That's how I feel too. Tucson has a ton of call centers because we have what is considered a neutral accent. They usually pay around $10 per hour which is a good starting rate for a job that requires little to no skills to get hired. Most of the people working there are single moms because it's an easy job and if you don't have an education or a trained skill it's hard to find a job that will pay more than $10 around here.
