Some have a very formulaic approach that tells you exactly what to order, how to schedule and so on while other companies merely have targets that you have to meet.

My point though was that you can start out managing a smaller store like a Liquor Depot and translate those skills into say a department manager job at a Walmart and from there you can apply to be a store manager at a Sport Mart. Moving up in responsibility and pay as you go.

It is definitely a career if you make it one.
So because I could have made a career in retail management, I should have not worried about my 4 year degree I just finished getting and got a job at Liquor Depot in the hopes that one day the job of the people above me will be crappy enough that they will quit and then I can have it?

Where do I sign up?
