call centers here are flourishing.

considering that a lot of major corporations source out their 'help' centres or call centres to india, it comes as no surprise that middle class families are thrilled when their kids get into one of them.. because they can brag to their friends, 'my daughter/son works for a call center for (eg) AT&T'.

maybe it's not much, but for these families it means a lot.
everyone goes through tons and tons of abuse at these call centres, but like ndub said, it gives you probably the best exposure in business than you ever thought possible.
