Do You Think That You Could Ever Be A Debt Collector?





I just got finished blogging about an online article called "Confessions Of A Debt Collector" to my Money Basics Blog 101 and the article was very interesting.

The article mentioned that the average salary of a debt collector can be as much as $12 per hour and I know that a lot of people who are out of work right now would be interested in taking that kind of job if for no other reason than the salary.

However this sort of job does have its disadvantages and one of them is that there is a quota that you have to fill - in other words - you have to collect a certain amount of money. Debt collectors also receive a commission on the money that they actually collect.

So the question is do you think that you could be a debt collector?

For me personally one of the jobs that I hated the most was selling Time Life books over the phone! I did not last at that job very long because I believe that I only sold one set of books! So I do not think that I would like taking a job as a debt collector.

So what do you think? Could YOU be a debt collector?
