I think it starts as entry-level for some people, but that doesn’t mean it has to stay that way. Some people build real careers out of it.

Honestly, I think it depends more on how the role is treated than the industry itself. Retail and hospitality might be entry-level for some, but they’re definitely skilled, customer handling, problem-solving, multitasking under pressure, emotional control… that’s not “unskilled” work.
I don’t think they’re “not meant to be careers,” I think they often become careers when companies actually invest in people and pay accordingly.
