i dont think you can be 40 and be considered a millenial.
At what age does Gen X starts? 60?

 

[JordanwiththeWiz]

They can and will fire you for that.

Breh you know you can browse USAjobs, Indeed and LinkedIn on your phone. It’s 2022 you basically can do anything on your phone.

what ever the issue is....it's his fault
dude is making $70k in Delaware where you can throw a rock and hit a banking job. plus rent is (way) under $1500 across the state , even in Wilmington
dude doing WAY better than the average person

i was born in 82 and apparently we're millenials, but i feel like we are more gen x. Like i don't feel the same connection to people born in 1995, people in their 20s now.

Fam, the name was coined literally for the chorort that graduated hs in the year 2000

The oldest millenials are 39/40 now. Youngest Gen xers around mid 40's.

50% of the replies are probably posters who are in debt

When yall gonna come to terms with the fact that this section got a lot of cappn .. a lot. Coli never matches the actual stats out there

Maybe he should get out of the hospitality field. I know multiple brothers that are employed as corrections officers in Michigan who are making well over $100K (overtime included). With his college degree he could easily get a job with the government , enroll in the loan forgiveness program and that 47K would be wiped out in 10 years. This dude is a crybaby.

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

That’s some real shyt. That’s reality.

Sounds like a shyt ton of bad decisions and now he complaining as a 40 something....smh

THIS.

In general.
I recommend no one as simple civilian worker.
to use their phone on the job.

I would in general be setting them up to fail profrssionally.
With generally pisspoor bad advice.

Delaware has a lot of banking jobs. It may not be necessary to move if he has a decent resume

as a teller or entry level? The guy is a hotel manager. I don’t see that instantly pivoting to finance/banking especially with all that debt I doubt he’d Want an entry level position

"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 only 40 though. A lot of life still left potentially.

 

[OnFleekTing]

That's not down bad
this dude is worried about nothing
any debt under 100k is easy mode to pay off within 10 years
He needs to hear the stories of people who have 200k in student loans

“There’s very little to offer in the way of affordable housing around here, even at the salary that I’m at right now, Bryant adds. While he makes about $70,000, Bryant says “in the grand scheme of things, it’s really just a living wage.”

Aint it the truth

Not if you live with your parents he is also a vet so while he doesn’t have a pension he has free healthcare
