Is it normal for an 18 year old to work at a call center?

JUST WONDERING, because I work at a call center and I am a baby!! All my co-workers are 24+ (I'd say 26-31 is the average age).

    Yes, very normal. Most call centres have a high employee turnover and low skill requirement which suits a lot of students around your age looking for part-time temp work.

    Yes. I used to work at a call center when I was 17-18 and thought it was weird because everyone in my department was quite a bit older. Since then, I've found many college students who go for call center jobs for the flexibility.

    Yeah, most of the call center employees I know are either young students, single Moms who need work that pays better than minimum wage and has flexible hours and stoners who need to pay their bills.

  • You are not a baby. I worked in a call centre for a year when I was 26 years old and half of my coworkers on my team were 18-20 years old.
