An offer by Lansing Community College guaranteeing students a job a year after graduation or their money back attracted few takers, according to the Lansing State Journal. The college originally planned to offer training in four programs: pharmacy technician, customer-service call-center worker, certified quality inspector, and computer numeric-control machinist. Only the machinist and pharmacy programs attracted enough students to move forward.

Given Michigan’s unemployment, three of the four programs should have an audience. But do you really need college training to work in a call center?
