Hey.
I'm in a predicament where I have to choose between working retail and fellowship/industry. I'm not sure which way to go and so I hope you guys can give me some helpful pointers.
Retail:
Pros:
Make almost three times as much then you would doing a fellowship. When you leave work you don't have to bring anything home.
Cons:
Customers can be a pain. Job satisfaction isn't the highest. Job growth is limited depending on the chain, mostly pharmacy manger then district manager.
Industry:
Pros:
Quality of life and job satisfaction seems to be higher. Growth opportunities are vast. You develop skills which are transferable to many corporate/ business firms.
Cons:
Pay is less then retail. You won't make six figures until working for a couple years if i'm correct. Hours are long and you bring work home when working on projects.
What are your opinions?
