Get a Bachelor's then go in a store and ask for an application for the manager trainee position. Fill it out then they will give you a simple math test and I mean simple. After a couple of weeks you get a call to interview and if all goes well they should offer you the job right there and then since they don't do a drug test for the hiring process.

One on one interview with the district manager. I was asked questions about my resume, why I wanted to work at Big 5, and if I was willing to float to other stores to gain experience at each store location.
