Apple Store Genius
Pros: Ridiculously easy job. They teach you all the minor tech skills you need to diagnose their famously reliable products. All you have to be is nice to people and you'll breeze through your work day. It's impossible to get fired, because they don't hold you to any metrics (like number of customer's seen daily or number of devices repaired daily).
Cons: You DON'T work for Apple. You work in retail. Make no mistake, Apple stores are unlike working in any other retail shop in a mall. It's a retail job, so plan on working every weekend and having days off during the week. Holidays are a mess, but that's the nature of retail.
Once you work your way up to Genius, there's nothing left but management.
