re: Hospitality industry question

A good career move depends on your goals: if you want nights and weekends off and some schedule flexibility, then you're really talking about a job outside of direct retail. Have you thought about foodservice sales? Selling bar or resto equipment, working for a beverage distributor, or a similar company might keep you in the same industry but will have radically different hours.

I have a brother in the hospitality industry--despite being an equity stakeholder in multiple properties, he still frequently works nights & weekends. That's just the nature of the business....
