Breaking Free and Embracing New Opportunities
Mike, if you can get past your parents' guilt, you can live anywhere in the world as well. So I decided to take the chance and stay. And while I was there, I worked at my friend's center for four years and not at sea level, but I got to see the inside and out of a call center industry. And then in my mid-30s, I threw my hat in the ring and next thing you know, started my own center.
