why? cuz its these 3-4 peopel that actually CAN benefit from a lower mortgage rate, loan, etc etc.
i know, i worked as one for a few weeks. its just like any other job - defense attys, maintenance at hospitals (as in, ur dieing in bed, yet some bitch comes in trying to mop), etc etc - u need em.
might i add. theres a big difference between 1) charity 2) business 3) scams..
obvoiusly 3 is the shitty one... and im not sure anyone can actually say you can do 'better' than in telemarketing.. is that to say Mackey D's is better? a lot of times, telemarketing is the bottom end position for a big company, that is, u start doing the shit, show ur worthy/dedicated... then work ur way up. great way to get in.... even with a degree a lot of times u hafto start this way.

not a lot of jobs have you dealing with rejection the way this one does ..if you are a 'sensitive' type it could completely destroy you ..
personally, i'd rather work at McDonalds .. at least people came to see you to get something they want !
