i could maybe get a job at a sneaker store around my way.. but that's like a waste of time to me.. i'm probably gonna be like you in a year or two, ori'm gonna get too old for that @*%@ and they'll let me go.. both are situations i don't want to be in, ever. so i'm stuck.. luckily moneyain't tight right now.. otherwise i'd have no choice.

my question is why you waited for the third "shorter" to approach your employees...
dont mean to sound harsh, but it sounds like you had no business managing the store in the first place
as far as real advice, you should be able to get a job at any retail place that is hiring with 6 years and managerial experience, just hit the mall and applyto every store

working in retail will never get you anywhere in term of financial gain. I say you go back to school and get a degree in healthcare or something that you canrely on for long term

got fired
We had like a almost -$40,000 audit and none of us got fired. It was all from customers stealing cause we were kinda in a bad spot but wedidn't get fired. Hell one store near us had an almost -$100,000 audit and no one got fired, the manager didn't even technically get fired. They justmoved me to one of the top 10 stores in the US where I was making double the commission.
I guess the idea was for them to watch me and to correct the mistakes I made, but I was selling 10+ insoles a day, realized I was better at selling... so theypretty much let me do anything I wanted all over again like in my old store. I left after like 6 months cause the manager was a douche....my true calling iscomic books and art. You gotta do what you love man...

Not always the case, especially if you happen to be in an industry that revolves around, or markets towards lifestyle culture/subculture. Prettymuch any brand under the sun that sells to the 18-34(sometimes 49) demo.
There's lots of gigs out there for folks who are more "lifestyle" oriented. You just have to look in the right places, persist, and don'tsettle for simply what's available to you. It also helps to be in/close proximity to a top 5-10 market city.

They grow up to work in the Music Business.
But that business was a mess BEFORE the recession.
So there goes that.
