- What's going on, you guys?
I hope you're having a fantastic day.
So I'm officially moved in to my new apartment here
but I was going to be doing my apartment tour
but I'm still waiting on my couch to get here.
I decided to do a different video today.
We're gonna be talking about the best jobs
And first of all, because it is a Monday,
I want to announce the winner
of the weekly membership to Stock Radar.
That is the Stock Analysis membership site.
And this week's winner is Landon McDowell.
And if you guys wanna enter that,
remember every single Monday,
I give away a lifetime membership to Stock Radar
and all the details on how to enter
are in the description below.
But the idea for this video came from something very simple
and that was the video I did recently talking about
why I quit my $70,000 job
after learning about passive income.
And I was very surprised that a lot of people
were commenting and asking me
how did I make $70,000 a year at 22 years old.
And to me this seemed like a no-brainer
because I knew how to do this and it really wasn't that hard
but I think a lot of people don't realize
how much money you could actually make
depending on what field you get into.
Now I will say this, if you watched that video,
you know that I quit that job because I hated it
and I hated my life, and so I don't do that anymore.
So don't think that you can just make a lot of money
and it's going to make you happy.
That's a complete fallacy.
And don't fall into that trap of chasing the money
rather than chasing your passion.
But with that being said, if you have no clue
what you wanna do and you just wanna make some money
to save up some money to start a business
or you're just looking to have a good salary
or a good wage, these are the five areas
I would recommend going into.
So my number one recommendation to you
is to get involved with a trade.
Now this could be something like being an electrician.
This could be carpentry.
This could be using your hands and doing plumbing.
This could be being a pipe fitter.
No matter what it is though, these trade jobs
pay very well, especially if you are in a union.
And the other beauty with this is that you can start off
as an apprentice
and have absolutely zero dollars of educational costs.
So typically these apprentices are five years,
I know I was looking at the IEBU
or International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers.
I decided to get a two year degree
in electrical construction.
But before I did that,
I was considering entering the electrical union.
And if you do that, you start off at about $14 an hour
and you don't have any college at all
that you're paying for.
You just go to work and you often times
are taking classes at night.
But they're basically paying you to learn this trade
and five years down the road, you could have that wage
of $40 an hour or more.
So I know the IEBW, the electrical union I was looking at
topped out at about $40 per hour
and that's a salary of just over $83,000 per year
with absolutely zero college.
Now it will take you about five years to get there
but the beauty of it is, you're making money
in each of those years as an apprentice.
And again, like I said, you start off at about
$14 per hour and once you're making
that $80,000 a year, you have absolutely zero dollars
in student loans and you can also transfer
to different unions
if you're in an actual electrical union.
You can work anywhere in the country if you wanted to.
Now the second route is actually what I did,
and this is my educational background.
So when I was in high school,
I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life.
I knew I enjoyed teaching people
but I had a bunch of people tell me
that you can't be a teacher.
You're not going to make any money.
And unfortunately, I believed these people
and I made the decision to go off and get a degree
in electrical construction
and this was solely based on the fact
that I took an electronics class in high school
and I thought it was kind of interesting.
So anyways, I went to community college.
I got a degree in electrical construction and maintenance.
And that degree cost me about $12,000.
Now I did have my grandfather help me out with that,
so I didn't have to pay for that college,
but I had about a $15,000 limit as far as my college went.
Anything beyond that would be coming out of my pocket.
So I spent about $12,000 on that degree.
It took me two years to get that associate's degree,
and then a week before I graduated,
I actually got a job working for the local power utility.
Now, I started off in the collections department
so what I would do, I'd go door to door.
I would knock on people's door
and I would shut off their power
if they wouldn't pay their bill.
And it was a terrible job.
It was one of the worst summers of my entire life
but anyways, it led to me getting a full time position
with that company.
But my starting out wage there,
my hourly rate as a collector was $27.20 per hour.
And that ends up being a salary of about $56,000 per year.
And do keep in mind that working for a utility,
you do get a decent amount of overtime.
So I was a collector for about eight months
and then in the fall, that is when I got
my permanent job there as a planner.
So what I would do is,
I would do the preliminary design work
for the overhead power line construction.
A great job if you're into math and engineering
but it just wasn't for me.
But that job paid me $31.62 an hour
and that job topped out at $50 an hour
and it took you five years to get there.
So I was making about $65,000 per year at that job
starting out, and within five years,
it was a guaranteed pay of over $100,000
if I stuck with that progression.
But as I'm sure you guys know,
that is not how that job panned out.
I decided to start a YouTube channel
and go full-time with that.
But nonetheless, utility workers make a lot of money,
especially if you're in a union.
So the second route I would recommend going
is looking at some kind of utility construction work.
Number three on the list here is one you probably
never thought of before, but it's air traffic control.
These are very high stress jobs but they pay a lot of money.
Most people working in air traffic control
make over $120,000 per year.
And as far as the educational schooling goes for this,
there are actually specific schools out there
for air traffic control.
So it's not like you're going out there
and getting a formal degree of some kind.
You go to a specific training school
where you learn air traffic control.
And they have ones all over the country.
Now is this a line of work I would wanna do?
Absolutely not.
I mean, you are looking at the planes in the air,
the planes that are landing, making sure that there are
no possible threats to our safety.
So it's a very high stress job
but this is a very high paying job
that requires very little schooling
and not a lot of upfront investment
as far as education goes.
So number four on my list here is radiation therapy
or being a radiation therapist.
Essentially, helping people, cancer patients
or other patients with radiation treatments.
Now this is a job that you typically see people
with a bachelor's degree doing very well with
but you can actually get into this field
with an associate's degree
and expect to make somewhere around $80,000 per year
as a radiation therapist.
And there are all kinds of different school
in the country here that teach you radiation therapy
and specific programs for that.
I know the college I went to, the community college,
had a program for both dental hygienists
and radiation technology and radiation technicians
and those were very affordable programs
at a community college.
So we're talking about potentially investing
$15,000, maybe $20,000 at most in your education
and being able to come out making $80,000 a year.
That's not a bad investment right there.
And then fifth and finally, we have to include
being a registered nurse.
This is a fantastic field to be getting into.
Anything relating to healthcare,
just because of the aging population.
More people are living longer and so we need more
people working in healthcare,
and registered nurses typically make about $68,000.
There's all kinds of associate's degree programs
all over the country where you can get into an RN program.
And you can also build upon that and excel
and make more money in that field.
And nurses also get a ton of overtime
and so that's also a great field to get into
whether or not you're a man or a woman.
I know, traditionally, it was a lot of women
in the nursing field but now it's pretty much
gender neutral and there wouldn't be any issues
with being a man in that field, making that kind of money.
So just to wrap that up, those would be my basic
recommendations here is look into the trades,
look into healthcare.
Those are two very hot areas to get into
that are going to have steady demand
as far as your work and you also have potential
to work overtime and work more hours in those jobs.
But again, the number one thing I have to stress here
is don't do something
unless you think you're going to enjoy it.
Don't just do it for the money.
Now, what I did is I worked my job
and I knew I didn't like it
and so as a result, I lived as frugally as possible.
I saved as much money as possible.
That way I could do something different down the road.
And so I saved up over $20,000
working at that job for two years.
And then I made the decision to take that leap of faith
and pursue entrepreneurship and I'm very happy
that I did that, but I would just say,
make sure that before you make a major decision
and get educational schooling
and spend money on some kind of degree,
make sure you're going to at least enjoy that line of work
and have a plan down the road.
But if you have no clue what you wanna do
and you don't wanna be burdened with a ton of student debt
and student loans, this is what I would recommend doing.
Anyways guys, that's gonna wrap up this video.
