My dad works in retail due to circumstances that happened early on in life, and he thoroughly enjoys his job. He also has a degree in Business and French, so is by no means uneducated.
No. I work in retail as a part-time job and plan to continue it through university for extra funds, and quite a few people who work in my store actually have degrees. Therefore, the stereotype everyone who works in retail are uneducated is untrue.
Like someone above has said, I never really think about it. I'm too busy worrying about meeting my own needs in the store. So I don't judge/look down on store staff simply because I don't waste my time on it.
I know 21 year olds who earn £50,000 a year so why shouldn't they earn above that when they're 30
Props to them but not everyone can pull that off, people usually take go uni and than start a job with a salary of 20k-27k or more. I know someone thats a chemical engineer, aged 46 and earns around 70k.
