Have you considered going to trade school? Those jobs are always in high demand and the pay is amazing.
Conversation Starter
I have been putting some thought about that and I am confused what exactly should I do. I have worked so much on my house renovations so far and I feel like I should make this my career.
Do you have transferable skills that could take you out of retail but still use your current education and training? I'm considering going back to school but I never finished my degree and so that's a big factor.

I have education in environment management and I did complete my degree for that. I have thought for going back to school for something completely different.
When I was MUCH younger than I am now, I remember some "old" person (who somehow is also younger than I am now) debating going back to school, and saying "but when I graduate in 4 years, I will be XX years old" The response was "And if you don't go back to school and graduate, how old will you be in four years?"
That has always stuck with me, and as I have gotten older and older, it becomes even more relevant.
Will you get a good job in another field after investing that time and money? Hard to say. But I am pretty confident that, if you don't, you will NOT get what you want. And, etiher way, you are still 4 (or whatever) years older.
