A Time To Reflect

charukesi October 25th, 2007

Time has this interesting article - India’s Call-Center Jobs Go Begging - about how young graduates are no longer interested in these once-attractive high-paying jobs.

Young people say it is no longer worthwhile going through sleepless nights serving customers halfway around the world. They have better job opportunities in other fields. Kiran Karnik, president of NASSCOM attributes it to opportunities in other service fields like retail and airlines and hospitality and also more sophisticated outsources jobs in areas like financial analysis.

So is it that young people are rejecting call center jobs are are they merely seeking a better profile of call center jobs? Either ways, Bangalored could easily be New-Yorked and Londoned soon.
