While there was a lot of news about Donald Trump running for President in the US today, I noticed that there was news about the retail chain Gap and how it was planning to close 175 stores. I guess you can say the year of the traditional retail chains going under continues.
If you are a bargain shopper that means there will be deals to be found as usual. For those affected as a result of layoffs it probably makes you wonder if it is not wise to start investing in a different kind of trade or skillet as there seems to be no stop to the decline in traditional retail. It makes me wonder if you could easily change your career to things like a consultant if you have quite a bit of experience in the retail space.
Like there, technically your skills can be used by multiple companies as opposed to being tied down to one company. That would require you to be a little entrepreneurial of course. Might seem scarier, but maybe doing things like that part-time while doing full time work is a better safe measure to an unpredictable marketplace.
