Hi You need to ask yourself this question before you sign up to work for one of these slave drivers' Am I picking up tangible skills that I can use to build a career?' No I am not talking about communication and personal relationship I am talking about making a marketing plan, a business plan something a kid out of college can not do? Are you adding value to yourself? If the answer is know say a flat no to the people who offer you a lousy 10K for taking calls. There are so many opportunities out there trust me you can make multiples of 10K and not work half as hard doing honourable work. I am a Prof of Finance at a couple of colleges in bangalore this is what i tell my students. Build Skills .Dont go for short term gains. They can replace you in three years with a younger kid out of college, what are you left with? Stay in college get that degree or Post Graduation then start out. You cant hunt a tigre with your bear hands you need a gun the college degree with skills is that gun.
