When I worked in retail many DECADES ago, you could make great money. We were commissioned sales. Part time, full benefits (yep that is long gone) and when you got to work you hustled, build a client base, knew your produce that after about 3 months, you would just keep your customers happy (the days of customer Rolodexes). That was way before the big box stores and online crushed the hell out of commissioned sales.

You had to know your product, you had to know the trends, you had to know the competition and most of all you had to develop a customer network and take care of those customers. Great work, put me through college. Now, I haven't a clue if commissioned sales in retail even exist anymore.
