my first jobs were at radio shack, office max, and staples. always as a salesperson. always work was interesting at first because i got to learn about people and about technology (in the technology sales departments), but i quickly became frustrated with having to serve my company by exploiting people. they tried to convince me that getting people to buy way more than they needed was really helping those persons.
eventually i couldn't take it anymore and upon giving my two week notice for the last of the three jobs (staples) i informed my boss that i thought retail sales was an evil occupation and that i hoped never to have to work in such a self centered manipulative occupation ever again.
i've worked as a mathematics tutor/teacher since then and will do whatever i have to to avoid a sts or as i like to think of it "service in opposition to others' best interests to promote mine and my superiors' gains" job again. good luck to you!
