In 2006 I made $28 an hour working as a Verizon business customer service rep. Prior to that I worked at Comcasst doing the same thing for about $20 an hour($12 hourly rate plus commission) after being there for four years. Overall both jobs bored me to tears and prompted me to learn how to code. Now happily a coder for a living.
