ThredUP is an online second-hand store. James Reinhart, the founder (创始人) of ThredUP, once said, “You have to go where the customer is going.”Now some popular department stores(百货公司), like J.C．Penney and Macy’s, have started selling old clothes, too.

It has also started to leave areas in the store to recycle (回收) old clothes from customers. Many customers think it’s very convenient. Customers want to pay less for clothes. And they’d rather see their old clothes worn again than thrown away.A report on ThredUp shows that sales of second-hand clothes will grow from $24 billion in 2018 to $51 billion by 2023. Another study finds that one-third of the customers sold unwanted clothes to buy new ones.However, Neil Saunders, the director of Global Data Retail, thinks selling old clothes can destroy the relationship between stores and suppliers(供货商) of new clothes.

经过几次面试之后，位于他家附近的Worcester的Hanover保险公司雇佣他为副理赔员，年薪四万美元。

但在正式的通知到来之前，Nicholson就已经决定不要这份工作。

他认为，与其把大学毕业后的几年浪费在一份没有前途的工作上，还不如等待一份大企业的职位，能用上大学所学的知识，使自己的职业生涯能有一个起步。

“拒绝了这份工作之后，要去跟父母谈这件事情比起拒绝这份工作更让我为难。

”他说。

尤其是和他父亲的谈话，他作好了充分的准备。
