| Question: I am a Computer Engineer ( passed in 2001). As I am a fresher there are few opportunities in programming or oracle D.B.A. field (my technical skills are C, C++, VC++ and Oracle D.B.A.). I want to know if it is O.K. to do a call centre job or mail managing type of job. Will it affect my career in the long run. Will I find it difficult to get a programming related job after I do a call centre job of my friends say you don't get any technical knowledge increased by joining such a job. Some also say it is a risk as it will be difficult to get out of such a job and get a proper engineering related job. Will my degree not be wasted in a call centre kind of job. Kindly advise regarding this. |

Answer: Call center job is a different cup of tea. It has nothing to do with programming skills. I feel you should manage the two separately.
It is perfectly fine that you remain gainfully employed. Call center's job
can be interesting and taxing. Intelligence and presence of mind is
required, for sure.
Please accept the fact that the software market is bad. While you should
look at a call center job, you can keep the rest of your time to yourself.
No one will stop you from doing self study on software in your own free time
even while you are in job.
While you are in the job, make sure you make your mind fully present there.
Take that job seriously. Later, in your own time, take software study
seriously. You can manage these two things well. |
