I have a MANA degree, 7 yrs of retail experience, but want to get out of retail. What jobs am I qualified for?

The retail experience also includes supervising 12 people, being responsible for and handling at least $6000.00 in cash, and running a 5,000+ foot square foot clothing department. I don’t know what I want to do with my life, but I NEED a change. I’m a perfectionist and need an occupation that demands perfection and attention to detail. I’m tired of leaving at the end of the night wishing I could’ve gotten more done even though I gave my 110%. I want to clock out knowing that I’ve done my job and have done it well. How is it that the 2.5 extra hours I put in each week makes absolutely no difference whatsoever? Those 2.5 hours are paid 15 minute breaks that I don’t take because there is so much that needs to be done and no one to do it except ME! It will NEVER end. I’m not a lawyer or a doctor, so why should I have to put up with that type of stress for less than $12/hr? Please give me some advice on what types of jobs I would enjoy and be qualified for.

    Try a position in customer service.
    Your retail backgroud would come in handy.
    Try a job in retail displays.

    Not every retail ob is as bad as you have it. There are good retailers out there that need qualified people

    You could search for jobs on some of the major job websites like Hotjobs,Monster, Careerbuilder and post your resume on these job boards. You could also search for jobs and post your resume on Craigslist. You can find many jobs from small companies in your area on Craigslist. You could also search for jobs on websites like Simply Hired and Indeed. More information available at
