Video Summary

This video debunks the idea that career changers must start at minimum wage. The speaker identifies several high-paying, low-competition roles—ranging from industrial operations to insurance and digital content creation—where employers provide training or where personal experience can be leveraged for significant income.
Everyone thinks starting over with no experience means starting at the bottom, minimum wage,
being the 40-year-old intern fetching coffee for a 25-year-old manager, and begging someone
to take a chance on you.
And that is complete bulls**t.
Today I'm going to be talking about the best jobs if you're starting over with zero experience
and most of them pay more than the stable career that you're clawing your way out of.
Because the jobs that pay the most aren't the ones that everyone's fighting over with
a stack of credentials, they're the ones that nobody knows exist.
No competition, no resume screening.
The employer trains you from scratch and pays you while they do it because they can't find
anybody either.
Some pay close to six figures or even above it.
Some you can start in weeks, not years.
Some are physical and some you can do sitting down.
And one of them doesn't have a salary at all because it doesn't even have a ceiling.
And I'm not making this up.
I worked real jobs for years before I ever built a business and my business partners
and I helped over a thousand people land jobs.
And these are real verified testimonials and most of them were starting from zero.
So I've got the receipts.
Every figure here is pulled from real sources like the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Glassdoor,
and actual people saying what they earn.
And by the way, these aren't in any particular order.
The weird ones come first, the best ones are at the end.
So don't you dare skip.
And if you appreciate me making videos like this, let me know by gently cheers in that
like button and let's jump into it right now.
Okay, first one on the list is going to be a content creator, okay?
So a content creator makes stuff like videos or writing or whatever for people who want
to know what they know.
And I call this one the ceilingless career because every other job on this list has a
number attached to it, a top end, a ceiling.
This one doesn't have one.
A great example of this is a channel called Asian Dad Energy.
This guy got laid off after 25 years in tech.
And so he sat down in his home office and he filmed the layoff, the anxiety, the sacrifice,
the part that basically nobody talks about.
And that was his very first video.
He had no audience, no editing skills, and no plan.
And that video did 1.3 million views.
And according to view stats, it made over $6,500.
Not bad for something that probably took him about 20 minutes to make.
And it was almost like a video diary.
And since then, he's now at over 100,000 subscribers.
And according to vidIQ, he's making about $5,400 a month just in AdSense alone.
Oh, and that's not the only way he's making money.
Look at all these other ways that he's making money on his channel as well.
He's got a coaching link, a newsletter, merch, a buy me a coffee.
He's got lots of different affiliate links, et cetera, et cetera.
If he's monetizing properly, he's realistically clearing six figures easily.
And I've watched this happen again and again.
So this is no surprise to me at all.
I felt dozens of people use what they already know.
A lot of the time it has to do with their career or something
they spend a lot of time doing or their life circumstances,
like in the case of Asian Dad Energy was just getting laid off
or something they're passionate about.
I felt people with just about everything make money from YouTube.
Right. But they all have one thing in common,
and that is they are solving other people's problems.
And the greatest thing about YouTube is you can just combine it
with what you already know.
So let me go through a few examples of this. Right.
One of my community members, Isaiah, was about to get laid off.
He found my free stuff, started showing up to the free live
trainings that I do, which, by the way, I'm doing a live training this week.
Click the link in the description, the pin comment below to check that out.
And then just used it. Right.
Watch my free videos, watch my free live trainings, didn't buy anything.
And then off the free content alone, he pulled twenty thousand dollars
in a single month.
Then he came and worked with us directly.
And now he's done over one hundred thousand dollars in revenue.
So that's an example of someone monetizing what they're already good at
because he was helping people get better at singing.
Then there's Nurse Jen, who monetized just telling people
what she was already telling people on a day to day basis.
She went from zero to a full time income in just a couple of months,
and she was literally just telling people what she was already telling
her patients on a day to day basis, but just recording it with her webcam
on her laptop and putting it on YouTube.
Or Josh, who is helping people get jobs in the I.T.
and cybersecurity industry.
He first started YouTube as just a way to network within his industry
and got his dream job from it.
And they literally reached out to him.
Then the YouTube channel kept growing.
He started making five thousand a month.
So it was a really good side hustle.
Then ten thousand a month.
Now it's making almost as much as his full time job,
even though he's doing it as a part time thing.
And then thirty thousand a month.
Now he's making more than his full time job.
And then eventually he got all the way up to over one hundred
and eighty thousand dollars in a single month with our help in using my system.
Or how about my own brother who literally just monetized
talking about different trades careers because he spent 30 years in the trades.
And it's literally just common sense to him.
But what's common sense to some people is really good intel
and really good information to others.
Right.
So even though it's common sense to him, 99 percent of people don't know.
And he made it from zero to a full time income in less than one month.
So the way to get started here is to attend my life training.
Click that link in the description in the pin comment below to check that out.
And I will tell you exactly how to do it.
YouTube and building your personal brand just got ten times easier
and nobody's talking about it.
And the reason it got ten times easier is because of A.I.
and specifically caught A.I.
And that's what we're going to be talking about
in this week's live training that we're doing.
Click the link down the description, the pin comment below.
I will be there.
I'll be answering questions before, during and after.
We'll also be giving you an A.I.
that's been designed to help you pick your niche
if you don't have one in the first place or if you already have one
that's going to help you make it ten times better.
So we worked very hard on this A.I.
People absolutely love it.
We've literally gotten hundreds of comments from people that love it.
So you do not want to miss out on it.
And if you're watching this in the future for whatever reason
or it's already past the time of the live training, still click on that link
because we will be having more live trainings in the future
and you will be the first person to know because it'll put you on a waitlist
for that.
But with that being said, it's completely free.
No reason not to attend.
Click that link in the description, the pin comment below.
And I'll see you on the other side.
All right.
Next one we're going to talk about is a pile drive operator.
So a pile drive operator runs the machine that slams enormous columns
into the earth so that bridges, ports and skyscrapers have something to stand on.
And this is a job that nobody's heard of.
And that's not an insult.
That's the entire advantage.
So there's a video explaining what pile drivers do here.
And there's lots of videos online showing what pile drivers do
and how pile drivers are trained, et cetera, et cetera.
For instance, here's one from Deshawn, who's being interviewed
on what it's like to be a pile driver.
Now, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median pay here
is about seventy three thousand dollars a year, and it is incredibly easy
to get into.
In many cases, you don't even have to have a high school diploma
or related experience, and they train you on the job.
So here's how to start.
Don't apply to pile driver operator.
You won't get it cold.
Go to the union.
Instead, search your state plus carpenter's apprenticeship
or operating engineers local and then apply to the apprenticeship.
It's free.
They pay you from day one and pile driving is a division inside of it.
So if there's no local near you, search indeed for a laborer at any marine
bridge or foundation contractor and tell them on day one
that you want to get on the pile crew.
It's really not that hard to get in.
You basically just have to make yourself available.
But maybe you don't want to do physical work
and maybe you don't want to be a content creator,
even though it's something you can easily do on the side
and you can combine it with just about anything that you do.
And it's a great way to build your personal brand to get your dream job.
Maybe you just want a simple online job that's easy to get.
OK, fair enough.
Let's talk about becoming a claims adjuster.
So somebody's roof gets destroyed.
They file a claim.
Somebody has to go find out what actually happened and what's actually worth.
So you're basically a desk detective and the insurance companies
will teach you every bit of it because they can't hire fast enough.
So a good example of this is the channel called Claims Adjuster of the Year.
The whole channel is about becoming a claims adjuster as a beginner.
And one of the beginners is named Ivan, who went from zero
to his first claims adjuster job in under two months.
There's another channel called Adjuster TV with over 40,000 subscribers.
And this channel talks about how to start adjusting claims the fastest way.
And claims adjusters, even at the entry level, make about fifty five
to eighty five thousand dollars a year.
And there are jobs they can go into to pay even more than that.
So here's how to start.
Search the exact words claims adjuster trainee or claims
representative trainee or desk adjuster trainee.
And sure, you can try out claims adjuster,
but a lot of the time that'll pull the experience rolls
and you'll just think that the door shut when it isn't.
You're just knocking on the wrong one.
And companies like Progressive Travelers and Zurich all run formal training
programs, and some states want a license, which is a course and a test.
It's usually a few hundred bucks in a couple of weeks.
And in order to check out if your state needs that, just go ahead
and use Chattopadhyay or Claude, tell it your location and ask
if you need that to become a claims adjuster.
All right. Next is a railroad conductor.
So a freight train can be two miles long and weigh 15,000 tons.
Let me say that again.
Fifteen thousand tons.
And one person is responsible for knowing what's on it
and that none of it's going to kill anybody.
And that is the conductor.
So a good example of this is a channel called Rolling Exposure.
The guy ran five years on BNSF as a conductor and put the whole thing on camera.
And he's even got a video called
I wasn't ready for the railroad conductor hiring process,
which tells you exactly how honest the channel is.
But how do you become a railroad conductor?
Well, the steps are here in this video from Railroad Talk and Outdoors.
He gave some great tips on how you can stand out as a railroad conductor.
People want to work for the railroad.
So I mentioned these things.
You can put on your resume and make you stand out.
What does a railroad conductor actually do?
Well, it's pretty obvious.
But if you want to know the little nitty gritty details,
there's a video from the Wheeling that shows exactly what a railroad conductor
does and railroad conductors make about fifty seven to eighty seven thousand
dollars a year.
And again, this is on the lower side.
And there are positions you can get into down the line that make even more money
as you work for longer amounts of time.
Plus, this is a career that likely is unionized.
So you're going to have pretty good benefits.
But here's how to start.
Go straight to the carriers, BNSF, Union Pacific, CSX,
Norfolk Southern, Amtrak and apply on their own career sites.
Not a job board.
They hire in waves.
So if the posting isn't up, set the alert and wait.
Expect a medical, a background check and a drug screen.
And be honest about the schedule.
Nights, weekends, on call, away from home.
That's the trade for seventy eight thousand with nothing on your resume.
All right. Next is an insurance sales agent, and they help individuals
and businesses protect their assets and loved ones from financial loss.
And they assess client needs.
They explain different policy options such as life, health, auto or home
insurance, and they guide customers through the purchasing process.
So this was explained by a channel called Career One Stop,
and they showed what an insurance sales agent does.
Another good example is a guy named Peter Roberts,
and he has a really cool video called watch me make thirteen thousand
nine hundred twenty nine dollars in three days selling life insurance at home.
Now, you might be thinking, oh, well, he does this for a long time
and he just knows how to talk to people on the phone.
Well, I saw a video from Mone doing cold calling for the first time,
and that video got four hundred and thirteen thousand views
because people can really relate to him.
And yeah, this is uncomfortable.
You do have to reach out to people and try to sell them something.
But that is the reason why there's not a lot of competition.
And if you look at insurance sales agents on Glassdoor,
it says they make about ninety seven to one hundred and seventy
one thousand dollars a year on average.
So the money is really good here.
Now, here's how to start.
Get the license first.
Search your state plus life and health insurance license.
It's a pre licensing course and a state exam.
It's usually a few hundred dollars and two to three weeks.
Now, you might be annoyed by having to take these exams and these certifications.
But the truth is, these exams and certifications in many cases
are the barrier to entry.
And if it wasn't for these, there'd be way more competition.
So don't be scared by an exam that just takes a couple of weeks to study for.
It's really not that big of a deal.
Then take a salaried agent trainee role over a pure commission one
for your first year, because straight commission with no book of business
and no savings is how people quit in month four.
And then watch Peter Roberts first 30 days before you sign anything.
His channel is a great resource.
So every single one of these jobs is real.
And I meant every word of that.
But go back through it.
Every job on this list has a second job standing right there next to it.
The guy who got laid off after twenty five years and made sixty five
hundred dollars off of one video about the worst day of his life.
And the truth is, you are sitting there with one thing
that can't be taught, can't be certified and can't be automated.
You have life experience.
You know, you started over.
You know what that feels like.
And almost nobody who's already comfortable does.
And that is not a gap in your resume.
That is an asset if you use it the right way.
So go get one of these jobs.
Seriously, go get it, especially if you need a job right now
and then film it while you're at it. Right.
Nobody wants the polished version.
Asian Dad Energy didn't get one point three million views on his first video
because he was good.
He got them because he was honest and authentic
about the worst day of his life.
If you want me to walk you through exactly how that second part
actually works, the part where the story becomes the income.
That's what this free workshop
that I'm going to be talking about this week is all about.
So click the link in the description, the pin comment below to check that out.
And I know that 99 percent of you won't do anything with it.
And that's completely fine.
The stuff is free for a reason.
But definitely check out the workshop.
There's literally no reason for you to not check out the workshop,
because even if you don't want to make money from it,
it's an incredible way for you to build your personal brand
so that you're never going to have to reach out to anybody to get a job again.
So there's a secret side of my business that most of you have no idea exists.
And I actually have a coaching program on personal branding
and growing on YouTube and making money on YouTube.
This is good for complete beginners.
Maybe even people who just want to get a job by growing their personal brand,
as well as business owners, all the way up to people who are very advanced
on YouTube, and they get to work directly with myself and my team
to help them reach their goals.
Now, we are opening up three to five spots, and this is pretty rare.
We usually don't have these open.
We usually only limit them to a select amount of people as well.
But we're opening up three to five spots,
and you can check those down the description and a comment below.
And in this program, you will get to work directly with myself
and other people who are highly successful on YouTube.
Everyone in our program has 100K plus subscriber plaques.
Just as an example, Sean was able to go all the way from being stuck,
not making very much money on his channel, making over $500,000 in a single month.
Now, that's an example of one of my more advanced students.
But there are lots of examples of people starting out from scratch
and they got to 5K a month or 10K a month, et cetera.
So check that out down the description and the pinned comment below.
And I look forward to working with you and see if we're a good fit to work together.
And by the way, if you want to check out a video where I go over in more detail
