I too used to work at a Best Buy store in Mobile Audio (and some Home too) for 5 years. I was essentially the trainer for the store and had the responsibility for getting new hires in the department up to speed. Not bad for only being part time (Sat/Sun only) while working a full time job as an accountant for an insurance company in downtown Chicago. They would have made me the supervisor (actually offered it to me) but they couldn't afford me. :-)
). Before that, for the most part, I worked as a senior IT architect/consultant for messaging migration projects for several years, also had a stint as an app dev guy for about two years.
