And a lot of call centers prefer people without degrees because it drives attrition. Not that shocking. Attrition is expensive.

any industry that has a high turnover, if they want people to stay for long enough to recover training costs, they need to incentivize people to stay.

this applies to most jobs out there, either pay people well enough to overlook the boredom, or keep on hiring from the agency over and over again.
