In what world does retail pay a living wage?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

Retail management I assume.

I was making over $60k a year managing a small retail store.

It isn't too hard to break into management of boutique retail shops, but you are basically a rep who doesn't get overtime and has a few additional responsibilities. A part time job at a big corporation won't be a living wage, but it's possible to make a living in retail.

The job really sucks though.

Thats so funny. In germany you get like 36k for a retail management job. Depending on the brand I guess and size of the store though.
