Never turn something that you like into a job. You will loose the thing you enjoyed.
Be mindful of what department you work in. Two friends got jobs at Lowes. One worked from cash register into management. The other had painted and started in the paint department. He hurt his back lifting five gallon buckets of paint up a ladder to stack pallets worth of five gallon buckets on the top shelf.
My nephew sold tools and did not see a future beyond selling more tools. He went to school and will be operating xray and mri machines in a hospital for a hundred grand a year. The benefits are even better, the hospital would have a hard time not offering medical coverage to people working in the hospital.
