I dunno, do any girls work there?

Ask Titsune. She works at one.

You don't have to be there for ever if you end up not liking it.

you're relentless

It pays $12.50 an hour, so that's $25,000 a year. It's for Charter Communications. Basically they're desperate for workers it seems. My question is, has anyone worked at one and are they really as bad as the media portrays them? Maybe I'll suck it up and do it even for a year, then I can finally afford to move out.

I didn't know you lived in India, Roman.

I live in about to be in debtsville if I do a graduate program. It doesn't matter anyways. I just want to be around other students my age again and have somewhat of a social life. But that's not worth all of my money, $26,000.

5. Just because I teach history it wouldn't make me Indiana Jones

What? Really? Better give up on my teaching dreams.

I worked at one.

One of the most stable, satisfying jobs I've ever had.

I highly recommend it, because there's a lot of room to move up too.

I was mostly joking, but if you don't live somewhere where call centers are outsourced to, your job is pretty much always in threat of being sent overseas. You're better off being a waiter or something.

The demand for stateside call centers is increasing rapidly.

Americans like talking to Americans, and a lot of companies have figured out that Americans are more skilled to take care of customers than Indians.

Thinking about it. My friend says he makes $100 in tips every night. Think I have the looks for a waiter, maybe not the attitude though.

The sarcasm is strong with this one.

I'm actually 100% serious.

American call centers are expanding and taking on new clients all the time.

When your company is hired to answer calls for a new client, they need new management.

Every few years they'll get picked up by a new company.

Usually your hours are the same every day and there's little wiggle room for your supervisor to give you the runaround.

It's a stable, decent paying, satisfying job that you could very well go salary in if your company expands in the future.
