Call Center Job is only 9 hours (in general - that already include breaks). Sleep is 7 to 8 hours, that makes round 15 to 16 hours. You have 7-8 hours to spend on what you desire most....spend it wisely to help you grow further as a person, as a citizen of your country. And oh, save while you earn BIG in this Industry!!!

We'll I use that 7-8 hours doing what I love most..Basketball and Entrepreneurship!!!

mga 4-5 hours na lang tingale. you have to deduct the time for commuting and observance of your routines going to and arriving home from work.

i've read this article pud earlier, so sad but true enough for people who is working in CC. 3years nko nag work sa CC, kapoy na cgeg graveyard... Thank God! He gave me strength to go back to school, will finish college (hopefully mu graduate inig march 2012) and take another course for my long-term career plans (SPED or take a masters degree). For now, since working in CC offers more than a regular job can, im saving money for tuition fee and other impt stuff. i feel lyk i'll die young if i'll continue working in graveyard shift in the next 5yrs.. =)

ok ra naa ka sa call center as long as you will not stop learning para you can go out anytime. lisod jud if masulod ka diha pero ok na gihapon na, daghan gali walay work.

he also said “The only way of protesting that the government is not working is actually creating solutions." “You go and create solutions for the Philippines, and show it back to the government that it can be done this way."

Unfortunately pud the institutions, particularly the private ones, honestly cannot afford to pay these people much higher.

they can. they just choose to minimize overhead. the greedy bastards. ang net ana nila abot sa milllions nya kana ila pa ikuha sa mga tao na nagtabang nila kuha anang kwartaha. mokirig unta na sila oi. mgamatay nalang unta na sila ug kana ilang mga kaliwat!

well... that is what I feel about this industry. but its better than going abroad and sharing your expertise outside your country. it's choosing the lesser of the two weavils.

the less of the two evils is actually going abroad. south korea built their economy on ofw's incomes. You rake in dollars to the phils that's actually much better than earning the spare change the west is sending us.

tag as ra kaayo og garbo ning mga pinoy. kung way trabaho... reklamo dayon kay walay trabaho. kung tagaan nag trabaho... mangita na pod og trabaho nga hayahay kaayo. mas maayo, mo take advantage ta sa situation samtang nindot pa. dili ta mag sige og reklamo if wala tay daghan options.

It's as if there really are many options out there for employment.

Step down from your ivory towers.
