I can tell you this - if you become a Store Manager with the company I work for, you can get 6 figures each year with your bonus to start out with, later you'll be doing much better (6 figure base). No cashier makes that wage.

And yes, it is a retailer.

As GP Matt says if you apply yourself in Retail, you can make an extremely good living. Having a background and experience in Retail Management means you're going to be able to find work just about anywhere and at any time. High transferable and portable skills.
