Sell your sole to the shit retail company you work for and go into management. You have a degree, so you're already better than 90% of the fucks you're competing with for the positions. I used to wageslave for a grocery chain where the store managers cleared over a 100k a year

Get into sales. I was in much the same position as you, $25k in debt, working retail. I slowly made my way up into a Sales Manager, for a paltry $25k a year, and was looking at another year or two before I could make my way into a much better paying manager position with a different company. Unfortunately I needed income *now*.

I then got into retail furniture sales, and had boosted my income to $55k my first year, $70k my second. I'm a Sales Manager now at the same place, and while I make a bit less at $65k, it's a lot less stress.

I'm thinking of making the jump to car sales, but yeah, try sales.
