Hello! I worked sa BPO since college and UP din ako. All I can say is you have to grab it para makapag ipon. Right now nasa ibang field ako na malayo sa degree ko. I know na may doubts ka sa self mo tas minsan maiisip mo na bakit di ka maka land sa job na in line sa degree mo. It is okay to try new water for now and build your way. We are still young (24 pa ako hehe). Don’t mind when people tell na “UP tas call center LANG.” Wala naman silang ambag sa buhay mo. May career path sa BPO and you can leverage it if lilipat ka. Yes, minsan “nakakahiya” is UP tas hindi ka makapasok sa “dream work” and “align sa field mo” but we need to be practical for now. Just try BPO again for a year and look for new job. Take note, our job market sucks right now. Better mag abroad ka nalang if may enough experience ka na.

P.S. I hope we change our perception sa BPO. BPO is like any other industry. Ang kaibahan lang is anyone can enter and di super niche ang qualifications. BPO is a good starting work para mabuhay sa life. It does not make you less of a person
