Will call center jobs help save us from poverty?

Or will they at least help mitigate poverty in the Philippines by creating more jobs even for those without college diplomas? Or is it counterproductive in the long run--- by enticing more youth to earn (and not to learn in school) ?

Yes, definitely. It's a booming sector. And you don't need high qualification for being a part of this sector. Even a 12th Standard can earn 6-7K easily. You just need good communication skills in English and basic knowledge of computer. That's it. There is also a good scope of growth in both domestic and international BPO company. You just need a better perceptive and understanding of Call centres.
