Retail is brutal in the US. Probably the only thing worse is the service (restaurant industry) so much respect for people in the restaurant industry. I did retail through college and for about a year after graduation. 

 hvac was easier than retail 😭 

 there are tons of jobs out there that are meritocracy based, not degree based though

the bigger question is, what job would you be happy with? 

 i mean i’ve been looking in my area for almost a month and there’s not a ton of options my dude lol… even if there is, they usually go for ppl who apply that have degrees anyways. just how it goes in the usa 

 what would you want to do? 

 it’s a range of a lot of things. it’s more general. it depends on what opportunities that are presented. i’m not searching for anything particular.
