This week on Career Crashers Joel is joined by Ron Thurston to talk about why your retail work is an incredible place to start and build a career.

Ron is Vice President of Stores at INTERMIX a division of Gap Inc. and has been retail leadership for 25+ years. He is also the author of Retail Pride: The Guide to Celebrating Your Accidental Career.

For so many of us, retail and service jobs are our introduction to work. They help us pay the rent, but also teach us the fundamental skills of creating value for others. But too many people don't look at their work in retail with pride. Ron is on a mission to change that.
