I have a fair amount of retail experience and have created a bowl to help fellow consultants who are interviewing in retail and CPG. My experience is across a wide range of topics (primarily non technical) and would love to help folks get their dream job. Would be awesome if others can join and contribute their knowledge.

I don't feel like it has at all. I have a Master's degree and sometimes I feel it has hindered me. I get the "you are overqualified" comment all the time.
If you’re looking into going back to school, why would you stay in retail? Unless you’re looking for like some kind of corporate position or merchandising position? Going back to school usually means you’re trying to get out of retail. Getting a degree, isn’t likely going to help you earn more money if you’re just working at the store level.

It all depends on you and what best fits your personal career goals. I want to start my business next year because I feel like no job will pay me for what I deserve. I’m tired of working for someone and what a bit of freedom and more time to travel.
I have a Master's Degree and I'm stuck here. It has not helped me haha
