Although its taking me a lot of pride and big bitter pill to swallow, I am thinking (at 26 years old) to go back to the retail job I had when I was in high school. Would you do it? I need money and it would only be for a month! Any other suggestions? Maybe waitressing would be better because I would make tips? Also, I am starting school in the fall and have a lot of admin experience. Its only for a month or two though...

Actually, if you look at it another way you are kind of lucky that you have a job you can go back to. There are a lot of unemployed people who formerly worked as highly trained professionals that would like to have any job about now. It sounds like it's not going to be permanent so I would say go for it. And as a former waitress in high school I would go with the retail job unless you are a real people pleaser with a lot of patience. People can be real cranky when they are hungry.

If the job you had in high school bring in more money then you are making now then yes. What's wrong with a 26 year old working in retail? That's where most young people work anyway. You should see the 98 year old women that work at Macys.

I am in a similar situation. I just graduated from college, and I am back at my degree. It is kind of hard to go back to the job you had in high school.

Retail offers a lot of flexibility. You may find it a refreshing change while you are in school sitting all day, to be on your feet at night.
Would you work at the job you had in high school?
