How to Pay Back Student Loans II

In another installment of "How to Pay Back Student Loans" here I am once again to bring you the most crazy idea that might just work.

What if we operate/manage a call center from the Dorm. Impossible?? I don't think so. Just like what my favorite shoe company always say..."Impossible is Nothing" and my fellow MBA students I (with my "twin" Mark Uy) have done this feat for the past three months. A more incredible feat was that we managed this with the crappy internet connection we're getting from the dorm! See...Impossible is Really Nothing.

Actually it came to us by luck and a dash of desperation hahaha. We we're "desperately" looking for an Action Consultancy (AC) project and we got a job that none of our fellow cohort applied to. It was with a small firm that wanted to do a start up online tutorial. To make the long story short, we started it and managed it from the dorm for 3 months. Now the Business that we started is still in operations but someone else is managing the day to day operations. We are just retained to perform specific tasks for the company while still in school. Sort of like a consulting job.

Everyone has laptops and we are all connected to the web through wifi so we can definitely do this at the dorm... Rumors have been confirmed that AIM is getting a much faster internet connection from 2+2Mbps to 10Mbps making this crazy idea a lot more feasible.

So all of you guys who want to enter the BPO industry when you graduate, the dorm can be a training ground for Operations for such an industry. You can actually put this in your resume ( I think..) In your resume it will say...I'm an AIM graduate and if I can do this in our dorm then I can manage you BPO center easily anytime anywhere. ----> HIRED! hahaha

Maybe we can create the next Infosys right out of the dorm... hmmm...wouldn't that be something.
