Career Prospects
One of the greatest myths in today’s retail
environment is that one does not need college to
work in retail. While there certainly are talented
individuals who bring the right combination of
natural skills without higher education, as
business gets more competitive, retailers begin to
seek more educated, knowledgeable, and
career-minded employees.
In fact, many large retailers now require general
or specific types of college degrees for entry
into management training or career programs. The
country’s economy continues to involve into a more
service-oriented economy. Product focus has given
way to service orientation in many cases. The
battle to deliver what consumers’ demand has
driven retailers to seek out higher caliber,
focused candidates
As the retail environment evolves, consumers
become more demanding, and retailer’s need more
educated, knowledgeable, and motivated people
running their organizations. This presents a great
opportunity for thoughtful and career-minded
college students to make themselves marketable
with an appropriate degree and good skill
development.
