   Haha, that's a funny story.  I needed a job, and a friend that I used to   
   work with told me the call center they work at was hiring.  Ever used a   
   Mac?  Nope.  Ever used an iPhone?  Nope.  But I can type on a keyboard   
   and I had a pulse, plus not on drugs, so they hired me.   
      
   See, I worked for a third party vendor site.  The first time that I ever   
   used a Mac (newer than an ancient 90's model) was in 2015 when I started   
   the job after a few weeks of training.  Same applies to an iPhone.   
   Where I worked, many people were older, had worked on different   
   telephone campaigns, and knew little about Apple devices.   
      
   I learned quickly, but Apple cut the site in 2016, as well as many other   
   third party vendors for phone support.  I'm sure that an actual Apple   
   call center would be far more selective about specifically employing   
   "Mac" people.
