We've hired several college grads (ages 22-50) for very entry level 'shift department lead' management jobs at my retail store in the last year, even with the understanding that they will leave if they find a job as long as they give us a proper notice as long as their hours are flexible. If you go apply at a retail store and ask for weekends and nights off completely, don't expect to be hired. They tend to work much harder than a lot of younger kids which is the reason they were hired. And a couple of the ones who have stayed a while have been promoted to a department heads which make 25-37k a year. Several of my supervisors did this several yeras back as college grads, never left the business, and now are the general managers making 40-75k a year. All full time employees at my store get cheap healthcare/dental/life insurance (after 3 months) and 401k (after 1 year).
