I wasn't talking retail, I was talking about apple corporate jobs, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if they paid their retail employees rather crappily as well.i agree, working at an apple store, 'technical' as it may be - you can do alot better. let's not forget why one works - for money! i'm 17 and work at an entertainment centre - $30 an hour. A job as a genius would be more technical than what i do.
