It's so TRUE!!!
I work at a Call center for a Human Resources company in Florida and it really is a dead end job. They say you have potential to move up and advance but that isn't the case.I don't feel appreciated or valued...another reason why I'm currently looking for a non-Call Center job.

I don't see call center jobs as dead-end jobs, but certainly they are not jobs one usually works for many years.

They will burn you out, unless you move around and switch functionalities and even then, they are a good way into the door...to something else.

Definitely they are not for everyone. One must maintain a sense of calm and concentration, and not run away screaming. Too often.

"In some cases, they also earn more than their parents, allowing for purchases -- jeans, cologne, nightclub admissions -- that would be pricey even by American standards."

In the US it's dead end. Obviously, in India, it is pretty desirable employment.
