Video summary
The video explores five specific professions that are currently facing severe labor shortages despite widespread fears that artificial intelligence has rendered them obsolete. The central argument is that while AI may automate certain tasks or replace some entry-level functions, it cannot replicate the nuanced human judgment required in critical fields like healthcare and infrastructure. Consequently, these industries are desperate for skilled workers, leading to significantly higher salaries and increased demand. The speaker emphasizes a recurring theme: when society writes off a job as dead due to technological advancements, that very scarcity drives up wages and creates new opportunities for those willing to step into the gap.
The first three jobs highlighted include embryologists, mainframe developers, and data center electricians. Embryologists are essential for fertility treatments involving IVF, where AI assists in ranking embryos but cannot replace the human expert who handles eggs and embryos directly; this shortage is projected to require tens of thousands of new hires by 2035. Mainframe developers maintain ancient computer systems that still power global banking and government operations, a role AI cannot fully validate or explain without human oversight. Similarly, data center electricians are needed to build the physical infrastructure for AI servers, a trade so in demand that tech giants like Meta are funding free training academies to fill the gap, with some workers earning over $100,000 annually without needing a traditional degree.
The final two professions discussed are medical interpreters and pharmacists. Medical interpreters are crucial for ensuring accurate communication between doctors and patients during critical moments, a task where machine translation fails due to safety risks and lack of nuance, leading to serious patient harm when human interpreters are unavailable. Pharmacists act as the final safety checkpoint before medication reaches a patient's body, catching dangerous drug interactions that AI tools cannot reliably verify. The video notes that pharmacy school applications have plummeted while job openings remain high, creating an ironic situation where the profession is understaffed not because the work is gone, but because potential candidates are discouraged by debt and burnout rather than automation.
Throughout the presentation, the speaker shares personal anecdotes and success stories to illustrate how individuals can leverage their existing experience to build new income streams, often through content creation on platforms like YouTube. The narrative suggests that the modern education system often fails to prepare people for these high-demand trades, leaving a void that practical skills and real-world experience can fill. By documenting their work or teaching others how to enter these fields, professionals can not only secure stable employment but also create additional revenue sources, effectively turning their expertise into a sustainable career path regardless of age or prior tech savviness.

These are the five jobs that are begging
for workers because everyone thinks that
AI took them. And I promise at least one
of them is going to be a good fit for
you. Now, one pays up to $157,000
a year for a job that most people can't
even name. Several will take you with no
degree. And one of them is the career
that the godfather of AI himself says is
the smartest bet that you can make. Now,
I'm the guy who went $300,000 in student
loan debt for a doctorate before
figuring out how careers actually work.
Then I built the career channel that I
wish I had when I was trying to figure
out what to do with my life. And since
then, I've had over a thousand verified
testimonials from people that my
business partners and I have helped land
jobs. And here's the mechanism for this
whole video. Most people here, AI took
that job and walk away without checking.
The checkers are finding empty lines,
desperate employers, and pay that keeps
climbing. Now, some of you might have
been laid off by the exact technology in
this title. Some of you are picking a
career right now, and you're terrified
of picking the wrong one. And some of
you might have been telling yourself
that it's too late to start over. Well,
I'm telling you right now that whether
you're just trying to land your first
job or you're switching careers late in
life, there's going to be a career in
this video with your name on it. Every
stat is going to be on the screen with a
named source. I am bringing receipts and
my personal pick is going to be in here
and I'll tell you when we hit it, but
it's going to be hiding towards the end.
So, if you appreciate me making this
type of content, you want me to make
more of it in the future, then let me
know by gently cheersing that like
button. And let's go ahead and jump in
right now.
All right, the first one is going to be
an embryologist. And this might be the
most important job that you've never
heard a single person talk about, and it
was supposed to be wiped out by AI. Now,
an embryologist is a scientist or lab
expert who helps people have babies
using fertility treatments like IVF. And
they handle and care for human eggs,
sperm, and embryos in a special lab. And
their hands literally hold somebody's
future kid in a petri dish. Now, you've
seen the headlines. AI picks the
embryos. Now, robot IVF labs, all of it.
And the headlines aren't lying. MIT
Technology Review reports that AI
systems already rank embryos, and an AI
assisted robotic IVs system has at least
19 real babies born from it. So, the job
must be done for, right? Wrong. The
fertility industry's own trade press
projects that it needs 43,000 more human
embryologists and 4,000 new IVF labs by
2035 just to meet demand. The same
reports say that the embryologist
shortage is now as bad or worse than the
shortage of fertility doctors and it's
driving up salaries. And remember this
line because it runs through the whole
video. When everyone writes the job off,
the job starts overpaying. And this is
very similar to what's happened at,
let's just say, every technological
advancement in all of human history. So
for instance, when farm equipment came
out, it killed 40% of US jobs, but it
freed up workers to have better jobs in
factories, food processing, and
equipment manufacturing. So way more
jobs popped up. Then factories came out
and they killed blacksmiths, weavers,
and home craftsmen. Then
telecommunication came out, and it
killed telegraph messengers, and
switchboard operators. But it created
call centers, phone sales, customer
service, and broadcasting. Then
computers came out, and it killed typing
pools, manual bookkeepers, and human
calculators. But it created programmers,
IT departments, and data analysts. And
then the internet came out. It killed
most travel agents, video store clerks,
and newspaper classifides. But it
created e-commerce, digital marketing,
app developers, and an entire creator
economy. And hey, AI came out, and it's
killing some jobs as well, or it's
changing the nature of jobs. But even
more jobs are popping up as a
consequence of it. So, a great example
of that is when ATMs first came out.
Everybody thought that bank tellers were
all going to lose their jobs. And at
first there were bank tellers that were
laid off, but then banks just pivoted
into giving better service to their
customers instead of spending all of
their time counting money, right? So it
is the exact same thing happening here.
And to me, this job is so fascinating
because you are responsible for bringing
a human into the world and people are
obsessed with this kind of stuff. I
mean, who wouldn't be, right? And that's
why there's a 43 second clip called
watch an egg get fertilized. And it's
gained 5.7 million views. And this was
an artificial fertilization. And while I
was looking into this job, I found
another video from Ted Ed. That's an
explainer video on how IVF works. And it
got 3.4 million views. And according to
View Stats, that video alone made over
$16,000.
So millions of people are watching this
job get done, but almost nobody doing
the job is filming it. And that's why
when Heather was hired as an
embryologist, she filmed herself doing
the job. And I hope you get the point
here. You do the job and then you record
yourself doing the job and you can get
paid even extra for doing it. More on
that later. But embryologists make about
96 to $157,000
a year, guys. Now, by the way, the way
to get into these jobs is going to be
different depending on the country
you're watching or the state that you're
watching this from, what your background
experience is, and a bunch of other
things. And that is why we created an AI
where you just have to answer a few
questions and it will give you
step-by-step instructions on how to get
into these exact jobs that is
personalized to you and your situation.
So, you can click the third link in the
description and the pin comment below to
access that. 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 in as little as 15 to 30 minutes a
day and you can actually grow a fulltime
YouTube channel. That's exactly what I'm
going to be talking about at the live
training that we're doing this week.
Exactly how to grow your YouTube
channel. So click the link in the
description, the pin 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 is stuff
that we never talked about before. So,
click that link in the description
below, and I look forward to seeing you
there. All right, let's move on to the
second job in the list, which is a
cobalt or mainframe developer. And yes,
I'm telling you that a dead programming
language from 1960s is a job in this
video. Now, Cobalt developers maintain
the decades old systems that still
process the money. Banks, insurance
companies, healthcare, government, the
code that your paycheck probably runs
through right now. And everyone assumed
that AI killed this job twice. First,
because the language is ancient, and
second, because AI can translate old
code. But here's what an AWS executive
aka the people building the AI
translation tools told it pro. AI can't
and shouldn't replace Cobalt experts
because you need humans to validate the
code and explain the business logic. And
her exact problem is that Cobalt
expertise is declining and the AI
company is publicly begging for humans
everyone thought that the AI replaced.
And the desperation is visible. Right?
There's a tech recruiter named Chris and
he's on YouTube right now pitching a
real remote mainframe role at $102 an
hour. And so when you have a recruiter
making content because he can't fill a
seat, you know that they're down bad and
they really need people who have this
skill set. And Zip Recruiter shows over
64 open Cobalt developer listings as I'm
recording this video right now. And they
pay really well. And as you probably
know if you follow the channel, what I
advocate is that once you are hired in a
job, film yourself doing the job or
teach people how to do the job or teach
people how to get into the job or teach
people the tech that's involved in
getting into the job or what
certifications people have to take to
get into it or the skills that they need
to know to get into it, etc., etc.
Basically, the boring stuff because this
stuff pays like crazy on YouTube. And
that's why a creator named D made a
video called The World Depends on
60-year-old Code that no one knows
anymore. And it got 1.1 million views
because even programmers are just now
discovering this hidden lane. And even
the consulting giants are running AI
powered cobalt modernization projects,
which is exactly why the human experts
get hired to check the machines work.
Cobalt developers in general make about
$83 to $138,000 a year and they are in
massive demand. All right, next is going
to be a data center electrician. And
this one is ironic because people keep
saying that AI is taking everybody's
jobs, but AI cannot even turn itself on
without an electrician. Right? Every
answer ChatBT gives you comes from
physical servers sitting inside enormous
buildings. And those buildings need
power systems, backup batteries,
generators, control panels, and
thousands of electrical connections. And
every one of them still has to be
installed and maintained and repaired by
an actual human. And Wired told the
whole story in one headline. why there
aren't enough electricians and plumbers
to build AI data centers. And CBS
Evening News covered the same crisis.
Roughly 400,000 unfilled trades jobs in
the United States with the data center
boom stacking demand on top of them. And
it's not only technicians. Data centers
need plumbers and pipe fitters to move
cooling water, a trade that's already
projected to be short 550,000 people.
HVAC tech to keep the servers from
overheating, welders for the steel,
fiber technicians to connect everything,
and generator text to keep it alive when
the grid blinks. And that's why the
godfather of AI himself, Jeffrey Hinton,
the same man who famously told the world
to stop training radiologists, now said
that his best career bet is word for
word to be a plumber. And Nvidia CEO
Jensen Hang says that we're going to
need hundreds of thousands of these
trade workers because a single AI data
center takes up to 1,500 of them to
build. And a lot of them clear $100,000
with no degree. And Bloomberg's name for
all of this, they're calling it a blue
collar gold rush. Here's how desperate
the employers actually got. Meta is
putting 115 million into a free trades
academy. You finish the training, you
walk out with an industry credential,
and you get paired with one of Meta's
own contractors on a data center site, a
guaranteed job funded by big tech. So,
while the tech companies cut office
jobs, which for sure, there are some
jobs that are actually getting cut.
They're spending millions recruiting the
people who can physically build the AI
economy. And Google is even producing
behind-the-scenes recruiting films for
its data center crews. And by the way,
one little pro tip is whenever you see a
company producing videos talking about
specific careers, you know that they're
down bad when it comes to that career.
You know that they badly need people to
work in those jobs. And this is where my
brother Zach's story gets really
interesting. Zach spent almost 30 years
working in the trades and he was doing
the exact hands-on skills that these
companies are now spending millions
trying to find. But after decades in the
trades, the work was taking a real toll
on his body. And on a family vacation,
he pulled me aside and he asked me
straight up, "How do I keep making money
without breaking my body?" And he
expected me to probably tell him like an
online job or some sort of certification
or maybe a cushy office job. But I just
told him, "Just start YouTube, bro." And
he gave me every excuse in the book. He
said, "Oh, I'm too old. I'm in my 50s.
No one wants to listen to a 50-year-old.
I'm not techsavvy. I've never recorded a
video in my life. I don't know anything
about social media, etc., etc." But I
just told him, "Just trust me. Follow
the playbook. Follow the system, and
it's going to work for So instead of
letting 30 years of experience
disappear, he put it on YouTube. And his
channel, Zack of All Trades, he teaches
people how these jobs actually work and
what the different trades really pay and
how to get in without wasting years on
the wrong path. And he's even got a
whole video breaking down whether you
should become an electrician or not,
just as an example. And here's the part
that most trades people never even
consider. Zach didn't just use his
experience to find work, he turned the
experience into a second income. His
first ever video that he posted took
off, got over 822,000 views, and 29 days
later, he made $214 in a single day from
AdSense. That's about a $78,000 year run
rate. So, he went from zero to a
full-time income in less than a month.
And just last month, he had his record
month and it was over $18,000. Zach's
story hands you two separate plays. You
can walk into a trade that these
employers are desperate for, or once you
have experience, you can teach what you
know online and build a whole new income
stream on top of it. Because it is very
clear that the modern education system
is not filling these jobs up fast
enough, right? It is not properly
training people for the jobs that
actually have demand. They're too busy
forcing people to get completely useless
degrees that put them tens of thousands
of dollars in student loan debt with
absolutely nothing to show for it.
Excuse my language. And by the way, it's
not just Zach. There's tons of other
people that I have helped in my
community literally teach what they
already know on YouTube. Whether it's
career related stuff, there's a lot of
people like that. For instance, Nurse
Jen, she went from zero to a full-time
income in just a few months. Quit her
job. She's making over $10,000 a month
now and traveling all over the United
States in her van living her dream life.
And it's because she started sharing
what she was already telling her
patients on a day-to-day basis on
YouTube. And she's actually 60 years old
and she literally just recorded it on
her webcam. Or Josh Madakor. He's been
working in IT and cyber security for a
long time. and he started making these
very useful videos just teaching people
about IT and cyber security and how to
land the best jobs. And he went from
zero to over $180,000 in a single month
doing this. And by the way, it's not
just jobreated. It's anything that you
have solve problems with, any experience
that you have. You can just teach it on
YouTube and especially if you're on the
older side, this is working incredibly
well. So, just as an example of
something that's not jobreated, Isaiah
Harris, he teaches people how to sing at
a professional level of competence. and
he started with us this year and he's
now made over a $100,000 on YouTube and
he was able to quit his sales job
because of it. Or Dr. Danny, she's
working as a doctor, but she also loves
makeup and skincare. So, we combined her
profession and her professional
expertise with her passion and her
channel is all about how to age well.
And one of the very first videos that
she uploaded using our system did over
900,000 views in just a few weeks. And
these people are not special. They're
just using the same playbook that I'm
talking about today. You go through
life, you do jobs, you acquire
experience, and then you just film
yourself doing the job or you teach
other people how to do the thing or
overcome the problem or what you learned
with your experience. And a lot of the
time, it's really boring stuff. As I
always say, there's billions in the
boring. Now, if you want to learn
exactly how I helped all of these
community members achieve these results,
I'm actually doing a live training this
week where I'm going to go over exactly
how to do it as a beginner step by step.
You can click the link in the
description in the pin comment below to
check that out. I'll be there and I'll
answer any questions that you have. And
I'll also be giving away a one-time
bonus for attending, which is an AI that
helps you pick your niche if you don't
have one already, or if you already have
one, it's going to help you make it 10
times better. So, do not miss out on it.
Click that link in the description in
the pin comment below, and I look
forward to seeing you there. All right.
Next is a medical interpreter. So, this
is the job that Google Translate was
supposed to kill 10 years ago, and AI
was definitely supposed to finish it
off, but the opposite happened. Medical
interpreters convert what the doctors
say and what the patients say in real
time during diagnosis, emergencies, and
consent conversations where one wrong
word can genuinely hurt somebody. And
here's the reality check. The Hastings
Center reports that medical
interpretation in the US is so
inadequate that it's actively harming
patients. So delayed emergency care for
kids, more medical errors, higher costs,
etc., etc., because there aren't enough
human interpreters and hospitals keep
falling back on machine translation that
fails exactly when it matters. And
Google Translate doesn't even support
Cantonese properly, which is a language
with over 70 million speakers. And HIMS,
the health tech industry's own body,
says that hospitals are exploring AI
translation tools specifically because
of interpreter shortages while admitting
that nobody has a consistent way to test
whether those tools are safe or not. And
the shortage is so bad that they're
reaching for tools that they can't even
verify. That is not a replace job. That
is a desperate one. And it's even gotten
serious enough that JAMA, the top
medical journal in the country, is
publishing episodes debating whether AI
can safely interpret in a clinic. And
the language services companies are so
hungry for interpreters that they are
producing entire podcast series about
the career just to recruit people into
it. Now, to know exactly what a medical
interpreter does, I went to YouTube and
found a video from Wired where they
filmed a professional interpreter and
had him break down realtime
interpretation. And that video has 9.2
million views and it made $45,000.
And that's just in AdSense money alone.
And by the way, there's way better ways
to make money on YouTube outside of
AdSense. We made like $33,000 last month
from AdSense. And that was less than 5%
of our total income. That's another
thing I'm going to be talking about at
the live training. So, click that link
in the description in the pin comment
below to check that out. $45,000 just
from ad revenue alone for a relatively
simple video. So, if you are thinking of
doing this job, then I suggest that you
record yourself doing the job and get
paid extra for it, cuz medical
interpreters make $79 to $147,000 a
year. And the next job is going to be a
pharmacist or just medical careers in
general. But I'm choosing pharmacist for
a specific reason because I used to be
one. Now, pharmacists are the last
checkpoint between a doctor's
prescription and your body, and they
catch the deadly drug interactions and
dosing mistakes before you swallow them.
And everybody believed that AI would
replace pharmacists. But according to
research, AI is just a tool and could
not replace the pharmacist. And
according to me, that's a big duh. But I
am biased. And Axios reports that
pharmacy school applications collapsed
by 64% from about 100,000 a year down to
about 36,000 while Walgreens's own chief
pharmacy officer is out here saying,
quote, we have got to evolve this to get
people excited to get back in the
industry. So, let's go ahead and walk
through what actually happened here,
right? AI and automation showed up
around this job. The applicants
vanished, but the jobs didn't. AI did
not take the jobs. It took the
applicants and the BLS still projects
that there's 14,200 pharmacy openings
every single year and they make a median
of $137,000
a year. And you can watch this whole
irony play out on screen. Violin MD
shadowed a hospital pharmacist for a
full shift. Got 643,000 views. And the
video literally shows the pharmacy
robots working while the human
pharmacist runs everything around them.
And I would know why people are quitting
this job because they are getting burned
out. Now, you might ask, how would you
know that, Shane? Well, I'm glad you
asked. Well, it's because I am a
pharmacist myself. I went to school, got
my doctorate, became a pharmacist cuz I
didn't want to be poor anymore. And I
got into $300,000 in student loan debt.
And it was really a terrible situation
because I started as a pharmacist right
before the pandemic hit. And I was
overworked, stressed out, depressed,
burnt out, and if all of that wasn't
enough, we also got robbed three times
in a six-month period. So, I was also in
fear of my physical safety on a
day-to-day basis. And because of that, I
tried just about every side hustle out
there to make money. And that includes
YouTube. and I would write my scripts
during my lunch and record during the
weekends. And fast forward to today,
I've made over $10 million from my
YouTube channel. I've helped over a
thousand verified testimonials get their
dream jobs. And I've helped another
thousand people build their side income
using YouTube. And for most of them, it
was as a side hustle on top of what they
were already doing like their current
job. Just like nurse Jen for instance,
who is a teleaalth nurse and she said it
was burning her out and she needed a way
to find another income. She found my
content, started attending my live
trainings, and booked a call with us and
joined our program. And before joining
us, she said she was a complete
beginner, no idea what to make and no
experience. And in her own words, she
said, "I hadn't dipped my toe into
YouTube yet." And now she's got over
40,000 subscribers, and her channel
already has 5.1 million views. Three of
her videos have already gotten over
600,000 views. And I just spoke with her
recently, and she told me that one, she
now travels all over the US in her
camper van, which was always her dream
thanks to us, which is absolutely
unreal. and she records her videos
part-time while she's traveling in her
camper van inside the van itself,
literally on her laptop with her webcam.
And this month, she made over $10,000
just from AdSense alone. And these are
numbers that most creators chase for
years. But she was able to achieve that
in a matter of a few months. And she was
able to do all of it because of my
YouTube systems as well as AI. So AI
giveth and AI taketh away sometimes. But
if you want to be on the side of AI
giving you something, and if you want to
learn exactly how nurse Jen got these
results, and oh by the way, she's 60
years old. I didn't mention that, but if
you want to learn how she got these
results, go ahead and click the link in
the description and the pin comment
below to attend the live training. And I
look forward to seeing you there. With
that being said, I know 99% of you are
going to watch these videos, get a ton
of value out of them. You're going to
download the free resources that I have
in the description, get a ton of value
out of those, and you're going to attend
my live trainings and get a lot of value
out of that as well. And we are never
going to end up working together. And
that is completely fine. I always want
to give way more value than what I
receive. But I also know that there's 1%
of you out there, maybe 0.1% of you out
there that want a one-on-one mentorship
experience. You want to work with us
very closely so you can get results on
YouTube as quickly and easily as
possible. Or you want us to literally
just do the work for you. And if that
sounds like you, go ahead and book a
call by clicking the link in the
description and the pin comment below.
But only do it if you are very serious
about growing and making money on
YouTube. We only accept about 18% of
people who apply. Types of people we
typically work with are professionals
with at least 10 years of experience or
overachievers. basically people that
have value to give to the world. They've
solved problems. They have experience.
They have wisdom. And they can help
other people solve their problems by
making content on YouTube. Or business
owners that want to grow their brand on
YouTube, get more clients, and make more
money. Or YouTubers that are already
getting views, but they're struggling
with monetization. Or YouTubers that are
crushing it, but they want to crush it
even harder. Or people that are big on
other social media platforms or they
already have audiences that they want to
bring over to YouTube because they know
that YouTube is the best platform. So,
if that sounds like you, go ahead and
click the second link in the description
in the pin comment below to book that
call. But again, only do it if you are
very serious about growing and making
money on YouTube. It is very expensive
for us to do one-on-one work with
people. So, it's going to cost a lot of
money and we give the information away
for free, but we sell the
implementation. And if you want to learn
exactly how we helped Nurse Jen grow,
well, I just did an interview with her,
and you can check that out by clicking
right here.
