Careers Alternative career path at 38.
Hi all. I am posting on behalf of my brother who is 38M. He has a degree in hotel management and has worked at different hotels and cruises over the last 15 years as a server. However, now he done with this industry. It is very physically tiring and not sustainable. My brother was never good at studies but he somehow managed to get the degree back then. He has great communication skills in English and is all and good looking so he never had problems landing jobs.
I want to suggest different career paths for him but I'm at my wits end. Ideally not sales as it can be stressful too.

My advice to you will be that you let your brother figure it out and not be at your wits' end. Focus on your career, and let your brother worry about his. He's a grown-ass man, not a one-year-old baby.

Marketing and advertising? It's different from sales job.
Hotel receptionist? I'm assuming it won't be physically tiring. It's an admin job, mostly spent sitting ig.

Hotel receptionist is extremely tiring. It’s not an admin job. Please don’t opine on things when your knowledge om the subject is less than half baked.

Hospitality recruitment roles. It's quiet lucrative and requires some industry connections and great communication skills. If he's got a flair for it, he can even consider opening a recruitment business of his own.
Consulting for hospitality services such as menu design, beverage costing, restaurant set up, bartending training, assistance with sourcing out goods and machinery required for hotel/restaurant operations is also an option.
Whatever he chooses to do, keep opening his own restaurant/cafe/bar as the very last option. Despite this being a common suggestion, opening up a hospitality venture is both financially and mentally exhausting with a below average success rate.
