I am extremely bored and under stimulated without being in school or working.
I liked how receptive my partner was

Thank you for telling me. I'm sorry to hear that. What did you do for your job?

I was a manager of a retail store that closed.

I see. That's a very important role for any business. I bet there are numerous other retailers out there looking for a good manager to hire.

That is true, I am just not sure if that is what I want to do anymore
user

I see. Well then, if this helps. The store closing might have been a positive thing, so you could find your next passion.

I will also add, that being a Manager means you have some very important skills that would translate well to your next job, or anything you decide to do.
assistant

That's true. I know the experience will help me but I still miss it

Also, let's say you decided to work for another company, something new, outside of retail. Because you were a manager, you could also be promoted more quickly because of your management experience.

That is also true. I guess I just need to decide what I want to do now. That is probably the most difficult part.
user

Yes, it sounds like a part of you still misses the retail environment. I see that too. My best advice, is take a few days to think about what you really want to do. Think about what you are skilled at. Then decide which route you want to go. I know there will be numerous options out there for you in retail management, but if you wanted to do something different, there will be opportunities there too. Because you have options, you will likely pick the choice that will be most fulfilling for you, in something you will be passionate about - so this will likely be very positive for you.

That is really nice to say. I guess I am also just scared to go for something and have it not be as fulfilling as I thought
user

that's possible. but you will have plenty of options either way. Could be a different retail store, or something new.
assistant
Affirmation and Reassurance
Yeah. It is a big decision, though. Thanks for talking it out with me
user
null
Yes, of course. Take some time to think it through. Weigh your options, and the pros and cons of each. Then pick the option that will be the most rewarding for you.
