I am paraplegic by birth & a graduate. Tele-marketing has given me an opportunity to work from home & earn a decent living. People in general think it is a menace, but it also gives some persons an opportunity to earn their living. If you feel disturbed by a 'telemarketing call' just tell the person at the other end to delete ur nos from their list. I am sure a telemarketeer won't like to call someone again, when he/she is sure that the call will not generate ANY business.
