I work at a software company, the only way you're going to be hired as "a developer" there is if you have experience. But, I started out doing customer help desk a couple years ago for $12/hour with no experience and I was promoted from support to QA, to developer, and then to architect. We have two other developers and two QA currently who moved up from support. That probably only works at certain companies though, if you're working at a call center for a huge company it's going to be harder to get noticed. My company is small-ish (50 or so employees), big enough to be able to actually pay salary but small enough that I talk with the CTO every day.
