patience, persistence, and perseverance.

It took me quite a while, a couple of years actually, but I finally made it out of retail, I now work full-time at an institution, and I didn't even have to move. 😍

My advice to all of you looking to get out of retail is the same as was my grandfather's advice to me (see above).

Just don't give up!



Oh, and you can't always listen to It's Z.

what are the factors that make people want to escape retail? At a certain point, does the increased income no longer matter due to the stress?

It was the outright craziness that drove me away.

The pay is almost identical - maybe slightly better. So maybe someone else can chime in and address that part.

I don't mind working retail as long as its at the independent where I work sometimes. Usually just chilling out and verifying. Barely any customer interaction.

Oh, yeah, that's right. The LTAC experience was probably helpful to your job search.

Or you can just get into pharma and make the same amount for 40-55 hours a week in a nice office building haha - assuming money is the goal.
