Video summary
The video challenges the common misconception that entry-level jobs require degrees, extensive experience, or perfect resumes, arguing instead that many industries are facing severe labor shortages and are actively hiring anyone willing to work. The speaker highlights five specific roles where companies have officially removed barriers to entry because they cannot find enough qualified applicants. These positions range from solar panel installation and data center HVAC maintenance to garbage collection, groundskeeping, and oil rig floorhand work. In each case, the demand for workers is so high that employers provide on-the-job training and often pay significantly more than standard government statistics suggest, especially when overtime and cash payments are factored in.
The first three jobs discussed—solar installers, data center HVAC technicians, and waste collectors—are presented as physical trades where the lack of competition among applicants allows for rapid career advancement without formal education. The speaker notes that job boards and even employers themselves are producing "day in the life" documentaries to attract workers because the talent pool is exhausted. For instance, solar companies and garbage collection crews are filming their own recruitment videos, while data centers specifically need technicians who can manage cooling systems rather than just software engineers. The video emphasizes that these roles offer a pathway for career switchers and those with gaps in their employment history, as the primary requirement is simply showing up and being willing to learn.
The final two categories include groundskeepers and oil rig crew members, which similarly rely on physical labor and resilience rather than academic credentials. Groundskeeping involves maintaining public and private properties, a field where the speaker points out that even simple tasks like mowing lawns generate massive online interest, proving that people are fascinated by these professions. Oil rigs represent the most demanding environment, requiring workers to endure long shifts in remote locations, but companies are desperate enough to hire anyone with a pulse who can handle the hardship. The speaker explains that while entry-level pay is decent, experienced roles like drilling managers or rig operators can earn six-figure salaries, making these industries lucrative for those willing to start at the bottom and work their way up.
Throughout the presentation, the speaker consistently argues that the real bottleneck in many modern sectors is not a lack of technical skill but a shortage of people willing to perform essential manual labor. He suggests that individuals can further leverage these careers by documenting their work or teaching others how to enter these fields, potentially creating side income streams through content creation. The video concludes by offering resources and live training sessions designed to help viewers navigate these opportunities, regardless of their age, background, or current skill level, reinforcing the message that hard work in these specific industries can lead to financial stability and freedom for almost anyone.
Read the full video transcript
entry level wants three years of
experience. Every application needs a
degree, a referral, and a cover letter
that nobody reads. And if your resume
has a gap, you're done for. Every bit of
that is a lie for the five jobs that
hire literally anyone with a pulse. And
one of them puts it in writing. An
official government bulletin that says,
word for word, no experience or training
is required. And these industries ran
out of applicants years ago. So the
requirements are gone and the training
comes with a paycheck. And some of these
jobs are going to be good at the entry
level for people who are getting their
first job. And some of them are going to
be much better for career switchers.
Now, I've done nothing but research jobs
and hiring for about seven years now,
and I've helped over a thousand people
with documented results get dream jobs.
So, I don't guess, I check. So, no
degree, no experience, laid off,
starting over. This video was made on
purpose for you. So, you can spend
another 6 months mass applying to jobs
that ghost you or spend the next 15
minutes seeing which employers stop
filtering people entirely. Now,
everything is going to be sourced.
government pay data and the employer's
own postings on the screen.
Additionally, I'm going to have an AI
resource which I'll put in the
description in the pin comment below
should be the third one down there where
if you're interested in one of these
jobs or you want to even know more of
them, it will personalize suggestions
for how you can actually land the job
depending on your background, the area
that you live in, etc. So, 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 cheersing that like button. Let's
go ahead and jump into it right now. All
right, the first one on the list is
going to be a solar panel installer. And
this job is physical, it's outdoors, and
the industry is growing faster than they
can find hands. Now, these are basically
the people who bolt the mounting racks
onto rooftops, set the panels in place,
and wire everything together. And NYA,
New York State's official energy agency,
describes this as an entry-level job
where companies will train you with
little or no experience at all. And they
are training total beginners because
there aren't enough workers. And here's
how you know a job has that problem. Job
boards start making commercials for it.
So Indeed, the job site itself, one of
the biggest job sites in the entire
world, produced a full day in the life
video following a solar power technician
named Jared. And that video has 39,000
views on YouTube.
>> Hi there, I'm Jared. This is a day in
the life of a solar powered technician.
This is Aiden, who's going to be
shadowing me today. So, when a job board
starts making many documentaries about
your job, it's because employers are
trying to get people into the job and
there's not enough people to fill the
job. And it's not just job boards. The
solar companies are filming it, too.
Like New York State Solar Farm, a local
solar company whose day in the life
video of one of their installers has
over 81,000 views.
And there's even a solar company owner
named Cody Teal who films day in the
life videos of his own crew up on the
roof as he grows his solar company.
>> This first process of your drilling
normally takes around 15 to 30 minutes.
>> So the workers film it, the companies
film it, and the job boards film it
because the demand is that real. Now,
according to BLS, solar installers
average about $51,000 a year. And one
thing that I will say about pretty much
all bluecollar or trade related careers
is what you see on BLS is going to be
significantly lower than what people can
actually make in real life. And there's
many reasons for this. BLS typically
doesn't factor in overtime pay. A lot of
the times these types of jobs are paid
in cash. And it's typically just showing
the entrylevel job, not the upper level
ones that you can go into. For instance,
lead installers can typically make 65 to
$85,000 plus dollars a year according to
Glass Door. Now, like I said before, if
you are interested in this career and
you want to know how to get into it in
your area, we made a special AI that
will personalize these suggestions to
you, your background, the area that you
live in, etc., etc. And you can check
that out by clicking the link in the
description in the pin comment below.
Additionally, it's going to give you
career advice, holistic career advice,
not just advice on how to get into this
one job, but how to actually make a plan
for your career. All right, next one is
going to be a data center HVAC
technician. So in this position you are
going to install, monitor and repair
critical cooling and ventilation
systems, industrial chillers, CRA and
CRA units and cooling towers and they
make sure that servers stay at safe
temperatures to prevent costly network
downtime. Now data centers are a hot
button issue. I am not here to agree or
disagree with them. I am just telling
you where the opportunity is. That is
all. With that being said, according to
Randstat Workforce Analysis, demand for
HVAC engineers in the data center sector
specifically has surged 67%.
So, open any tech publication today and
the narrative is predictable. AI
engineers, prompt engineers, ML
researchers, data scientists, these are
the careers of the future. LinkedIn is
flooded with posts about learning Python
and mastering LLM fine-tuning or
pivoting into machine learning. But in
reality, the real bottleneck in the AI
revolution is not the code. It's the
concrete, copper, coolant, and the
people who know how to work with them.
And I would know because my brother's in
the trade. Specifically, he's an HVAC.
And he said that it's really hard to
find an HVAC technician, especially good
ones. So, they're basically willing to
hire anyone who's willing to be trained,
and they will literally pay to train the
person. And that's why a video about
basic training for HVAC technicians is
getting a lot of views on YouTube.
Right? This is a video from AC Service
Techch LLC and they got 1.4 million
views. And we have this side in red and
that side on blue because this is the
high pressure high temperature side and
the other side is a low pressure low
temperature side. And that is a 6-minute
video that made about $6.8,000 just in
AdSense revenue alone. So literally just
from the ads that popped up on the
channel alone. And by the way, I hope
you're noticing the pattern by now,
right? People are making money on these
jobs. Plus, they're getting extra money
filming themselves doing the job or
teaching what they do on the job. So, a
great example of that is my brother
Zach. He actually came to me about a
year ago and he told me, "Shane, I'm in
my 50s. My body's starting to wear out.
The trades have been great to me, but I
want to figure out how to make money
without using my body." And he was
looking for a recommendation. And he
probably thought I was going to
recommend a remote job or some type of
certification or maybe some cushy office
job. But I told him, "No, you should
start a YouTube channel." And he gave me
every excuse in the book that he could
think of. I'm too old for YouTube. This
is only for young kids who dance to Tik
Tok. I haven't recorded a single video
in my whole life. I don't even know how
to set up a camera. I'm not techsavvy.
And I told him, just trust me. Trust me,
bro. Right? Just follow what I say and
you'll be good. And he did. Right? He
trusted me. He followed the system that
I have used to scale my own YouTube
channel to making over $10 million. And
29 days after posting his first video,
he made $214 in a single day. And that's
a $78,000 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 over
$18,000 in a single month, which is
pretty awesome for a beginner with no
tech skills. And it's not just the
trades. It could be any job or the
things that you tell your clients while
you're on the job. Just like Jyn here,
she's a healthcare professional who
recently joined our program. And before
joining us, she was a complete beginner.
No idea what to make, no experience, and
in her own words, she said, "I hadn't
dipped my toe into YouTube." And now
she's got over 40,000 subscribers. and
her channel has over 5 million views and
she's got three videos over 600,000
views and one that hit over 700,000. And
she went from zero to a full-time income
in just a couple months. And I spoke
with her and she told me that she quit
her job. She now is traveling all over
the US in her camper van, which was
always her dream. And she literally just
records her videos part-time in the back
of her van while she's traveling. And
this month, she made over $10,000 from
AdSense alone. And one thing I'll point
out about both her and Zach, Zach's in
his 50s, and she's over 50 as well. I
know she doesn't look like it, but she's
over 50 as well. And so, it doesn't
matter if you're older. In fact, being
older actually helps because information
is abundant. Now, general information,
you can easily just look it up on Google
or look it up on ChatGpt or Claude or
whatever AI you want to use. But what
isn't in abundance is wisdom and
experience. And that is what both Zach
and Nurse Jen had. And that is where the
value is now. And so, you probably have
noticed older people popping up left and
right on YouTube crushing it. And there
is a reason for that. But Shane, what if
I'm passionate about my job and other
things like my hobby? Well, you can
definitely combine your job and your
hobby, just like Dr. Danny Fischer. She
works as a doctor, but she loves talking
about makeup and serums. So, we combined
her medical expertise with how to age
well. And what do you know? One of her
very first videos that she uploaded
using our system has over 900,000 views.
Now,
>> I'm a board-certified anesthesiologist,
and before every surgery, I assess a
patient's physical reserve. And this
just happened a few weeks ago, so she's
just getting started, but she's already
crushing it. You can do that or you
could help people get into the job just
like Josh Mator, who basically just
started making really useful videos on
IT and cyber security related topics.
And he was helping people get the right
certifications or get college degree, or
in some cases, you don't have to get a
college degree or build their portfolio,
but basically get into different cyber
security and IT related jobs. And he
just made very useful content that was
helpful to people. And the craziest
thing about Josh is he actually just
used the channel to grow his personal
brand at first and basically establish
himself as an authority. And people who
were in charge of hiring inside of
Fortune50 and Fang Company started
reaching out to him, offering him the
best jobs in the world. And so he ended
up getting a remote job, making multiple
six figures a year, being able to travel
the world, and ended up living in his
dream country, which is Japan. But then
his YouTube channel just kept growing.
He got to 5,000 a month, then 10,000 a
month, then $30,000 a month, and then
eventually he scaled it all the way up
to $186,000 in a single month. And at
that point, it just did not make sense
for him to continue working in his job.
So, he quit it and went full-time on the
business. And it doesn't have to be
helping people with your job. It could
be a software that you use inside of
your job. For instance, another
community member, Steven, worked on a
software called Seammens NX, which is a
CAD software, which is for a very
specific type of engineering. And he
sold $12,000 plus dollars of course
sales in just a few months. And it
doesn't have to have anything to do with
your job. If you figure out how to make
money on the side, you can teach other
people how to do that as well. Just like
Sean, who figured out how to make money
from Amazon KDP, which is basically
selling books online, made enough money
to semi-retire, and then taught other
people how to do it as well. And we
helped him scale all the way up to over
500,000. And it doesn't have to be about
making money related stuff or stuff that
has to do with jobs or education or
anything like that. It can be something
to do with your hobby, too. For
instance, Nathan Rose, he teaches busy
adults how to improve at chess. And
within a few months of working with us,
he was making a full-time income
coaching people in chess with a very
small audience as well. So, I think you
get the point. You do the job, then you
either film yourself doing the job or
you teach people how to do the job as
well. Or you have a problem that you
solved in the past and you teach other
people how to solve that problem. And if
you want to know exactly how I did that
myself and I taught all of these other
people how to do it, I'm having a
completely free live training this week.
You can click the link in the
description in the pin comment below to
attend it where I'll be revealing
exactly how I grew my brother's channel
as well as helped all these other people
grow their channel. The simple
step-by-step system how to get started
and I'll be giving away an AI that helps
you pick your niche if you don't have
one or if you already have one make it
10 times better and help you grow your
YouTube channel and your personal brand.
So, click the link in the description in
the pin comment below to check that out
and I look forward to seeing you there.
I'll also be answering any questions you
have before, during, and after the
presentation. All right, next one is the
Larry Bird special and that is the
garbage and recycling collector. Now, a
lot of people don't know, but Larry Bird
before he was a superstar in basketball
was a garbage man and he was proud of it
as well. He actually really enjoyed the
job. And a lot of people look down on
garbage men. And let's be honest, nobody
grows up dreaming about this one. And
that is exactly why it pays. And that's
also exactly why they'll take anyone.
With that being said, I just want to
pause a moment here to state the
obvious, which is thank god we have
garbage men, right? Thank god our
streets are not full of garbage. They
provide an incredibly valuable service
to society and nobody should look down
on them. With that being said, there's a
job posting from the city of Broken
Arrow, Oklahoma for a solid waste and
recycling helper and they list the
requirements as basic reading, writing,
and math. And it says no experience
required. So that's the whole list. You
can read the job posting, you're
qualified for the job, assuming you know
how to use the calculator on your phone.
And these are basically the people who
ride the truck, empty the bins, and haul
everything to the disposal facility
before most of us are even awake. Now,
you would think that nobody wants to
watch this job, but you would be wrong.
Local news stations run day in the life
segments following garbage collectors on
their routes. And the Edmonton Journal,
an actual newspaper, sent one of their
journalists to ride along as a garbage
collector for a day. And that video has
40,000 views.
>> Today, I am working on a garbage story.
No, really. I'm going to find out what
it's like a day in the life of a garbage
collector.
>> And there's a creator called Pao from
Tokyo who followed a Japanese garbage
collector named Giro through a full
shift. And that video, Day in the Life
of a Japanese Garbageman, pulled in 2.5
million views in just 3 months. This is
Giro, 33 years old, living by the ocean
in Japan's Chikasaki Kanagawa
Prefecture, and he's just waking up from
work.
>> And according to Tube Lab, that one
video made about $9,000 in ad revenue.
And by the way, catch what happened
there. Giro got paid to collect the
garbage and Pao got paid $9,000 to film
him doing it. And again, that's just
from AdSense alone. If he's monetizing
correctly, he can make far more money
than that from other ways. So, somebody
else's job made him $9,000. Now, imagine
being the person who does the job and
films it because then both of the checks
can come to you. Now, for the salary,
BLS says that collectors average about
$52,000 a year. And again, these numbers
are always way lower than the reality.
For instance, Fox News reported that
about a hundred New York City sanitation
workers saw their pay climb to around
$300,000 in a single year because
staffing shortages created an overtime
windfall. So that's $300,000 for
collecting garbage because nobody else
would show up. All right, next one is a
groundskeeper or related careers
basically. And these are the people that
basically maintain private and public
property. things like cutting grass,
trimming plants, planting flowers and
bushes, maintaining fences and other
structures, and keeping the grounds free
of litter. And they can work full-time
in the private or public sector. And
they don't require formal education. And
to fully understand what the
groundskeeper does, I went to YouTube
and found a video of a guy filming
himself doing his job as a groundkeeper
at Kent State. And that video got 27,000
views, meaning people are fascinated to
watch other people cut grass or mow
lawns. A typical day here at Kent, well,
you start out with just uh going around
and picking up trash.
>> And Sports Illustrated covered the job
as well on their channel. They showed
behind the scenes with a dedicated team
of grounds keepers who maintain a
top-notch golf course at the Oak Hill
Country Club in Rochester, New York, 17
days before the 105th PGA Championship.
And I mean, there are channels dedicated
to cutting grass on other people's
lawns, and they are racking up millions
of views doing it. So, just as an
example, this channel called SB Mowing
is getting 1.8 8 million views in just 7
days. And because of that, according to
Vid IQ, they're making $30.9,000
a month just from AdSense alone. And one
video really stuck out to me, and that
was where Spencer from SB Mowing helped
an elderly Witchah woman named Beth by
clearing her severely overgrown yard for
free to save her from a city fine.
And that viral video inspired a GoFundMe
campaign that raised nearly $1 million
to fund critical home accessibility
repairs and secure her long-term care.
That is the power of YouTube, guys.
Plus, he himself made a lot of money
from the video, too. So, he's helping
people and he's making money while doing
it. And that's what I always say. If you
make impact, the money will follow. Now,
according to Glass Door, groundskeepers
make about $48,000 a year. Typically,
they get about 6 to 11,000 in tips,
overtime, and bonuses. And you can move
into becoming something like a
landscaper. And landscaper 3es make
about 47 to $67,000 a year. Then, of
course, you can just start your own
business and make a heck of a lot more
than that. All right, last one is going
to be the toughest one, and that is an
oil filled rouseabout. Now, rustabouts
and floor hands are the entrylevel crew
on a drilling rig. You're going to clean
the equipment, organize the tools, move
supplies, and handle pipe. on long
shifts in bad weather way out in the
middle of nowhere. And the BLS
occupational handbook says it flat out.
No experience, no formal education
credential, and you are trained on the
job. Now, here's the honest reason why.
They are not paying for comfort. The
long hours and the remote locations
scare off almost every applicant. So,
the companies take anyone with a pulse
who is willing to show up. And the thing
that repels everybody else is the entire
opportunity. If you are tough enough to
do this and you want it bad enough, you
can make good money working for oil rigs
and they want people so badly that the
drilling companies are producing their
own recruitment videos now, right?
Precision Drilling made one called
Inside the Rollhand. And they were
following a floorhand named Brian on a
rig in Louisiana and Brian works 14 days
on and then gets a full 14 days off. Now
think about that schedule for a second.
Half of the year is days off and people
are genuinely curious about this world.
A company video from Savannah Energy
showing nothing but entry-level
floorhand tasks like organizing tools,
cleaning the rig, basic maintenance,
etc. And yes, even making coffee has
over 265,000 views. So, a quarter a
million people watch the video about the
most entry- level tasks on a rig. So,
the appetite for this world is real.
>> We don't really need two guys or three
guys on the floor. So, if there's
something needs to be done, I usually go
and I clean around.
>> And they specifically showed a woman
working on the rig. So, if you think you
can't do these jobs as a woman, you can.
And when I say that they hire anyone, I
pretty much mean everyone, right? They
are recruiting everybody that they can
get. And according to BLS, Rouseabouts
make about $49,200
a year. But there are lots of positions
that you can go into that pay
significantly higher. For instance,
drilling managers or tool pushers make
about $130 to $150,000 a year. Rig
managers make about $126,000 a year.
Drillers and crane operators make about
90 to $105,000 a year. Well testers make
about $102,000 a year. And even floor
hands and rough necks with overtime can
close over $100,000 a year. And like I
said before, a lot of the stuff that you
see online, you can actually make
significantly more than that for these
bluecollar type careers. And there's a
lot of opportunities to help other
people get into them or to teach people
about the subjects just like I showed
you so many different examples of. So,
if you want to know how people like my
brother and all those other people that
I showed you started successful YouTube
channels and successful personal brands
to advance their careers, to start side
hustle incomes, to make a second income,
and to even start full-time businesses
and quit their job from YouTube alone,
then go ahead and attend my live
training by clicking that link in the
description and the pin comment below.
And do not miss out on it because last
week when I did it, we completely ran
out of spots. So, if you check that link
and there's no spots left, then go ahead
and check it in the future because I
will automatically update that link to
whenever I'm doing the next live
training. With that being said, I know
99% of you are going to watch my
content, get a ton of value out of it.
You're going to download my free
resources, get a ton of value out of
those. You're going to attend my live
training and get a ton 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 I receive. At least
10 to 100 times more value. And I expect
nothing in return. With that being said,
there's going to be a few of you out
there, maybe 1%, 0.1% that want a
one-on-one mentorship experience, or you
want us to literally just do the work
for you of helping you grow your
personal brand. If that sounds like you,
go ahead and book a call by clicking the
second link in the description in the
pin comment below. And by doing this,
you are going to be applying to work
with us one on-one. Now, we are very
picky about who we work with. We only
accept about 18% of people to even take
a call. And that's because we want to
make sure that you are a good fit and
you're somebody who's going to get
results. But the types of people we
typically work with are going to be
professionals that have at least 10
years of experience or they're
overachievers. Basically, people that
have experience, expertise, knowledge,
and they want to give value to the world
by posting videos on YouTube and
building their personal brand. But we
also work with businesses, people that
want to get more views, get more leads,
and make more money using YouTube. We
also work with YouTubers who are getting
a lot of views, but they're struggling
with monetization. And we also work with
YouTubers who are crushing it, but they
want to crush it harder. And we work
with people who have large social media
followings on other platforms and they
want to bring that over to YouTube.
Basically, experts, even people that
have books or big email lists and they
want to bring their audience over to
YouTube because they know that YouTube
is the best. So, if that sounds like
you, go ahead, click that link to book a
call and we look forward to talking with
you. And if you want to check out
somebody who just joined our program
just a few months ago, they were
literally in the same position that
you're in right now. They joined our
program, now they're making over $10,000
a month and they were able to quit their
job and travel all over the world. Check
