"I like the idea as well but I can imagine that $10/hr employees are not trained/educated/{whatever adjective you pick} enough to do the negotiations. The proof is there: they are working for $10/hr. If they had quality skills like that, they wouldn't be making $10/hr in a call center." Some truth here, but there are other reasons to work in a call center besides low skill set. Working part time while in college at a schedule that is good for the employee would be one.
