Charles Bryant is turning 40 next month, but in some ways, his career path feels like he’s just graduating high school again. And he’s nowhere near where he expected to be at this point in his life.

A New York native now living in Delaware, Bryant was working as a hotel manager when the pandemic shut down operations. He had to furlough 36 out of the hotel’s 40 employees and the property turned into a temporary homeless shelter during the pandemic. After taking a pay cut for a while, he eventually left. “The pandemic halted all the positive momentum I had built professionally in the 10 years prior,” Bryant tells Fortune.

"I played the game and went to school and I did very well," Charles Bryant says. "Every job I’ve worked, I've worked very hard, and it didn't pay off. It feels very unfair.”

Meet a millennial who is turning 40, starting yet another new career and has $47,000 in debt. ‘I’ve worked very hard and it didn’t pay off. It feels very unfair.’ – Fortune

He’s a hotel manager. He could shift gears to program/project manager for a customer service department and make 60-80k/yr.

he needs to get tf out of Delaware asap. There are jobs that will hire him in major cities. shyt, get a room for a year. Pay off your debt then get a crib and continue to stack.

Idk if he'd be a good project manager but he might be decent at property management for a real estate company or just sticking to hotels in a better market.

Just because you play the game doesn't mean everybody going to win. Real life doesn't give out participation trophies.

A lot of this is self inflicted but hopefully he pulls himself out of debt
