Just before Christmas, I decided to get a part-time job to earn a little money while I was looking for more permanent employment or an internship as part of my master’s degree. I applied to some local businesses, one of which was a women’s clothing store. Though I liked shopping there, I never thought I’d work there. In fact, just the opposite. I thought I would never work in retail! It wasn’t that I thought there is anything wrong with retail, but it just wasn’t what I wanted to do.
