    When someone calls me from a call centre I ask them to hold then just leave the phone off the hook.

    I'm inbound so no hard sells, simple stuff no stress and a good wage considering you could train a chicken to do this.

    That's a very admirable job. Good for you. I've never had a job that "matters". Not something I'm proud of.

    Thanks mate <ok>

    I've always done some kind of support work. I spent many years doing various psychology degrees at Uni - then went straight into working in the prison system as a drug support worker. Then other bits of support work here and there (mainly substance misuse), but my current job is probably the most rewarding. Especially when you see a young person come in that can't even look you in the eye, and is clearly very emotionally damaged - then they leave after a year or so with their head held high, started a new job and moving into their first flat etc. I get a real buzz out of that kind of stuff.

    Obviously to each success there are some sad stories too, but if I can try and make a difference to just a few then I'm happy with that <ok>

    It's actually a right laugh at times, once you build up a relationship we just have pure banter with each other, take them out go-karting, paint-balling, cinema all kinds of activities. So there are plenty of perks. I guess that helps balance the fact that support workers (even at management level) don't get a great wage - it's far from bad but it's far from amazing! But it's not about the money for me. I have all I need in life.
