While customer service is certainly laughable as a career aspiration for a college graduation don't be so quick to judge sales. My uncle lives in an upscale Atlanta suburb and works as a salesman for a building materials company. He and his wife, my aunt, live very comfortably upon one income. I know some pharmaceutical sales representatives who also generate a nice chunk of change. They're not talking about a snake oil salesman! Customer service, however, is something I don't understand. Why would I want to use my Bachelor's Degree, let alone Master's Degree, to work for a call center?

Because there aren't any better jobs in this economy for which I can use my degree. Plus, I have an IT degree and these days starting out in help desk is nearly mandatory. Bachelors degrees aren't what they once were now that so many people are getting them. If you want to work in management a masters is extremely helpful.

I'm just waiting for the Houston and Atlanta posters to come in and question why their cities weren't on the list...lol.
It's because our cities are on every other list. You have to share sometimes--you can't win 'em all.
