Anyone work for collections ? after being laid off from continental automotive systems, Im kinda looking for a new job. Being 19 and having little to no experience in anything, and having gotten used to a larger salary than most of my age group, needless to say makes the search a bit difficult. My cousin works for a collections agency and opened my eyes to it, he says it blows but he and I have a bit of a different definition of “work ethic”. So Im looking for anyone that may have or still does work for collections that may be able to give my an insight on what I May be getting into, thanks -Ian ---

if you can hold an attitude of going to work and building a lot of hate for anyone you get on the phone with you’ll go far. i countered it all with drinking and seeing my paycheck. Having my own office was nice too. ---
