Shop Around for a High Paying Retail Career
According to research conducted by Tesco, a career in retail has one of the highest earning potentials in the UK, second only to a job in management consultancy.
Using figures from the government’s careers advice website, Tesco calculated graduates working in retail had the potential to earn 140000 pound over their first four years of employment. A 21-year-old joining Tesco’s graduate scheme would start on 23000 pound, which could rise to 47000 pound by the time they reach 25. careers in law, architecture or medicine had less initial earning potential due to the extended years of study. A job in journalism was among the careers with the lowest initial earning power. A word to the wise: it doesn’t get much better after four years.
