www.stutteringhelp.org was a source of help for our family. They have brochures that you can access online and print out. One of them is for employers. My uncles got their book "Self Therapy for the Stutterer" that helped them overcome their stuttering after they worked through the steps and practiced. Keep looking and even go back to some places that turned you down the first time.

I met a girl recently who had a device in her ear to help her not stutter. It looked like a completely in the ear hearing aid, but what it did is provided a speech delay signal into her ear that prevented her from stuttering. It was amazing to listen to and amazing to see it working. Call some local speech pathologists in your area and inquire. Or search it out on the web.

Don't dispair, your speech impediment should not affect you in job hunting unless your job directly requires constant verbal communication. There are plenty of job out there for you depending on your qualifications and I know you'll probably get one soon. Don't let your disability pity yourself into thinking you deserve some kind of special treatment. You are a person of society and have equal chances.
That being said try:
Construction
Stocking
Inventory
Bookkeeping
Data Entry
P.S: Don't fall for scams like the one below, it will only lead to your dissapointment and you don't want to work at home and not develop your social skills by hiding in your room. If it sounds too good to be true it probably is.

My son stutters and I work with adults with disabilities. First, don't give up. My son worked Burger King drive thru when he was a teen. I would tease him and ask what he would do if someone ordered seven strawberry shakes and it was $7.99. Sorry, a little mom humor there. He did just fine and now is a manager of a BBQ restaurant. (still stutters) If nothing seems to turn up call your local social services office and ask them to put you in touch with vocational rehab. They open doors for you. Good Luck!

Do you only stutter when your nervous like at interviews, You could learn too relax more like take deep breaths. but I see no reason why no one will hire you.
I went to work in night clubs behindthe bar when I was a teenager and it really opened my eyes, and I got to know loads of cool people Im glad I did it . but you may have to be 21 if yur American .
