5 Jobs So DESPERATE For Workers They'll Pay Six Figures — Transcript

Full transcript

1. 0:00These are five jobs so desperate for
2. 0:02workers that they will pay six figures
3. 0:04and I'm confident at least one of them
4. 0:06is a real fit for you even if your gut
5. 0:09says no chance. Some are dirty, some are
6. 0:11dangerous, and at least one is so
7. 0:13strange that you'll think that I made it
8. 0:15up. And every one of them pays over
9. 0:16$100,000 without a college degree. And
10. 0:18most will pay you while they train you.
11. 0:20And I went over $300,000 in student loan
12. 0:22debt for a doctorate that I barely used.
13. 0:25And I was stuck in a medical career that
14. 0:26I couldn't get out of. So, I built the
15. 0:28career channel that I wish I'd had at 18
16. 0:29years old. And since then we've helped
17. 0:30people land careers that they actually
18. 0:32want with over 1,000 verified
19. 0:33testimonials. So, here's the pattern
20. 0:35that nobody teaches you. The second
21. 0:36normal people say no thanks, the pay
22. 0:39starts climbing. One remote town for
23. 0:40instance got so desperate that it put up
24. 0:42a job for $428,000,
25. 0:44free rent, and a car on the table just
26. 0:47to fill one seat. That's leverage. The
27. 0:48employer isn't interviewing you anymore,
28. 0:50you're interviewing them. So, in this
29. 0:52video everything is sourced and on the
30. 0:53screen with real people, no AI slop. If
31. 0:55you appreciate me making this type of
32. 0:56content, then let me know by gently
33. 0:58choosing that like button. And let's
34. 1:00jump into it right now.
35. 1:03Okay, so the first one on the list is
36. 1:04going to be elevator technician. So, you
37. 1:07rode an elevator this week and you never
38. 1:08once thought about who fixes it. And
39. 1:10this job means dark shafts, live
40. 1:12electricity, and 2:00 a.m. trouble
41. 1:13calls. And I can already hear you, if
42. 1:15this job really paid well Shane,
43. 1:17everybody would be doing it. Except
44. 1:19nobody even knows it exists. And the few
45. 1:21who find it take one look at the shaft,
46. 1:22the machine crew, and the crawl spaces
47. 1:24and they say, nope, out loud. So,
48. 1:26there's a Trades Podcast episode that's
49. 1:27literally titled Elevator Mechanics are
50. 1:29the highest paid in the trades and it
51. 1:31has 154,000 views. A union rep on it
52. 1:34says top guys make $200,000 a year on
53. 1:37the check and only four out of every 10
54. 1:38retiring mechanics are being replaced.
55. 1:40So, the pipeline is leaking from the
56. 1:42top. So, these are the people who
57. 1:43install and fix the elevators every
58. 1:45building over three stories depends on.
59. 1:47Now, here's the receipt. The BLS median
60. 1:48is $106,000 a year. That's not the top
61. 1:51guy, that's the middle guy. So, in order
62. 1:52to get into this you need a high school
63. 1:54diploma and the apprenticeship pays you,
64. 1:55right? They literally pay you to learn
65. 1:57how to do this trade, and you typically
66. 1:58carry zero debt. But you might be
67. 2:00thinking, "Well, a union trade like that
68. 2:02would be so hard to get into, right?"
69. 2:03Well, my brother Zach has been in the
70. 2:05trades for almost 30 years, and he now
71. 2:07helps people find the right trade career
72. 2:08for them. And by the way, this pick came
73. 2:10straight from you guys. The top comment
74. 2:12on our last jobs video called out
75. 2:13elevator mechanic and wanted me to talk
76. 2:15more about it. So, you get in as an
77. 2:16apprentice, and it's a 100K plus once
78. 2:18you're trained. So, yeah, that's your
79. 2:19answer, and yes, this is a really good
80. 2:21career for the right type of person.
81. 2:22Now, hold on to Zach because what he did
82. 2:24after getting into the trades is the
83. 2:26real story. See, he made lots of money
84. 2:28in the trades. He's in his early 50s,
85. 2:29and he already has nearly enough money
86. 2:31to retire. But he started a second
87. 2:33income by making a YouTube channel about
88. 2:35the trades. And of course, he got help
89. 2:37from me since I'm the YouTube boys. And
90. 2:39using my system, his first video on his
91. 2:41channel popped off, got over 800,000
92. 2:43views, and 29 days after posting that
93. 2:44first video, he made $214 in a single
94. 2:47day. That's a $78,000 a year run rate,
95. 2:49so he went from zero to full-time income
96. 2:51in less than 1 month. And then he
97. 2:53finished off his first year on YouTube
98. 2:54making $18,000 in a single month. And
99. 2:57I'm going to be talking about exactly
100. 2:58how he grew his channel in an exclusive
101. 2:59live training that we are doing this
102. 3:01week. Click the first link in the
103. 3:02description and the pin comment below to
104. 3:03check it out. In this live training,
105. 3:04we're going to be teaching you
106. 3:05step-by-step, even if you're older, even
107. 3:07if you have no experience, even if
108. 3:09you're not tech-savvy, even if you've
109. 3:10never made a video in your life, and
110. 3:11you're not charismatic, because those
111. 3:13are all things that are true for Zach,
112. 3:14exactly how to start a YouTube channel
113. 3:16as a complete beginner, and how to use
114. 3:18this system, whether you have a YouTube
115. 3:19channel or not, to pick the right niche,
116. 3:21target the right people, and actually
117. 3:22grow a channel that makes money, right?
118. 3:24Cuz there's a lot of broke YouTubers out
119. 3:25there, and I don't want you to be one.
120. 3:27So, this is a limited-time event, and

126. 3:36below because it'll automatically put
127. 3:37you on a waitlist for whenever we do the
128. 3:38next live event. All right, YouTube just
129. 3:41got 10 times easier, and nobody is
130. 3:44talking about it. You used to need an
131. 3:46entire film crew, and it used to be a
132. 3:48full-time job for you to just do any
133. 3:50work at all on YouTube. But now you can
134. 3:53get work done in as little as 15 to 30
135. 3:55minutes a day and you can actually grow
136. 3:56a full-time YouTube channel. That's
137. 3:58exactly what I'll be talking about at
138. 4:00the live training that we're doing this
139. 4:02week. Exactly how to start YouTube
140. 4:05step-by-step for beginners. So, click

144. 4:11during, and after the live training.
145. 4:13It's completely free. Plus, I'll be
146. 4:15giving away an AI that is designed to
147. 4:17help you pick your niche if you don't
148. 4:18have one in the first place. you already
149. 4:20have a niche, it's going to help you
150. 4:21make it 10 times better. So, really
151. 4:24looking forward to talking with you
152. 4:25guys. This is stuff that we've never
153. 4:26talked about before. So, click that link
154. 4:28in the description and comment below. I
155. 4:30look forward to seeing you there. Okay,
156. 4:31so the next one is going to be a New
157. 4:33York City sanitation worker. Now, I'm
158. 4:35choosing New York City specifically, but
159. 4:37of course this can work in many
160. 4:38different towns. So, this is basically
161. 4:39picking up garbage at 5:00 a.m. in
162. 4:41January and the city still can't fill
163. 4:43the shifts. In 1 year, 94 of these
164. 4:45workers made over $100,000 just in
165. 4:48overtime alone. Not even their base pay.
166. 4:50Just overtime. So, go ahead and say it.
167. 4:52Come on, Shane, it's the trash guy.
168. 4:54There's no way they make that much
169. 4:55money. Well, CNBC made a whole video
170. 4:56about this exact job and the title is
171. 4:58making 44K a year as a sanitation worker
172. 5:00in New York City. And that video has
173. 5:02938,000 views. Now, hold that 44K in
174. 5:05your head because it's about to look
175. 5:06very different. And the internet's
176. 5:07obsession with this job gets weirder.
177. 5:09The Elon sat down with a New York
178. 5:11garbage man for almost 3 hours and that
179. 5:13episode has 4.7 million views. Millions
180. 5:15of people showed up for pure trash talk.
181. 5:17No pun intended. Now, garbage is like
182. 5:19dishes at a restaurant. When the
183. 5:21dishwasher doesn't show up, the pile
184. 5:22just keeps growing and the restaurant
185. 5:24pays whatever it takes to make that pile
186. 5:26go away. And New York is the biggest
187. 5:27restaurant on the planet. So, one man's
188. 5:29garbage becomes another man's 200 to
189. 5:31300,000. And these are the people
190. 5:32keeping the biggest city in America from
191. 5:34drowning in its own trash. Now, the
192. 5:36numbers come straight from the city's
193. 5:37own page. You start at $47,752
194. 5:40a year. By year 5 and a half, you're at
195. 5:42$95,316.
196. 5:44And that's just the base pay. Remember,
197. 5:46overtime can take you far over $100,000.
198. 5:48And in the shortage years, it gets
199. 5:50crazy. Fox News reported that some of
200. 5:52these workers saw their pay approach
201. 5:53$300,000
202. 5:55a year. That's $300,000 for picking up
203. 5:57garbage. So, every job on this list is
204. 5:59starving for people. Every number was
205. 6:01sourced on the screen, and if one fits
206. 6:02you, go take it. But, did you catch the
207. 6:04pattern? Look at every job that we just
208. 6:06covered. People are making YouTube
209. 6:08videos about every single one of them.
210. 6:09And they're getting paid to do it. And
211. 6:11this is what I started off doing as
212. 6:12well. I made the career channel that I
213. 6:14wanted and I wish that I had when I was
214. 6:16younger. And now I've taught hundreds of
215. 6:17other people to do the exact same thing.
216. 6:18My brother's just one example, but
217. 6:20there's Nicole who made it to 80,000 in
218. 6:22a single month teaching people how to
219. 6:23get into a career called governance,
220. 6:24risk, and compliance. Josh who made it
221. 6:26to over $180,000 a month teaching people
222. 6:28how to get into various different
223. 6:29cybersecurity and IT-related careers.
224. 6:31Kadisha made it to over $100,000 a month
225. 6:33teaching people how to get into data
226. 6:34analytics careers. Seth made hundreds of
227. 6:37thousands of dollars a year teaching
228. 6:38people how to get into digital marketing
229. 6:39careers. Troy's made millions of dollars
230. 6:41teaching people how to get into tech
231. 6:42sales careers. Antoine's made millions
232. 6:44of dollars teaching African Americans
233. 6:45how to get into various different
234. 6:46careers. And the list goes on and on.
235. 6:48And it's not just careers. Alex Shep
236. 6:49made it to $15,000 a month teaching
237. 6:52people how to graduate from college
238. 6:53faster. Dr. Clifford Stumme made it to
239. 6:55multiple six figures a year teaching
240. 6:56busy adults how to get the right online
241. 6:58degrees really quickly. And Richard
242. 6:59Walls made it to $12,000 in a single
243. 7:01month teaching people how to get the
244. 7:02right online MBAs as well as
245. 7:04certifications to get raises or to get a
246. 7:06better job. Felix makes millions a year
247. 7:08teaching people how to invest. Nurse
248. 7:09Jan, who is in her 60s, made it to
249. 7:10$10,000 in just a few months teaching
250. 7:13people how to age better. And she was
251. 7:14able to quit her nursing job and now
252. 7:16she's traveling all over the United
253. 7:17States in a camper van. And Nathan Rose
254. 7:18made it to a full-time income with a
255. 7:20tiny chess channel literally teaching
256. 7:22adult learners how to play chess better.
257. 7:23And they all did it without having to
258. 7:25learn any new skills because they're
259. 7:26just teaching what they already know.
260. 7:28And if you want to know the exact system
261. 7:30that I've developed that helped all of
262. 7:31them go from zero to a full-time income,
263. 7:33then go ahead and click the first link
264. 7:34in the description in the pin comment
265. 7:35below to attend our live training this
266. 7:37week. Again, this is a limited-time
267. 7:39event. There are limited seats as well.
268. 7:41So, do not miss out on this live
269. 7:42training. Click that first link in the
270. 7:43description and the pin comment below,
271. 7:44and I'll also be answering questions
272. 7:46before, during, and after, so you'll get
273. 7:47to meet me. Oh, and I'll also be giving
274. 7:48away an AI that helps you choose the
275. 7:50right niche for you if you don't have
276. 7:51one in the first place, or if you
277. 7:53already have a niche, it'll help you
278. 7:54make your niche 10 times better. So,
279. 7:56yeah, don't miss out on it, and once you
280. 7:57sign up, make sure you put it on your
281. 7:58calendar. And if you're seeing this in
282. 7:59the future, still click that first link
283. 8:01in the description and the pin comment
284. 8:02below cuz it'll automatically put you on
285. 8:04a wait list for whenever we do the next
286. 8:05live training. All right, this next job
287. 8:06is hiding in plain sight, and it's the
288. 8:08golf ball diver. And I know this job
289. 8:11sounds completely fake, but it isn't,
290. 8:13right? There is zero visibility down
291. 8:15there, and you cannot see your own hand,
292. 8:17and you feel through the muck by touch,
293. 8:18and you share that water with snakes,
294. 8:20snapping turtles, and in Florida, actual
295. 8:22alligators. And the pay runs $100 an
296. 8:25hour per pond. Now, I know what you're
297. 8:26thinking, "Shane, you made this one up."
298. 8:28I didn't. One Florida diver made over
299. 8:30$15 million in his career doing this. He
300. 8:33literally made $15 million dodging
301. 8:35alligators for golf balls. And 3.5
302. 8:38million people watched the YouTube video
303. 8:39about that story. Now, there's a whole
304. 8:41channel called Golf Roos, where these
305. 8:43guys film themselves wading into golf
306. 8:45course ponds and pulling out thousands
307. 8:47of golf balls. One video is called We
308. 8:49Found Thousands of Golf Balls in the
309. 8:50Dried-Up Pond, and it sits at 3.4
310. 8:52million views. That is 3.4 million views
311. 8:55of grown men collecting balls. And
312. 8:57here's the smart part, they don't just
313. 8:58film it, they sell every ball that they
314. 9:00pull through their own online store. So,
315. 9:01the videos are the advertising, and the
316. 9:03pond pays them three times. Once to
317. 9:05actually do the job, once to make
318. 9:07YouTube videos about doing the job
319. 9:08because they get AdSense from those
320. 9:09YouTube videos, and then once selling
321. 9:11the golf balls afterwards. So, this job
322. 9:13is basically bobbing for apples, except
323. 9:15the apples are worth a dime each. The
324. 9:17water is gravy, and the gravy has
325. 9:19alligators in it. And the grosser the
326. 9:20water, the cleaner the money. So, these
327. 9:22are the people who dive in murky golf
328. 9:23course ponds for lost balls that get
329. 9:25cleaned and resold by the millions. So,
330. 9:27let's do the honest pay math. Most
331. 9:28part-time divers pull 26 to 50,000
332. 9:31dollars a year, and top earners push
333. 9:3362,000. But, keep in mind, this is
334. 9:35part-time. And also, there's a general
335. 9:36rule that I talk about on this channel
336. 9:38where any job that requires physical
337. 9:39work, usually the pays are listed a bit
338. 9:41lower than the reality of the situation.
339. 9:44And this is for a bunch of different
340. 9:45reasons, but one of them is that a lot
341. 9:46of the cash probably gets paid to you in
342. 9:49person. So, they're not necessarily
343. 9:50reporting how much they're making. But,
344. 9:51the full-time pros are a different
345. 9:53animal. CBS followed a diver who nets
346. 9:55$100,000 a year, and he collects
347. 9:57millions of balls a year at a dime a
348. 9:59ball. So, you can do the math on that.
349. 10:01And hold that thought because there's a
350. 10:02second paycheck hiding inside every job
351. 10:04on this list that I'll show you in a few
352. 10:06minutes. All right, next job is going to
353. 10:07be a saturation diver. Now, this job
354. 10:10sounds a little bit like science
355. 10:11fiction. They get sealed inside a steel
356. 10:13chamber the size of a minivan for 28
357. 10:15days breathing helium and doing
358. 10:17construction shifts hundreds of feet
359. 10:19below the ocean. And you might be
360. 10:20thinking, "Well, Shay, nobody chooses
361. 10:22that. And if they do, the pay can't be
362. 10:23real." Well, it is real. A channel
363. 10:25called The Weld Lab sat down with a real
364. 10:27underwater welder, and the video's
365. 10:28called $1,500 a day welding underwater.
366. 10:31And the number is right there in the
367. 10:32title. And the video has over 260,000
368. 10:35views. So, why is a welder making $1,500
369. 10:38a day? Well, Business Insider has the
370. 10:40answer. They call this the deadliest job
371. 10:42in the world, and their video on it has
372. 10:441.7 million views. And these welders are
373. 10:46about 40 times more likely to die on the
374. 10:48job than the average American worker.
375. 10:49And that is exactly why the pay looks
376. 10:51stupid. You see, lobster costs $40
377. 10:53because of how hard it is to actually
378. 10:54capture them and get the meat out of the
379. 10:56shell. And this job is the same. They're
380. 10:58not paying you for the welding, they're
381. 10:59paying you for the difficulty. And these
382. 11:00are the people building and repairing
383. 11:02things hundreds of feet underwater. They
384. 11:04live in that chamber between shifts, so
385. 11:05they only decompress once. And
386. 11:07ZipRecruiter has saturation diving at
387. 11:09$123,000
388. 11:10a year on average. And the crazy part is
389. 11:12the floor. Even the bottom 25% clears
390. 11:14$101,000
391. 11:16a year. And the craziest thing is, they
392. 11:18usually don't work full-time. They work
393. 11:20on and off shifts, and they typically
394. 11:21end up working about half the year. So,
395. 11:23day rates run $1,300 to $1,500 a night.
396. 11:26And if you work more, you can make a
397. 11:27heck of a lot more, even over $200,000 a
398. 11:30year. YouTube and building your personal
399. 11:32brand just got 10 times easier and
400. 11:35nobody's talking about it. And the
401. 11:36reason it got 10 times easier is because
402. 11:38of AI and specifically Claude AI. And
403. 11:40that's what we're going to be talking
404. 11:41about in this week's live training that
405. 11:43we're doing. Click the link down the
406. 11:45description and the pin comment below. I
407. 11:46will be there. I'll be answering
408. 11:47questions before, during, and after.
409. 11:50We'll also be giving you an AI that's
410. 11:52been designed to help you pick your
411. 11:53niche if you don't have one in the first
412. 11:54place or if you already have one, it's
413. 11:56going to help you make it 10 times
414. 11:58better. So, we worked very hard on this
415. 11:59AI. People absolutely love it. We've
416. 12:01literally gotten hundreds of comments
417. 12:02from people that love it, so you do not
418. 12:04want to miss out on it. And if you're
419. 12:05watching this in the future for whatever
420. 12:07reason or it's already past the time of
421. 12:08the live training, still click on that
422. 12:10link because we will be having more live
423. 12:12trainings in the future and you will be
424. 12:14the first person to know cuz it'll put
425. 12:15you on a wait list for that. But with
426. 12:16that being said, it's completely free,
427. 12:18no reason not to attend. Click that link
428. 12:20in the description and the pin comment
429. 12:21below and I'll see you on the other
430. 12:22side. All right, the next one is an air
431. 12:24traffic controller. Now, this job might
432. 12:26be one of the most stressful ones in
433. 12:28America, and that's why it pays so well.
434. 12:30So, the FAA is 3,544
435. 12:33controllers short. Over 40% of their
436. 12:34facilities are understaffed, and the
437. 12:36government got so desperate that they're
438. 12:38running recruitment ads targeting video
439. 12:40gamers. I'm not kidding. The
440. 12:42government's actual ad campaign is
441. 12:44called it's not a game, it's a career.
442. 12:46So, who knew that your Xbox and
443. 12:47PlayStation hours were your resume all
444. 12:49along. But Shane, don't you need a
445. 12:50degree and a military background for
446. 12:51that? No, you don't need a 4-year
447. 12:53degree. The FAA takes high school grads
448. 12:55with 3 years of work experience. But the
449. 12:57filter is brutal. Only about 2% of
450. 12:59applicants ever make it. And you must
451. 13:01apply before the age of 31, and the law
452. 13:04forces you out at 56. So, this job is a
453. 13:06line cook during a dinner rush that
454. 13:08never ends. Except every ticket on the
455. 13:10rail is 300 people in the air, and you
456. 13:12cannot drop a plate. And you can
457. 13:14actually hear that pressure. A channel
458. 13:15called VASAviation has 672,000
459. 13:18subscribers. And all they post is real
460. 13:20controller tower audio. In one video, a
461. 13:22student pilot loses his engine midair,
462. 13:24and you hear him get talked back down.
463. 13:25That video has 9.2 million views.
464. 13:28According to View Stats, the channel
465. 13:29pulls an estimated $5,300 to $14,000 a
466. 13:32month, and the entire product is just
467. 13:33controllers doing their job. So, these
468. 13:35are the people watching a radar screen,
469. 13:37keeping hundreds of planes from hitting
470. 13:38each other one instruction at a time.
471. 13:40So, what's the pay? Well, the BLS median
472. 13:42is $144,000, and that's the highest
473. 13:45verified number in this video. And the
474. 13:46top 10% clear $210,000. So, the pay here
475. 13:48isn't for the work, it's for you being
476. 13:50able to handle the stress, right? It's
477. 13:51for the weight. And if the weight sounds
478. 13:53like too much for you, there's a lighter
479. 13:55way into this world. One of our clients,
480. 13:56for instance, Tim runs a small aviation
481. 13:58channel called Lift and Thrust, where he
482. 14:00breaks down planes and airlines. And the
483. 14:02whole channel only has about 10,000
484. 14:04subscribers, but his biggest video sits
485. 14:06at 464,000 views, and the channel's
486. 14:08pulling over 600,000 views a month. And
487. 14:10according to View Stats, numbers like
488. 14:11that are worth an estimated $1,700 to
489. 14:13$4,600 a month. And by the way, the
490. 14:15estimated AdSense money is usually far
491. 14:17lower than the reality of the situation.
492. 14:18For instance, View Stats usually
493. 14:20estimates that my channel makes maybe
494. 14:21$10,000 to $15,000 when in reality last
495. 14:24month we made over $50,000 from AdSense.
496. 14:27So, it's likely that these estimates are
497. 14:28very low. Plus, that's just AdSense.
498. 14:30There's many other ways to make money
499. 14:32from YouTube. For instance, AdSense is
500. 14:34less than a 5% of the total income that
501. 14:36we make from this channel. But yeah,
502. 14:37that's the kind of money sitting right
503. 14:38next to these jobs. So, there's a secret
504. 14:40side of my business that most of you
505. 14:41have no idea exists. And I actually have
506. 14:43a coaching program on personal branding
507. 14:45and growing on YouTube and making money
508. 14:47on YouTube. This is good for complete
509. 14:48beginners, maybe even people who just
510. 14:50want to get a job by growing their
511. 14:52personal brand, as well as business
512. 14:53owners, all the way up to people who are
513. 14:55very advanced on YouTube. And they get
514. 14:57to work directly with myself and my team
515. 14:59to help them reach their goals. Now, we
516. 15:01are opening up three to five spots, and
517. 15:02this is pretty rare. We usually don't
518. 15:04have these open. We usually only limit
519. 15:05them to a select amount of people as
520. 15:07well, but we're opening up three to five
521. 15:08spots, and you can check those down the
522. 15:10description and the pinned comment
523. 15:11below. And in this program, you will get
524. 15:13to work directly with myself and other
525. 15:14people who are highly successful on
526. 15:17YouTube. Everyone in our program has
527. 15:18100k plus subscriber plaques. Just as an
528. 15:20example, Shawn was able to go all the
529. 15:22way from being stuck, not making very
530. 15:24much money on his channel, to making
531. 15:25over $500,000 in a single month. Now,
532. 15:27that's an example of one of my more
533. 15:29advanced students, but there are lots of
534. 15:30examples of people starting off from
535. 15:32scratch, and they got to 5K a month, or
536. 15:3310K a month, etc. So, check that out
537. 15:35down in the description and the pinned
538. 15:37comment below, and I look forward to
539. 15:38working with you, and see if you're a
540. 15:39good fit to work together. And also,
541. 15:40check out this video right here to see
542. 15:42exactly how I helped my brother go from
543. 15:44zero to a full-time income in less than
544. 15:461 month.
