Working min wage in call centre, where do I go from here?

I have a spotty job history in admin roles, marketing, was bored of office work, made the move over to sales, was fired, then ended up in a call centre. The job I have now is soul destroying... it's mindnumbingly boring (not challenging at all) yet constantly stressful at the same (dealing with people shouting abuse all day, angry customers, etc). The turnover is extremely high and we're all working from home at the moment so its incredibly isolating too.

Has anyone ever worked in a call centre and did you move to a job you enjoyed afterwards? What was it?

Anywhere! I sold double glazing in a call centre in my early twenties, I'm now a Data & Analytics manager. What are your skills/passions? If you have the resilience to stick through call centre work you will probably be great when you find something you truly enjoy. Is there anything at all about your current job that you actually enjoy that you could do more of in another job?

My first job were call centre, I moved from that to credit control, to finance management. It took time, luck and patience to be honest.
