Former call center employees, what are you doing now?

I’ve spent eight years in call centers in one capacity or another (representative and supervisor for about 4 years each — trust me, not any less stressful being a supervisor, you’ve still got someone up your ass 8 hours a day, but you’re also salary so you take it home with you too). I recently took vacation and realized 1) I am unhappy and 2) that I’ve pigeon-holed myself into this type of work. I originally started at a call center when the job market was not great back in 2012 or so, and one thing led to another and that’s what I’m still doing. Just curious for those former call center employees out there, what are you doing now? I’m seriously looking into a career change and I don’t want to fall into something else that makes me unhappy.

  1. 12 years I worked in call centers from front line rep to escalation desk.. fun times I was so unhappy I completely changed careers.. I’m now a heavy equipment operator! So much less stress.
