Call center nowadays are very rampant and as we all know, it is one of the highest paying jobs right now. I have a lot of friends working in a call center and they work in a different shift. I can really see them that they are so tired but they can't coz during pay days, it pays off daw. I think nurse and call center agents are just similar in some ways coz they are working different shifts ryt? Now, in your own opinion.. which is most appealing to you?

If you'll just base it here in our country, a call center job pays a lot more than being a nurse. Nurses in our hospitals would just receive a net pay around 3-4K right? BUt when you are a call center agent, usually, your net pay would range from 6K and above. But if you base it outside the country, like for example, Filipinos working abroad, of course, Filipino Nurses pay a lot more because they are not earning Philippine Peso abroad. So, as to your questiom, for me, being a call center agent is more appealing to me at the moment because I'm not a Nursing graduate in the first place. But if given a chance still to be able to work abroad, I'd still take that opportunity for financial purposes. :)

I'd rather have the nursing job. Both have the same changing shifts and both are high paying jobs, it's a matter of choice, whether you like to sit around and answer the phone and talk to nice and obnoxious people or walk around the whole day taking care of nice and obnoxious patients. :D
