But still everyone wants Desk Job.

If one can earn Rs. 15000 selling even vegetables , people still would prefer a desk job even for Rs. 8,000 – 10,000 and even spend money on powder – lipsticks to sustain that.

Just a simple one of , amongst the examples is BPO / Call Centre.
Its a bitter truth.
