Are their any retail stores, that would start me out as a Supervisor based on a college degree?
Asked by Curious George
I have a college degree in Business Administration, but no management experience. Are there any stores who would be willing to make me a supervisor, just based on my degree?

Best Answer:
No. In retail they usually promote based on your performance. Though most upper management job descriptions read that they require a bachelors degree I have found that most people in those positions have been promoted up from within and do not have a degree at all. Being a retail supervisor is very hard work and the best way to find a supervisor in that kind of environment is to see how they do as an associate first. Often you can start in a mid level postion with a college education and will get paid a little more.

Sorry, but everybody needs to train for job. Most likely the best you could get would be assistant manager on fast track. Most major companies us fast track - so long at each position as you progress.
