Trying to get a job at a cell phone place, help?

This is kinda long so there's a tl;dr version down at the bottom.


Hey there guys, i'm trying to get a job at a cell phone place. I currently work at wal-mart for about $8.60 an hour. I've been there for about a 2 years. I think i'm a pretty good employee because within the first 3 months I was asked if i wanted to be a manager over the deli department but i declined because of college but now I don't think i wanna do college anymore. I went to college for general classes for about 2 years. I'm 1 class away from getting an associate degree (I think that's the 2 year degree, right?) but don't really feel like going right now to do that because it's a speech class and the teacher is mean...

Anyways, I work in electronics and the cell phone section of the store is divided up apart from the actual electronics section. The cell phone section is at the front of the store so that means I barely get to talk to customers about that but i do know a good bit about cell phones and have done about ten cell phone activations since I've been working there (It's hard to do them considering I work in a different department)....

Every now and then this guy named Nathan will come into work and put up cell phones and talk to employees about stock and how T Mobile is doing... He's a really cool guy and he knows me really well. He's a Sales Development Representative and said he works only 40 hours a week and gets a base salary plus commission that'll range anywhere from a promised 6k a month to a promised 7k a month so that's really really good money. He said he's worked in California as a T Mobile employee from the bottom-up: regular emplyee, manager, store manager, sales development manager... and where he's at now. Same process: employee, manager, etc...

He said that i'm a great employee and gave me his card, he told me to visit a t mobile store and talk to the store manager after i put in an application. I put one in, put him down as a reference, talked to the store manager, and then talked to Nathan who said he called him later that day to tell him how great I was... so i'm sure i got the job but I was wondering what would it be like to work at a cell phone store?

Is the pay good?
Is it fun?
What stories have you heard?
Any other information.

Tl;dr
Trying to get a job at a cell phone store, already have over a year in electronics experience. Refer to the 3 questions above.

 

really? I was hoping on moving up in the ranks, like the guy that recommended me is a "sales development representative," and he says he makes about 60 to 70k a year and has been in the business for about 6 years. I was hoping to use it as a stepping stone and maybe a career. I've thought about so many things college related and nothing in that area is for me... I love electronics; I love cell phones; I love talking to people and spreading my passion around about electronics and getting paid for it. I thought it'd be a good field to look into?

The guy above you makes it out to seem like a good career like I was hoping but this is why I posted this question on this forum.

Any other things you'd guys would like to say guys?

 

Well i understand that , yeah, i'll eventually get over that but i was mainly just posting on here about a job at a cell phone place and whether or not it's worth making a career in? and yeah, i work at wal-mart..the breeding ground of rude employees/customers haha
