The Great Debate(for me at least!)

So I recently started a full time job in a call center. It's not physically demanding, but mentally it is and I hate to say it, but being mentally stable is not my strong point. Anyways, I'm starting to hate my classes, the online program that I am in (Music Production) is not what I thought it was going to be. My problem is that I am a little less than halfway into my program, but I really feel uninspired and as if I have lost ALL passion for music. I don't even listen to it as much as I used to. So I am thinking about dropping out of school. I feel it is now and will be in the future a waste of money. But then I feel really guilty about even thinking about dropping out because that means I am giving up on what used to be a dream of mine. I don't know what to do. On top of everything I've been waking up every morning with excruciating tooth aches, which in turn really makes it hard for me to focus on ANYTHING.

Time to go to work, I will check back on my post later tonight.

 

Quit your job once you’ve saved up enough money for dental work - get your teeth fixed, and reevaluate your plans for the future :2thumbsup:





Hotwater

 

yank them all

 

Call center work sucks so much By the way, I also quit my classes and I do regret that. It's much better on your resumé and you spend a lot of money on it already. Just my 2 cents

 

There's a reason why nobody wants to work at a call center just saying

 

I've been working in call centre environments for the last 6 years.
It has taken quite a toll on my mental health to be honest.

I was doing it while I was in audio engineering as well. My only advice is dont let call centre work affect your life in a way where you have no energy or interest in anything else.

It's not worth it.

 

call centers are jobs for people with no conscience

kind of like debt collectors and repo men

 

I work at a call center. I'm here right now. The work I do isn't as bad as some other call centers but it's still draining and it makes me hate people.

I want more than anything to get back in school because I'm sure as hell not doing this shit the rest of my life.

My advice is to stay in school - change your major to something more useful if you want or need to, but don't drop out.

 

how much longer until you finish your program? how much more money will finishing cost you?

 

Hows does that work, quit your job and save up money?

 

Maybe if you get your tooth fixed your crativity will come back and you'll feel differently about school?

Try to get that tooth fixed before making a decision like that.

 

i'm pretty sure he said to quit the job after saving up money.

but then there's also welfare.

 

not always so. I once did telephone fund raising, and I did it for idealistic reasons.

the company that did it was for-profit though, and there was some sleaze involved. some of the callers would lie to people. and there was other shit.

once I called a woman, not knowing that the name I was asking for was her daughter's, who was dead. the woman started crying, saying that people kept on calling for her daughter, and asked for us to stop calling.

I apologized and and coded the number to be deleted from the database.

I got called out by a manager for this. they don't like to delete numbers. when I explained, he said that I needed to overcome objections, and said that I should have asked for a memorial gift.

fucking scumbag.

 

I have 24 out of 32 courses left to do, and I'm in dept about 14,000 already, by the end of my degree I will be in debt about $60,000. I'm still weighing the pros and cons, not sure what to do yet. I'm possibly considering going to a local community college part-time, but I don't do too well in a class room and NONE of my current credits will transfer.

 

No thank you to welfare, lol.

In reference to the call center comments, it beats flipping burgers for a living. My job is super easy, I have a script I read and set up appointments for people and it's inbound. So it's not that bad, it's just a lot of navigating screens and looking up info and having to remember to say everything perfectly.

 

I was gonna get a job at a suicide call center ,, but thought Id just like to hear people kill themselves live and laugh about it.. ya, Im cynical and dgaf....

 

god will punish you... :sunny:

 

Or Satan...:devil:

 

holy shit that's an expensive school! i'm not even going to try to give advice when it involves that kind of money.
