Well I hate telemarketers too...and I hate how they call ya when you're doing something...why couldn't they call when you're not home? ;)

But I do know that they are just folks like you and me trying to pay their bills and feed their families....they tend to only go to telemarketing cause those jobs have a very high turnover rate...and they can't find jobs elsewhere...why go to McDonald's when youre unemployment check is bigger than any McDonald's check you'll ever see? Also many of these people have degrees and certifications....but with a flooded market...there is nothing for them right now...so they go to things like telemarketing or other call centers....Do not ever believe that they enjoy calling you up and getting cursed at, hung up on, verbally abused, and threatened...Do not believe that they enjoy the stress of calling each prospective customer as they try to reach a quota so they can get some food and keep a roof over their heads.

As an aside...lol I did Level Three tech support for MSN (We called it the MSN Consumer Advocate Group) for almost a year and a half before we lost the contract (the bastards moved north of the border...it's cheaper).   But anyways part of the job was to call customer's back to give them updates and make sure their connection or whatever was wrong is working again...sometimes we were mistaken to be telemarketers and they would go sorry we're not interested and hang up on us....lol...we would go great youre not interested in finding out if your connection or email has been fixed then screw you...and we would close the ticket...lol
