I'm 22 years old an a new grad, i was very eager to find a new job after graduation that I applied in a call center. Working there made "ok" money but asked us go to work on night shifts. after three months i resigned. I thought the income that I was getting isn't worth the pain of a straight night shift work. Before whenever I was asleep at day my family was awake and whenever i wake up at night they're asleep. I couldn't risk my relationships so i quitted came back home to the province and worked here. although i make less than half of what i had in the call center, i dont regret my decision, are you also a call center agent? or an agent before? are you happy with the night shift? do you think the income is worth it?
