Ok, since May of last year I’ve been earning my keep with a phone glued to the side of my head. I got my start in defaulted student loans and loved it with a passion, after the big move I transitioned into third party expecting it to be no different. Only to be rudely awakened in my own idea of hell; Deadbeats, the down-and-out, losers, and an employer who liked to insult me. Now I sell lawn conditioner for a Fortune-500 Company. After third party collections hell I shuddered at the thought of something similar to telemarketing. Truth is, now that I’m doing it, I find it to be a breath of fresh air next to third party.

Student Loans: What I expected- to make just the base and hear many new four letter word phrases. What I got- Lots of new friends, a new professional image, good bonus money, debtors trusting me, a company appreciating me, and a new direction in my career,

Third party: What I expected- New friends, enhanced professional image, more bonus money, rapport with debtors, employee appreciation, and an extension on my career. What I got- just base pay, new four letter word phrases learned, debtors hating me, no bonus money, a boss ridiculing me, and a job I detested.

Cold Sales: What I expected- Frequent angry reminders of the Do Not Call list, lots of hangups, maybe a few four letter word phrases. What I got- Lots of maybes, rare hangups, and consumers who politely decline.

Lesson learned: Having expectations of the unknown is a complete waste of thought. If something is either good or bad, is will show. Student loans and cold sales are full of upbeat, studious professionals of all ages who are fun to be around. Third party is full of antacid-popping curmudgeons who are a misery to be around.

I like Shirley because she has a heart of gold, and there’s always something new to learn about her.

I like Tammy (brat) because she is so sweet and sensitive. What she is going through with collectors makes me want to jump in front of her like a human shield.

I like Mary (waydizzy) because she’s fun to banter back and forth with, and she and I have a lot in common.

I like Debbie (2kid2cat) because nothing can bring her down. She is a role model to all women never to give up.

I like JJ because he’s a Star Wars nut just like me, and he’s kinda cute plus a little flirtatious.

I like Toni (ttthayden) because she’s cool, and she saved me one time from embarassing myself in a really bad way.

I like Denny, Mike, and Dave because their encouragement just inspires me to load up the entire forum with posts.

I like Stan because he was the first one to answer the first question I ever had for the forum.

Did I miss anybody?
