Video Summary
AI Generated
The video explores high-demand career paths characterized by severe labor shortages, where employers offer competitive salaries and free training to attract talent. It emphasizes a strategic approach to job hunting by identifying these \"shortages\" to gain leverage and suggests leveraging industry expertise to build profitable personal brands through content creation.
These are five jobs that are so desperate
for workers that they will fight over you.
And the shortage is so bad that employers bid,
add bonuses, and even pay for your training bill
just to get you in the seat.
And I'll show you exactly what every one of them pays with real
examples. So there is a wide mix here.
So I'm confident at least one of them is going to be
a good fit for you. Now, quick context
on why I'm the one telling you this.
I went $300,000 in student loan debt to become
a pharmacist before I realized that I'd picked
a seat that nobody fights for.
So I made the career channel that I'd wish I had
when I first started out, and more than
a thousand people have made their own switch with our help, documented.
So stop chasing job listings and start finding shortages
because a company that can't hire
doesn't screen you.
It recruits you.
Every number is sourced from the Bureau
of Labor Statistics and Glassdoor.
There's no AI slop.
And hold your judgment on the last one because it's a little weird.
Now, if you appreciate me making this type of content
and you want to see me make more
of it in the future, then let me know
by gently cheering that like button.
And let's jump into it right now.
Okay, so the first one on the list is probably
a job that most of you have never heard of,
and that is a perfusionist.
So during open heart surgery, the surgeon stops your heart,
and the perfusionist is the person running machine
that is your heart and lungs while
that happens. So you are alive
because this person is really good at their job. And as
you can see on the screen, Specialty Care,
who's a staffing company whose whole business
is putting perfusionists in operating rooms.
Has 146 open jobs listed right now.
And look at one of them.
A perfusionist seat in California listed
at $180,000 to $275,000 a year.
And that's not some website's estimate.
That is the range that the employer provided.
So the company typed those numbers themselves.
So they badly need people who have the skill set.
And you can see that many of these jobs
have been posted for 20 days or even 30 days plus.
And there's 146 of them listed just here.
And there's even roles for perfusion assistants
that make $83 to $125,000 a year.
So think about this like musical chairs in reverse.
146 chairs.
Almost no players and the chairs are fighting over you.
Whereas most careers out there,
there's about five seats and 100 people trying to get into one of them.
So this is what I always recommend to do on my channel
is to simply go where the opportunity is.
Supply and demand is undefeated.
If there is a massive amount of demand for a particular job
and there's not enough supply,
it's going to be significantly easier for you to get into it.
And by the way, if you're interested in checking this out,
there's YouTube channels that talk all about this.
And notice who's making the videos.
Northwell, a major hospital system.
And Northwell produced its own video showing
Now, here's a pro tip, guys.
If you see companies producing videos about
particular careers, there is one and only
one reason that they're doing that,
and that is because they are having a lot of trouble
finding people to get into those careers.
So when the employer starts making content about
the job, that's a really good sign.
And a channel called New Nurse Guidebook even explained
that perfusionist is a hidden gem
in healthcare.
Not a lot of people know that this job exists,
and that's the reason why companies fight
over perfusionists.
Now, one thing that I'll just mention
is I'm only going to bring up one healthcare-related
career in this video because I want to give you a really good variety.
That being said, there's probably thousands
of these very random, very niche healthcare
related careers out there.
Now I came from a healthcare background myself,
of course, I'm a pharmacist, and so I do like
showcasing a lot of these careers
because there is a lot of opportunity here.
And perfusionist is definitely one of those hidden gems.
Now there's a really good website called explorehealthcareers.org
that lists a lot of these random healthcare
related careers.
And I highly recommend checking it out
and seeing if perfusionist or maybe one that's
similar to it would be your cup of tea.
But YouTube is also a really good place to do research on this as well.
So another video to show you how desperate
hospitals are about perfusionists.
Now, according to JobTed, perfusionists
make between $98,000 and $178,000 a year.
And to become a perfusionist, you must
complete four basic requirements.
You must earn a bachelor's degree,
complete specific science prerequisites,
graduate from an accredited perfusion program
and pass a national board certification exam.
So it's not for everyone. And that's why hospitals
are fighting over you. With that being said,
if you become a perfusionist assistant,
that can be a lot easier to get into. Now,
the requirements to get into this are going
to change depending on where you're from,
the hospital that you work at, et cetera.
But for a lot of these random healthcare related careers,
the hospitals will actually train you in many cases
if you're interested in getting into one
of the careers because they're that
desperate for people who have the skills.
All right. YouTube just got 10 times easier
and nobody is talking about it. You used to need an
entire film crew and it used to be a full-time job
for you to just do any work at all on YouTube.
But now you can get work done
and it's as little as 15 to 30 minutes a day. You can actually grow
a full-time YouTube channel.
That's exactly what I'm gonna be talking about at the live training
that we're doing this week. Exactly how to start YouTube step-by-step.
For beginners, so click the link in the description,
the pinned comment below to check that out,
guys, I will be answering questions before,
during and after the live training, it's completely free. Plus,
I'll be giving away an AI that is designed to help you pick your niche,
if you don't have one in the first place, or if you already have
a niche, it's going to help you make it 10 times better.
So really looking forward to talking with you guys,
this stuff that we never talked about before.
So click that link in the description and comment below.
I look forward to seeing you there.
All right, next is an industrial maintenance technician,
also referred to as an industrial maintenance tech.
And this one's personal because the trades
are literally my brother's world.
First, what even is this job?
Well, these are basically the people
who keep every machine in every factory alive.
So when the line stops,
they're the ones who get it moving again.
Now, here's why companies are fighting over you
straight from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
There are 54,200 of these seats
that are opening up every single year,
and the field is growing by 13%.
Much faster than the average job.
To put that in perspective,
the average job typically grows at about 4% per year.
And it's about to get worse for them,
but better for you.
Deloitte and the Manufacturing Institute
say that US manufacturing
could need up to 3.8 million new workers by 2033.
So every reshored factory,
every AI data center built out,
somebody has to keep the machines alive
and companies aren't posting these jobs
and waiting anymore.
They are fighting over anyone
who can hold a wrench and read a schematic.
And think about this like a bucket
with a 54,200 person hole in the bottom.
While they pour $3.8 million,
million new jobs in the top. That's the fight
and you are what they're fighting over. Now there's
a channel called The Maintenance Technician
and there's a video called What to Expect as an
industrial maintenance technician that got over 85,000 views.
And in this video he said that this
job is pretty demanding to your body
and this is one of the reasons why less and less people are
applying to this type of job. And I would know
because this is what happened to my brother Zach
as well. One time when we were on vacation
together he pulled me aside and he said bro
the trades are taking a toll on my body
but I still want to make money. And just for context
Zach is in his 50s, and he has
been in the trades for almost 30 years now.
And when you stay that long on a physically demanding job,
it's only a matter of time before
your body will tell you it's time to stop.
And my brother thought that I would tell him to get an online job
or to get some type of certificate or some sort of cushy office job,
maybe like a government job, for instance.
But I told him, no, just do YouTube.
And he gave me every excuse in the book that he could think of.
I'm too old for YouTube.
It's for dancing teens.
I don't even know how to set up a camera.
I haven't recorded a single video in my life.
I'm not tech savvy.
I'm in my 50s.
No one wants to listen to a 50-year-old.
Isn't YouTube for 24-year-olds with ring lights?
Right, but I told him, just trust me, bro.
exactly what I tell you to do and you will get results.
And he did trust me and he followed
exactly what I said. And he posted his very first video
with my system that I've refined over the
years. And he blew up and got over 800,000 views.
And 29 days after posting that first video,
he had a $214 day. And that's a $78,000 a year run rate.
So he went from zero to a full-time
income in less than one month.
And to end his first year on YouTube, he just made $18,000
in a single month. So the companies fight over the job
and the internet fights over the content
about the job and this is a heck of a lot more efficient.
Take Nicole.
She runs GRC for mere mortals,
and she's helping people get
into governance,
risk, and compliance careers.
This is a very niche type of cybersecurity career, but if I'm being
And when we started working together,
she had 85 subscribers and she was about to quit.
But she also implemented my system just like Zach did.
And she got to over $80,000 in a single month.
Plus, she helped dozens of people get into cybersecurity careers.
And it's not just landing the job.
It could be education for landing the job.
Clifford at College Hack, for instance,
helps people get through college faster, smarter and cheaper.
And he was able to grow his channel
that he made to multiple six figures a year.
It doesn't have to be anything about career stuff either.
It could just be making money in general.
Just like Sean, who talks about self-publishing books on Amazon.
When he first started working with us,
he was stuck making about $30,000 a month.
For a very long time, and we help them scale
his YouTube channel to over $500,000 in a single month.
We've also helped a bunch of people that have dead YouTube channels
or YouTubers that are getting a lot of views,
but they're struggling with monetization.
But mostly, we just help people who are complete beginners share what
they already know by starting a YouTube channel, just like I did.
And they're not special.
They're just using the same playbook that I'm giving you today,
which is figure out how to make money doing something,
whether it's a career or a side hustle or investing or honestly,
just figure out how to do anything that other people want to do.
And then teach other people how to do it on YouTube.
And so you make money doing the thing in the first place,
and then you can make a lot of extra money
teaching other people how to do it too.
And one more thing about these numbers,
whatever the public estimator tools say
any of these channels earn,
understand the public number is the floor.
Sponsors, courses, deals sit on top.
So yes, companies are fighting over these jobs
with real money.
And in some cases, the companies will actually pay you
if you make content about the job
to help fill those positions.
But there's arguably more money
being the person who talks about them, right?
So whether that's helping people get in,
do the job better, get educated for it,
or teach the tools that you already know,
just like Steven, for instance, who taught a very rare
type of CAD software that only engineers
in his very specific career use. And then he made a
course on that. And in a couple months, he made over $12,000.
Plus, he started getting invited
by big Fortune 500 companies to train their people
to use the software as well. And this
works whether you want to get a better job,
a bigger network, a side income, or a full-time
income as well. Now, if you want to see exactly how Zach
and the others did this step by step,
I'm running a free live training this week, and it is completely free.
No strings attached.
Links in the description and the pinned comment
below should be the first link down there.

the workshops that we run in the future.
Plus, I'll be answering questions before, during and after.
So I look forward to seeing you there.
Click that first link in the description then comment below.
And now back to your regularly scheduled programming.
All right, guys, next one is going to be a truck driver.
And watch how far a company will go
when it can't win the fight with money alone.
Because remember, these companies are fighting over you,
but only if you're getting into these particular positions.
So Walmart got so desperate for drivers
that they stopped recruiting them.
And they started manufacturing them.
They built their own free truck driving school,
the Private Fleet Development Program,
which is 12 weeks.
Walmart pays for everything.
And you walk out with a commercial license and a job.
And CBS reported that those drivers
can earn up to $110,000 in their first year.
So think about it like this.
When they can't buy you,
they build you an academy to train you
how to get into the job.
That is a flashing sign telling you
that there's a massive amount of opportunity here.
Now, Walmart stopped shopping for drivers
and they planted a farm system
and the seat in it is free.
So how bad do people want this seat?
Well, let me show you through one guy.
There's a channel called 20 Plus Trucking
and the guy who runs it is Donald Smith.
And he's been driving for Walmart for 19 years.
And he shows people what the job really pays
and what the weeks really look like.
He also shows actual pay stubs on camera.
In his video, How to Become a Walmart Truck Driver, What Qualifies You,
is sitting at 55,000 views,
roughly 50 times what his channel normally does,
because people are hunting for this exact seat.
And his pay stub reveals, well,
one is literally titled Pay and Activity.
How much do I really make in one year?
Pay stub reveal.
And his biggest pay video did 129,000 views,
221 times his channel average.
And get this, people who decide to apply,
apply through his referral link.
So the company fighting for drivers
is basically paying him to exist online.
Oh, and if driving's not your thing, well,
Walmart's fighting on associates as well.
They'll pay 100% of college tuition
and books for their people, part-timers included.
The workers stop paying for things.
All right, the next one is going to be a store manager,
but only for certain types of stores.
So specifically, we're going to be talking about Buc-ee's,
but I'll talk about a few others as well.
So the next job is store manager, and this one
is in an open bidding war with the offers posted in the public.
So bidder number one is Buc-ee's.
Yes, the gas station.
So they print their offers right on their career page,
and they say it's $125,000 a year to run their car wash.
And store managers make even more.
And a company only posts numbers like that in public
when it's trying to outbid everyone else on the block
and the internet noticed.
So this is a channel called Old Money Luxury,
and they do documentaries on wealthy family businesses.
And they released a 22-minute deep dive on Buc-ee's.
And it got 213,000 views on a documentary
about a gas station.
And the pay is part of the story that they tell.
Starting wages at double the federal minimum,
general managers pass 225,000.
Bidder number two is In-N-Out.
Store managers at $160,000 a year.
That's not a rumor.
That's the company's confirmed number themselves.
So think about it like a housing market bidding war,
except the house is you
and the buyers keep overpaying on purpose.
And again, people don't just eat at these companies,
they study them.
Michael Girdley, an investor who breaks down businesses,
posted why In-N-Out Burger is impossible to compete with.
And that video has already passed 277,000 views.
And CBS ran a whole new segment
on a six-figure burger salary.
Oh, and for the record,
I hold a doctorate in the.
And these managers out-earned my pharmacist salary, right?
I had to spend $300,000 in student loan debt
to get a pharmacist degree, right?
A doctorate of pharmacy.
Plus I spent years of my life getting it
and these managers are out-earning me.
So kudos to them.
All right, next one is going to be a ship builder.
And this is for the company
that builds nuclear aircraft carriers.
Now, by the way, as you can see,
this isn't only just for guys.
You can see that women can do this as well.
And Huntington Ingalls runs Newport News Shipbuilding
and their fight for workers is so old
that they built an entire college.
for it. It's called the Apprentice School.
It's been running since 1919, over 100 years. And it
calls itself the number one trade school
in America on its own homepage. Now, I don't know
if they're the number one trade school in America,
but what they're doing is pretty cool. And they
don't recruit shipbuilders, they grow them.
And the deal is almost hard to believe. No tuition,
a paycheck from day one, benefits,
and college credit while you learn a trade. So think about
it like a full ride athletic scholarship,
except instead of playing on Saturdays,
You build aircraft carriers and these scholarships pay you.
And this is a real school and even has varsity sports, right?
So their baseball team, the Builders, has won three national titles.
So a trade school with championship banners.
So these are basically the people who cut, weld and fit the steel
that becomes aircraft carriers
while the school pays them and trains them as well.
And you already know the pattern by now.
So watch it work in this world, too.
There's a channel called Western Welding Academy,
and it's an actual welding school with 572,000 subscribers,
and they recruit students by showing what welders really earn.
their video, Should You Be a Welder,
is sitting at about 595,000 views. So a welding school
outdrawing TV shows, right? Getting more views than TV shows do.
So when the fight for workers
is this real, even the schools run the attention playbook.
Now, again, if you want to learn how to
run the attention playbook yourself and get into a job
and then also get paid to make content about
the job, then it's in the live training this week.
Click that first link in the description
in the pinned comment below. All right,
next one is going to be Railroad Crew.
And as you can see, you don't have to be a guy to do this.
There's lots of women doing this as well.
And Union Pacific is another company that has to fight for workers.
And they do that by taking people with zero railroad experience
and running them through its own 14 week paid training program.
So you start as a brakesman or a switchman and they train you up.
And the path runs to conductor and then locomotive engineer,
and people are hunting for this
seat.
And Union Pacific's own recruiting video
on a channel with barely a few thousand subscribers
is quietly sitting at 326,000 views.
So when a corporate recruiting video does
those numbers, that is not marketing, that
is demand.
Now, they don't publish salary on that page,
so I won't invent one, but the demand tells
the story.
So think about it like a help wanted sign going viral,
a now hiring poster that people
stop to take pictures of, and it's pointed at you.
And here's the part that I want you to notice.
A brand new hire named Dom started
filming his first week of Union Pacific training a few months ago,
and barely anyone is documenting
this job yet, and that lane is wide open.
So a fought over job with almost no competition for
the story, these are basically the people building
and driving the trains that move
America's freight. So it is very important.
So job first, story second, same playbook.
Now, according to BLS, railroad workers
typically make about $75,000 a year.
With that being said, I've said this many
times on the channel with trade
related careers, typically BLS is going to underestimate how much money
they actually make for a variety of different reasons.
So if you want to see exactly how I did this with Zach and others
that you met today, come to that free live training this week.
I'm going to be showing you a bunch
of other people that did this as well.
For instance, Nurse Jen
was in a niche telehealth related nursing career,
and she had a really good career over 33 years.
She was 60 years old and she joined my life training
and she started her YouTube channel.
And within a few months, she was able to make a full-time income.
Her first month monetized, she made $6,000.
Then $8,000 the next month, and then $10,000 the third month.
And she did it running this exact same playbook.
So if you want to know exactly how Nurse Gin did it,
go ahead and click that first link in the description
in the pinned comment below to check it out.
Also, I'll be handing you the Niche Validator Pro,
which is going to help you pick your niche, right?
Because you don't just necessarily have
to go into a career-related niche.
A lot of people that join our program do,
but you could just pick something that you're good
at or something that you want to get good at
and make that your YouTube channel.
For instance, Nathan Rose started a chess channel
and was able to make it to a full-time income
with about 3,000 subscribers.
I'm literally just teaching other people his own passion.
Now, this is only done with the exact system that I recommend.
99% of ways of doing YouTube will not get you these results.
So I highly recommend clicking that first link in the description
in the pinned comment below to check out the live training.
And I look forward to seeing you there.
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 in 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 a hundred K 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
to 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 five K a month or 10 K a month, et cetera.
So check that out down in 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.
With that being said, check out
this video right here to see exactly how I helped my
brother Zach go from zero to full-time income in less than one month.
