[quote=Anonymous]Back when it was less scammy and more just credit card companies doing cold calls, I was bored and home alone and took a call.  Instead of answering the survey questions, I struck up a conversation with the caller and we seriously talked for almost an hour.  He sounded like a late teens/early 20s kid and we talked about different places in the country to live.  I asked him if he liked his job and he started talking about the places he had thought about for college, so I gave him some application advice (I was working for a university at the time).  He said he wanted to go to school in Florida because he lived in Minnesota and it was really cold.  Eventually I had to get off the phone (never finished applying for the credit card) so I asked him if our conversation was going to get him into trouble.  He said he didn't care because he was planning to quit soon anyway, and after talking to me about everything, he was really motivated to get to school and get a real job.

I really wonder what happened to that kid.  I hope he made it to Florida and got to go to college.[/quote]
