@@JoshuaParnell-k2y I’m in the north, the company I work for pays their EMTs $18-22.25/hr with shift differential. The lowest they pay their paramedics is $25/hr. Idk who in their right mind would accept that in this economy, after my medic I’m asking for $28-30/hr cause rent isn’t getting cheaper.
Thank you for the list . This is really helpful especially for me. I have ADD and it’s hard to come up with a list of my own. Hearing it from you makes it more clear and I can then branch out from that. I personally love making things. Crafts. I know there is a market for that. There’s plenty for us all no matter what we dive into. I appreciate your videos!
Thanks a lot, i have watched this video and even gone through some of the comments. I started college but unfortunately didn't finish, been an IT student and still on it though working in the beauty industry currently. On data science certification course at the moment and I'm really encouraged to pursue it, with the hard work and prayers that I'm putting i place i will get there
Been driving tractor trailers since I was 21 years old, I’m 51 and still at it. Not always easy but I’m home everyday and have even owned 3 trucks over the years, it keeps the bills paid and paid off 😎
Ive been thinking about getting my CDL A but man you hear some horror stories, terrible drivers, bad road conditions, 10-13hrs a day, low pay to start... seem like you gotta give up a chunk of your life for it
I respect this, but working just to pay bills bothers me. What motivates you? I guess you enjoy what you do, and not only doing it for 30 years just to pay bills.
Wow...excellent content once again. I'm in IT so I'll share a couple other high paid skills...the first is what I do...Data Development. Data development is one level deeper than Data Analysis. It's almost like software development on the data side. It involves creating the data and/or the structures required to store and retrieve the data. Data Modelers. Data modeling involves creating the blue prints used to create the storage design for business data (kind of like blue prints for a house except it's data). The best way to find these jobs is if you're lucky enough to know people in IT OR establishing relationships with professional IT recruiters. The easiest way to get into the IT jobs is STILL by way of desktop support IF you cannot find your chosen job directly...THEN finding your way to your chosen career path. Often times, these higher level skills being discussed may require some sort of experience because a lot of companies may want their candidate to "hit the job running" (so-to-speak...).
@@allinaik3313 Yes. I'm living proof of that. IT is a career path where education is secondary to skill. And if you think about it, it makes sense. Who cares where you went to college if you don't know what you're doing? Businesses have IT problems to solve. The vast majority of businesses will take the person who has the highest level of skill over the highest level of education nearly every time.
@@EIStudent bro I am from Pakistan here we are minimum decede behind from world I want to become software developer but search every job require bachelor degree guide me more
@allinaik3313 I'm in the United States. The attitude here is if you can do the job most of the time you can be hired regardless of your education. There are definitely employers here who require a college degree but most of them someone who can solve their problems.
@@GH-te6gp my first job was western exp did a month training there and got my 6month exp and left them for Savage a lime hauling company then got offered a Fuel hauling position. If your referring to school just look up CDL school and read reviews before attending
Many of this blue collar jobs can pay well, but they come with a list of problems. First one is they generally do not pay well for what you do, you just end up working so much overtime that they will pay better. Second is the wear and tear on your body. Thirdly, is the some expose you to chemical, air pollutants, ect.
In trades you can definately go in and make some money depending on skills. Im a 33 year old order selector at a food warehouse. Make between 72-80k a year. With over time, its a little more. Life is what you make it. Great video bruv.
@@FrooishinManifest find a warehouse where you they offer an incentive on top of your production pay. Warehouses that pay you off production are a game changer.
@@on29st90 I work on max 37 hours a week and gross almost 1300 because of incentive pay. If I was to work my full 40 or go crazy with overtime, my take home would be closer to 1500 or more. Again, life is what you make it man. There's folks that do overtime at my job but it's taxing on the body, I keep it simple.
Been involved in the trades my whole life which has allowed me to avoid debt like the plague . Save required capital to invest , and also increase my income quickly over time . I’ve never been unemployed since I started working in 2005 and I am always learning more so I can give myself the best chance to become financially independent. Im not there but im moving in the right direction.
I don’t know about sales 😂 As a car salesman I see us getting replaced by AI on a daily basis. Pretty much all we’ll be doing soon is handing off the keys.
@@SombraLocs it’s built into a lot of CRM now. The customer clicks on the car on the website and the AI immediately sends them a message on behalf of the dealership BUT HERES THE THING. The AI can go through the entire online purchasing process as if it were a real human just talking to the customer. It’s really cool from a tech lovers perspective but really really scary from a salesman perspective because many times customers will take their process to the very end just to not follow through, and this gives us false inquires. The issue with that is ANYONE has access to this. So a teenager who just wants to see the price of their dream car will just go making a bunch of inquiries. And that really messes with our stats and makes it hard to find real customers because of the spam.
@@WaveManMike we have something similar, but most of the time we have to take over the bot because people always like to negotiate the price. I still think people are best for sales.
Great contents as always. I would also add cloud engineering to the mix as businesses are moving from on premise data centers to the cloud. Most professional certifications in this area is relatively do-able within a year. Thanks again for sharing the video and good luck to those are exploring new opportunities.
@@aliceboyh na that’s not rude that’s just a question but I been driving for awhile yes the money great but I wanna further my education nd skill set … like I made 346k with day trading nd I’m going back to school for my degree in cybersecurity
CDLA if you want to make 120+(W2) come to Carlin/Elko NV w/ 6M exp, clean driving record and double triple hazmat. Apply to Savage hauling lime, Pilot Thomas hauling ore/diesel/gas or redi services hauling sulfuric acid. When I say 120+ you’re working 70-84h a week. Savage, PTL, Redi are all local positions.
I'm an industrial maintenence technician. I'm in the North Alabama area which is booming with work and it has caused a maintenance shortage. There is high demand for maintenance men in my area. There are certificates and even a maintenance degree that our community colleges in the area offer, but plants are getting so desperate theyre offering maintenence apprenticeships which will pay for tuition and you dont need a degree for it.
@tayloranderson616 apprectices and technicians early in their career can expect somewhere between $18-$25/hr depending on the company. Most of the best paying jobs in the area top out around $38-$42/hr... There's even some plants that will take every employee over top out for the life of their career with cost of living raises. It's not common but you can break into the 50s an hour in maintenance in this area, but that requires a lot of time and experience... Most plants offer overtime and that's the pathway to grossing over $100k a year in the field.
@@bottomtiercollector I’m looking into getting a maintenance degree , specifically “Electromechanical Technology “ I was wondering if you’d recommend me going the Industrial maintenance tech route or focusing on the Automation and Robotics route within that program?

This video is 100% accurate. There are a lot of jobs open because people are retiring from the trades and not being replaced fast enough. I am in school for IT and I decided to get my CDL license .

@@Roquea.207not true. Plenty of people I know in the industry that started as a helper and worked their way up. Especially as a DOD civilian. Amentum is currently hiring helpers at facilities.

Data is still big because those are the people that deal with the data used to train the AI. I'd guess this will actually grow as AI gets bigger. Web developer, and copywriting I expect AI will make people a lot more productive so will need less people on these jobs.
People who don't continually improve their skills will be left behind in any field. The guy who used to deliver ice to homes lost his job. The man who delivered milk to homes lost his job. The salesman who sold Edsels lost his job. Continually improving is key to being indispensable.
@leitberatch6160 That's good. Just apply at the local trucking companies near you and tell them you have some dispatching experience. Please note that when I started, I started from the bottom. I was making about 36k a year working after hours. I started at the end of 2018. The trucking world is recession proof and a good place to be for job security. I want to mention that I do not have an HS diploma or GED. If I can do it, anyone can do it.
There are online trainings, Udemy, coursera, etc that you can use for certifications. The market usually pays based on the values that we provide. Think of it as learning or self development and getting paid as a side effect. I found my very first certification was the most difficult, but all much easier after. Hope that helps.
@@traviscarter1023 Sad but true my friend. If I had locked in during my 20s and focused on school, certs, education etc my life would be completely different.
I started out as commercial and industrial mechanical contractor. Did that for 15 years then one of my customers liked me so much they hired me on full time as a building maintenance supervisor. I’m 11 years into that at $86k and good benefits. Work my butt off though.
To be a medic you need at minimum an associates, for an emt its a high school diploma. in ems urban areas is where u want to go to make decent money. In Md emts can start at 25/hr and medics 32/hr and thats just ift side, bonuses and OT will get you ina better financial place. In 911 its as you say after OT 70- 80k for emt and 100k+ for medics, im just ball parking it. Stress also plays a big part so choose wisely. And again Its lucrative because of bonuses and OT. And you can also be a travel emt/paramedic, which like travel nurses make money
I really appreciate everything you offer, but I saw that it is very difficult to get a job as a data analyst. Most companies require a university degree and many years of experience. I am hesitant to learn data analysis for fear that I will not find a job.
City Bus Driver/Metro Bus Driver/Coach Bus Drivers It mixes good driving skills with customer service. All you need is a CDL B with Air Brakes and Passenger Endorsements. You can get free training from various SchoolBus companies, who are also looking for bus drivers desperately. A lot of these bus jobs are unions, local and you can easily make $90-$120k first year depending if you work extra overtime. Coach Buses are somewhat of a different animal. You can make so much off of tips alone. And there are opportunities to become the driver for pro sports leagues or even college teams.
Not sure this video is adding any value.. I spent 35 years in tech across all tech areas from development, system admin, web technologies and I believe.. new people need to look at trades.. IT value is not where it use to be.. work is not secure.. Google, Facebook, Microsoft dumped thousands of employees frequently. My brother... tech is a gamble.
Speaking as a software developer I Still equal my salary doing Copywriting and have been for the last 18 months. New people making money all the time as Copywriters. Even easier with AI. AI has made me quicker with output. AI can do copy but still not as good as the creative human mind at this point. Used more as an aid today but it can't replace writers yet.
The majority of these jobs require some kind of education though. While they may not require a college degree, software developers, paramedics, copywriters, mechanics, and most skilled tradesmen all have to go to some kind of school and many of these professions require some kind of technical licensure.
Got to be honest with you I really like the name of your channel and you seem like you don’t know what you’re talking about a lot of interesting and helpful information. I am a disabled combat vet. I have all my limbs, thank the Lord for that. Have some issues that prevented me from having a career and the things I was trained in, which were other things besides just special operations which I was in for a while but because of the issues I have do a lot of real physical manual labor so I need to use my mind more and I’m looking to get into real estate. I know the situation in this country and the world in general is not that good right now but I’m trying to learn as much as I can right now and attain skills. if anybody has any information that can help me out or anything involving company that might be looking for someone like myself that’s highly motivated and has really world skills know how to talk to people but have things that I also have to learn. Maybe he’s willing to work with veteran anyways if not that’s fine too, but I just wanted to leave a comment and just say that I think you have a great channel and I think it’s awesome that you try to help people out. God bless you, man

@maleekpate6770 no degree. I have an Airframe and Powerplant license that I earned from going to a TRADE school. I don't have an associates, bachelor's, etc. Also new union contract just went through so I'll be at $132k/yr 🙏 anything is possible yall. Stay dedicated
Wife of an A&P(airplane) mechanic here. Though you don't need a degree, you pretty much do need a license. My husband has both the A(airframe) and P(powerplant). I do believe there are still a few places besides the military that will employ you without a license, you are much better off with them. They aren't cheap. I've heard around $30,000 for A&P schooling anymore, but there are also companies that offer apprenticeships. We're in the Midwest. He can easily make 6 figures is he wants after 25 yrs in the industry. Though necessity, location, and timing have played big roles in my ability to be a stay at home mom, it definitely couldn't have happened without his work.
I'm in the field of Physical Therapy & I'm currently working on breaking into the very last field you mentioned. Great video by the way. Do you by any chance have an email for mentorship services ?
Umm plumbers and electricians require the equivalent of a college degree. In Texas it literally takes you 6 years to get the license to go into business doing any type of plumbing
I'm very interested in the Copywriting trade, but will AI replace this? I do voiceover work and I write. I am worried that both Copywriting and VO will be replaced by AI. Thanks for the video!!
Going to have to disagree with the web dev. I know persons who went to school for web dev and guess what they're not going. The web dev tools available now make it too easy for anyone to make a page now. I paid a guy like $1400 to make a page for me, but left out that he wanted $250 a month to 'maintain' the page. In other words $250 to hold it hostage. I told him to get lost there was no way I was paying him $250 a month to do nothing, so he pulled the page. Made one myself from Godaddy for free and it turned out dang near just as good. Slapping myself for not doing that to begin with.
i feel like all these depend on location, also some id be weary of for example construction yeah you can make a lot but it destroys your body, also you will probably start off at 12 an hour here in texas and it will be a long time before you see higher pay, sales yeah can make a lot but i you have to find a good product and 2 you will always be on call and probably work mandatory weekends and long hours and every week maybe different pay, same with trucker you will be gone a lot say good bye to social life and family, Most it and data analyst jobs do want degrees you dont need one, im in data and i dont need one but if i want to get the higher paying jobs i do its almost impossible to land a 80k+ job without one.
Great video. While I do agree that most of the IT skills do not require you to have a degree, you do need certifications and some experience to get the high paying roles. I have been in IT for over 22 years and most jobs I have applied for lately, including some of those mentioned in the video, won't even take your resume into consideration without at minimum a Bachelor's degree in addition to the required skills and experience. But still a good video nonetheless!!

@@JoshuaParnell-k2y I’m in the north, the company I work for pays their EMTs $18-22.25/hr with shift differential. The lowest they pay their paramedics is $25/hr. Idk who in their right mind would accept that in this economy, after my medic I’m asking for $28-30/hr cause rent isn’t getting cheaper.
Thank you for the list . This is really helpful especially for me. I have ADD and it’s hard to come up with a list of my own. Hearing it from you makes it more clear and I can then branch out from that. I personally love making things. Crafts. I know there is a market for that. There’s plenty for us all no matter what we dive into. I appreciate your videos!
You are so welcome! Yes, there is a market for that fur sure.
Thanks a lot, i have watched this video and even gone through some of the comments. I started college but unfortunately didn't finish, been an IT student and still on it though working in the beauty industry currently. On data science certification course at the moment and I'm really encouraged to pursue it, with the hard work and prayers that I'm putting i place i will get there
Been driving tractor trailers since I was 21 years old, I’m 51 and still at it. Not always easy but I’m home everyday and have even owned 3 trucks over the years, it keeps the bills paid and paid off 😎
Ive been thinking about getting my CDL A but man you hear some horror stories, terrible drivers, bad road conditions, 10-13hrs a day, low pay to start... seem like you gotta give up a chunk of your life for it
I respect this, but working just to pay bills bothers me. What motivates you? I guess you enjoy what you do, and not only doing it for 30 years just to pay bills.
Wow...excellent content once again. I'm in IT so I'll share a couple other high paid skills...the first is what I do...Data Development. Data development is one level deeper than Data Analysis. It's almost like software development on the data side. It involves creating the data and/or the structures required to store and retrieve the data. Data Modelers. Data modeling involves creating the blue prints used to create the storage design for business data (kind of like blue prints for a house except it's data). The best way to find these jobs is if you're lucky enough to know people in IT OR establishing relationships with professional IT recruiters. The easiest way to get into the IT jobs is STILL by way of desktop support IF you cannot find your chosen job directly...THEN finding your way to your chosen career path. Often times, these higher level skills being discussed may require some sort of experience because a lot of companies may want their candidate to "hit the job running" (so-to-speak...).
@@EIStudent without degree possible
@@allinaik3313 Yes. I'm living proof of that. IT is a career path where education is secondary to skill. And if you think about it, it makes sense. Who cares where you went to college if you don't know what you're doing? Businesses have IT problems to solve. The vast majority of businesses will take the person who has the highest level of skill over the highest level of education nearly every time.

Many of this blue collar jobs can pay well, but they come with a list of problems.

I don’t know about sales 😂 As a car salesman I see us getting replaced by AI on a daily basis. Pretty much all we’ll be doing soon is handing off the keys.
And car salesman are soulless evil maniacs
How is AI doing that? What's the name of the software?
@@SombraLocs it’s built into a lot of CRM now. The customer clicks on the car on the website and the AI immediately sends them a message on behalf of the dealership BUT HERES THE THING. The AI can go through the entire online purchasing process as if it were a real human just talking to the customer.
It’s really cool from a tech lovers perspective but really really scary from a salesman perspective because many times customers will take their process to the very end just to not follow through, and this gives us false inquires. The issue with that is ANYONE has access to this. So a teenager who just wants to see the price of their dream car will just go making a bunch of inquiries. And that really messes with our stats and makes it hard to find real customers because of the spam.
@@WaveManMike we have something similar, but most of the time we have to take over the bot because people always like to negotiate the price. I still think people are best for sales.

But is oversaturated.
I'm an industrial maintenence technician. I'm in the North Alabama area which is booming with work and it has caused a maintenance shortage. There is high demand for maintenance men in my area. There are certificates and even a maintenance degree that our community colleges in the area offer, but plants are getting so desperate theyre offering maintenence apprenticeships which will pay for tuition and you dont need a degree for it.
I wish it was like this in Texas
@bottomtiercollector may I ask, how much the compensation is?
@tayloranderson616 apprectices and technicians early in their career can expect somewhere between $18-$25/hr depending on the company. Most of the best paying jobs in the area top out around $38-$42/hr... There's even some plants that will take every employee over top out for the life of their career with cost of living raises. It's not common but you can break into the 50s an hour in maintenance in this area, but that requires a lot of time and experience... Most plants offer overtime and that's the pathway to grossing over $100k a year in the field.

Data is still big because those are the people that deal with the data used to train the AI. I'd guess this will actually grow as AI gets bigger. Web developer, and copywriting I expect AI will make people a lot more productive so will need less people on these jobs.
People who don't continually improve their skills will be left behind in any field. The guy who used to deliver ice to homes lost his job. The man who delivered milk to homes lost his job. The salesman who sold Edsels lost his job.

Sure do. I never understood when people say "no experience" or "no degree" it's a complete lie.
There are online trainings, Udemy, coursera, etc that you can use for certifications. The market usually pays based on the values that we provide. Think of it as learning or self development and getting paid as a side effect. I found my very first certification was the most difficult, but all much easier after. Hope that helps.

To be a medic you need at minimum an associates, for an emt its a high school diploma. in ems urban areas is where u want to go to make decent money. In Md emts can start at 25/hr and medics 32/hr and thats just ift side, bonuses and OT will get you ina better financial place. In 911 its as you say after OT 70- 80k for emt and 100k+ for medics, im just ball parking it. Stress also plays a big part so choose wisely. And again Its lucrative because of bonuses and OT. And you can also be a travel emt/paramedic, which like travel nurses make money

City Bus Driver/Metro Bus Driver/Coach Bus Drivers
It mixes good driving skills with customer service. All you need is a CDL B with Air Brakes and Passenger Endorsements. You can get free training from various SchoolBus companies, who are also looking for bus drivers desperately.
A lot of these bus jobs are unions, local and you can easily make $90-$120k first year depending if you work extra overtime.
Coach Buses are somewhat of a different animal. You can make so much off of tips alone. And there are opportunities to become the driver for pro sports leagues or even college teams.

Not sure this video is adding any value.. I spent 35 years in tech across all tech areas from development, system admin, web technologies and I believe.. new people need to look at trades.. IT value is not where it use to be.. work is not secure.. Google, Facebook, Microsoft dumped thousands of employees frequently. My brother... tech is a gamble.
I thought A.I. was going to replace copy writers. No? My daughter recently asked me about copywriting and I told her look into Data Analysis instead.
Speaking as a software developer I Still equal my salary doing Copywriting and have been for the last 18 months. New people making money all the time as Copywriters. Even easier with AI. AI has made me quicker with output. AI can do copy but still not as good as the creative human mind at this point. Used more as an aid today but it can't replace writers yet.
The majority of these jobs require some kind of education though. While they may not require a college degree, software developers, paramedics, copywriters, mechanics, and most skilled tradesmen all have to go to some kind of school and many of these professions require some kind of technical licensure.
Or if not school some training which IMO over time is very similar to having a degree just not one that takes too many weeks/months/years!!!!

Wife of an A&P(airplane) mechanic here. Though you don't need a degree, you pretty much do need a license. My husband has both the A(airframe) and P(powerplant). I do believe there are still a few places besides the military that will employ you without a license, you are much better off with them. They aren't cheap. I've heard around $30,000 for A&P schooling anymore, but there are also companies that offer apprenticeships.

Going to have to disagree with the web dev. I know persons who went to school for web dev and guess what they're not going. The web dev tools available now make it too easy for anyone to make a page now. I paid a guy like $1400 to make a page for me, but left out that he wanted $250 a month to 'maintain' the page. In other words $250 to hold it hostage. I told him to get lost there was no way I was paying him $250 a month to do nothing, so he pulled the page. Made one myself from Godaddy for free and it turned out dang near just as good. Slapping myself for not doing that to begin with.
How come when you look at job applications for some of these such as a copywriter, they all require a degree mostly bachelors
Thank you

i feel like all these depend on location, also some id be weary of for example construction yeah you can make a lot but it destroys your body, also you will probably start off at 12 an hour here in texas and it will be a long time before you see higher pay, sales yeah can make a lot but i you have to find a good product and 2 you will always be on call and probably work mandatory weekends and long hours and every week maybe different pay, same with trucker you will be gone a lot say good bye to social life and family, Most it and data analyst jobs do want degrees you dont need one, im in data and i dont need one but if i want to get the higher paying jobs i do its almost impossible to land a 80k+ job without one.
Great video. While I do agree that most of the IT skills do not require you to have a degree, you do need certifications and some experience to get the high paying roles. I have been in IT for over 22 years and most jobs I have applied for lately, including some of those mentioned in the video, won't even take your resume into consideration without at minimum a Bachelor's degree in addition to the required skills and experience. But still a good video nonetheless!!
