my friend claims he will make 70/year being a circuit city sales manag

I'd say it's true. Wouldn't surprise me if he made that.

I used to work retail at a Galyan's (now Dicks) and the department heads (managers) there were making over 60 grand before bonuses. The store managers made six figures. I know that the store manager for Lowes made about 250K.

I think for most big-box retailers, the managers make bank while the workers make dick.

Edit: this was about 3 years ago. I was one of the pee-ons. I dont do the retail thing anymore.
