But trailing away from that, I've noticed that some people just genuinely like working in retail. Like me, I'm a cashier, most the other departments claim that cashiering and cart pushing are the two hardest jobs, but I'm HAPPY as a cashier. And then there are multiple people I work with who have worked retail for years, and are again, happy to be there. And my particular store pays well enough, Like it's enough to live on, even if not lavishely. So I just don't see the problem with wanting to stay in retail if it makes me/others happy, and it also pays the bills. Isn't that what everyone always aspires too do? To do something they enjoy and make money off it? And yet when a retailer says they're happy in their position everyone just automatically goes "Oh they have no ambition. They must be lazy."
So I mean, why is it okay to aspire to be like I don't know a photograhpher, or something, but if you're happy working retail, everyone looks down on you? How does hat make sense?
