So after 9 weeks you will literally know everything about cell phones. Heck you can pick up almost everything in about a week.

They paying you for being there? I'd say your banking.

Yes, I'm "banking", i guess you can say. The reason why it's taking 9 week is because they teach you absolutely everything about everything

"Don't worry about most the material we go over because most of it doesn't pertain to you."

Teaching us everything that is not relevant to the job. Makes sense. I'm sure if you cut out all of it, training would take 4-5 days.

I'd use that time to get a good job. Its like getting paid to search.

I'm putting together jobs that have long training, I'm just going to hop from job to job during training periods. The first one is Doctor, that will take up 12 years, then lawyer, then call center and finally retire ๐Ÿ™‚
