Not a thing wrong with that, but please: let's not have you attempting to backtrack because you happened to agree with me.

Silly Pyramid, you're confusing the preferred option with being the easiest also you've obviously forgotten to read my post since I did mention that unless you have experience then it's difficult to get into retail since you will be cast aside for anyone with previous experience.

It's only easy to get a job in retail as a first job in the right circumstances, like if a company is doing a big recruitment drive or if a job falls under the radar, both of which can be rare.

So yes, retail jobs can be easy to get into in the right circumstances which your argument seems to hinge on but then again that's true for any job, even yours. You found a new job easily because the circumstances were right for you, you could have very well been out of work for a lot longer if things were even a tiny bit different but you were lucky that you managed to find something that fit your circumstances quickly. Not everyone is as lucky as you are and it does seem uncouth to judge an industry or a group of people just because they might not have the same circumstances as you.
