5 Jobs Where Companies Fight Over YOU

Watch on YouTube

Video summary

The video highlights five specific careers where companies are aggressively competing for talent due to severe shortages, often offering salaries, bonuses, and paid training that far exceed industry norms. The first job discussed is a perfusionist, a critical role in open-heart surgery who manages the heart-lung machine while the surgeon operates; this niche field has so many open positions that staffing agencies list hundreds of jobs with annual salaries ranging from $180,000 to $275,000. The second category is industrial maintenance technicians, who keep factories and machinery running, a sector projected to need nearly four million new workers by 2033, creating a massive gap between available seats and qualified applicants. The third profession featured is truck driving, where major retailers like Walmart have become so desperate for drivers that they now operate their own free training academies to manufacture new employees rather than just recruiting them, with some earning up to $110,000 in their first year. The fourth example focuses on store managers at specific chains such as Bies and In-N-Out, which openly advertise six-figure salaries for management roles, effectively engaging in a public bidding war where the company pays a premium to secure top talent. Finally, the video points to ship builders for nuclear aircraft carriers and railroad crews, noting that these industries often run their own colleges or paid apprenticeship programs dating back over a century to train workers from scratch because they cannot find enough experienced candidates. Beyond listing these high-paying roles, the speaker emphasizes a strategic approach to career advancement by leveraging content creation to amplify job opportunities. The core argument is that when an employer faces a shortage, they are not only willing to pay more but may also actively encourage individuals to create content about their profession to attract new applicants. This creates a unique opportunity where one can earn a high salary doing the trade while simultaneously generating additional income by teaching others how to enter the field or succeed within it. The speaker shares success stories of individuals who transitioned from traditional trades or healthcare backgrounds to full-time YouTube creators, proving that combining a high-demand career with digital content creation can lead to financial freedom and personal brand growth. Ultimately, the video concludes that the best strategy for job seekers is to stop chasing saturated markets and instead identify industries where supply cannot meet demand. By targeting these specific shortages—whether in healthcare, manufacturing, logistics, or specialized trades—individuals can secure positions with minimal competition and significant compensation packages. The speaker encourages viewers to explore niche careers they might not have considered before, noting that even those without traditional degrees or who are restarting their careers at an older age can find a seat at the table. The overarching message is one of empowerment through information: knowing where the market gaps exist allows individuals to position themselves for success, either by securing a lucrative job directly or by building a business around helping others access these same opportunities.

In this video, I'm walking you through five jobs where companies fight over you, where the shortage is so bad that employers bid, bonus, and even pay your training bill to get you in the seat. And I'll show you exactly what every one of them pays with examples. Plus, there's going to be a bunch of different options. So, I guarantee you there's going to be a job in this video that's going to be a good fit for you. Now, quick context on why I'm the one telling you this. I went $300,000 in student loan debt to become a pharmacist before realizing that I'd picked a seat that nobody fights for. So, I made the YouTube channel that I wish I had when I was first picking my career. Now, rebuilding my career turned into a resource that's reached millions of people and more than 1,000 of them have made their own switch with my help documented. And we have our pulse on the market. So, when I tell you where the opportunities are, it's not just us guessing. We know. So, stop chasing job listings and start finding shortages. Cuz a company that can't hire doesn't screen applicants. It recruits them, pays them to learn, and pays a premium on top of it. So, whether you're boxed into a dead end, fresh off a layoff, no degree on your wall, restarting at 45, each one of those has a seat on this list. And for every job, you'll see the actual receipts and the pay sourced from the BLS, which is the Bureau of Labor Statistics, as well as other trustworthy sources such as Glass Door. And hold your judgment for the last one because it's the job that everyone underestimates and companies quietly fight the hardest for. Now, if you appreciate me making this type of content and you want me to make more of it in the future, then let me know by gently cheersing that like button and let's jump into it right now. Okay, so the first one on the list is probably a job that most of you have never heard of, and that is a profusionist. So during open heart surgery, the surgeon stops your heart and the profusionist is the person running machine that is your heart and lungs while that happens. So you are alive because this person is really good at their job. And as you can see on the screen, Specialty Care, who's a staffing company whose whole business is putting profusionists in operating rooms, has 146 open jobs listed right now. And look at one of them, a profusionist seat in California, listed at $180 to $275,000 a year. And that's not some website's estimate. That is the range that the employer provided. So the company typed those numbers themselves. So they badly need people who have the skill set. And you can see that many of these jobs have been posted for 20 days or even 30 days plus. And there's 146 of them listed just here. And there's even roles for profusion assistants that make 83 to $125,000 a year. So think about this like musical chairs in reverse. 146 chairs, almost no players, and the chairs are fighting over you. Whereas most careers out there, there's about five seats and 100 people trying to get into one of them. So, this is what I always recommend to do on my channel is to simply go where the opportunity is. Supply and demand is undefeated. If there is a massive amount of demand for a particular job and there's not enough supply, it's going to be significantly easier for you to get into it. And by the way, if you're interested in checking this out, there's YouTube channels that talk all about this. And notice who's making the videos. Northwell, a major hospital system. And Northwell produced its own video showing what profusionists do. Now, here's a pro tip, guys. If you see companies producing videos about particular careers, there is one and only one reason that they're doing that, and that is because they are having a lot of trouble finding people to get into those careers. So, when the employer starts making content about the job, that's a really good sign. And a channel called New Nurse Guide Book even explained that profusionist is a hidden gem in healthcare. Not a lot of people know that this job exists, and that's the reason why companies fight over profusionists. Now, one thing that I'll just mention is I'm only going to bring up one healthcare related career in this video cuz I want to give you a really good variety. With that being said, there's probably thousands of these very random, very niche healthcare related careers out there. Now, I came from a healthcare background myself, of course. I'm a pharmacist, and so I do like showcasing a lot of these careers cuz there is a lot of opportunity here. And Profusionist is definitely one of those hidden gems. Now, there's a really good website called explorehealthcareers.org that lists a lot of these random healthcare re-related careers, and I highly recommend checking it out and seeing if Profusionist or maybe one that's similar to it would be your cup of tea. But YouTube's also a really good place to do research on this as well. So, another video to show you how desperate hospitals are about profusionists, Peter Monk Cardiac Center made a video about a day in the life of a profusionist. So, they are basically promoting this job so that you apply to their hospital. Now, according to Job Ted, profusionists make between 98 and $178,000 a year. And to become a profusionist, you must complete four basic requirements. You must earn a bachelor's degree, complete specific science prerequisites, graduate from an accredited profusion program, and pass a national board certification exam. So, it's not for everyone, and that's why hospitals are fighting over you. With that being said, if you become a profusionist assistant, that can be a lot easier to get into. Now, the requirements to get into this are going to change depending on where you're from, the hospital that you work at, etc. But for a lot of these random healthcare related careers, the hospitals will actually train you in many cases if you're interested in getting into one of the careers because they're that desperate for people who have the skills. All right, YouTube just got 10 times easier and nobody is talking about it. You used to need an entire film crew. And it used to be a full-time job for you to just do any work at all on YouTube, but now you can get work done 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 and comment below. I look forward to seeing you there. All right. Next is an industrial maintenance technician, also referred to as an industrial maintenance tech. And this one's personal because the trades are literally my brother's world. First, what even is this job? Well, these are basically the people who keep every machine in and every factory alive. So, when the line stops, they're the ones who get it moving again. Now, here's why companies are fighting over you straight from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. There are 54,200 of these seats that are opening up every single year and the field is growing by 13%. Much faster than the average job. To put that in perspective, the average job typically grows at about 4% per year. And it's about to get worse for them, but better for you. Deote and the manufacturing institute say that US manufacturing could need up to 3.8 8 million new workers by 2033. So every reshorted factory, every AI data center built out, somebody has to keep the machines alive. And companies aren't posting these jobs and waiting anymore. They are fighting over anyone who can hold a wrench and read a schematic. And think about this like a bucket with a 54,200 person hole in the bottom while they pour 3.8 million new jobs in the top. That's the fight and you are what they're fighting over. Now, there's a channel called The Maintenance Technician and there's a video called What to Expect as an Industrial Maintenance Technician that got over 85,000 views. And in this video, he said that this job is pretty demanding to your body and this is one of the reasons why less and less people are applying to this type of job. And I would know because this is what happened to my brother Zach as well. One time when we were on vacation together, he pulled me aside and he said, "Bro, the trades are taking a toll on my body, but I still want to make money." And just for context, Zach is in his 50s and he has been in the trades for almost 30 years now. And when you stay that long on a physically demanding job, and it's only a matter of time before your body will tell you it's time to stop. And my brother thought that I would tell him to get an online job or to get some type of certificate or some sort of cushy office job, maybe like a government job for instance. But I told him, "No, just do YouTube." And he gave me every excuse in the book that he could think of. I'm too old for YouTube. It's for dancing teens. I don't even know how to set up a camera. I haven't recorded a single video in my life. I'm not tech-savvy. I'm in my 50s. No one wants to listen to a 50-year-old. Isn't YouTube for 24 year olds with ring lights? Right? But I told him, "Just trust me, bro. Just do exactly what I tell you to do and you will get results." And he did trust me. And he followed exactly what I said. and he posted his very first video with my system that I've refined over the years and he blew up and got over 800,000 views. And 29 days after posting that first video, he had a $214 day. And that's a $78,000 year run rate. So he went from zero to a full-time income in less than one month. And to end his first year on YouTube, he just made $18,000 in a single month. So the companies fight over the job and the internet fights over the content about the job. And this is a heck of a lot more efficient than the modern education system where they're teaching you to get a gender studies degree and go into a field where there's absolutely no careers whatsoever. So, same pattern here, guys. Said plainly this time, you do the job and then you make videos about doing the job and the shortage pays you once, but the attention can pay you again. And it's not just the trades. This works for any career. Take Nicole. She runs GRC for mere mortals and she's helping people get into governance, risk, and compliance careers. This is a very niche type of cyber security career that, if I'm being honest, is relatively boring. And when we started working together, she had 85 subscribers and she was about to quit. But she also implemented my system just like Zach did. And she got to over $80,000 in a single month. Plus, she helped dozens of people get into cyber security careers. And it's not just landing the job. It could be education for landing the job. Clifford at College Hack, for instance, helps people get through college faster, smarter, and cheaper. And he was able to grow his channel that he made to multiple six figures a year. And it doesn't have to be anything about career stuff either. Could just be making money in general. Just like Sean, who talks about self-publishing books on Amazon. When he first started working with us, he was stuck making about $30,000 a month for a very long time. And we helped him scale his YouTube channel to over $500,000 in a single month. We've also helped a bunch of people that have dead YouTube channels or YouTubers that are getting a lot of views, but they're struggling with monetization. But mostly, we just help people who are complete beginners share what they already know by starting a YouTube channel just like I did. And they're not special. They're just using the same playbook that I'm giving you today, which is figure out how to make money doing something, whether it's a career or a side hustle or investing or honestly just figure out how to do anything that other people want to do and then teach other people how to do it on YouTube. And so you make money doing the thing in the first place and then you can make a lot of extra money teaching other people how to do it too. And one more thing about these numbers, whatever the public estimator tools say any of these channels earn, understand the public number is the floor. Sponsors, courses, deals sit on top. So yes, companies are fighting over these jobs with real money. And in some cases, the companies will actually pay you if you make content about the job to help fill those positions. But there's arguably more money being the person who talks about them, right? So whether that's helping people get in, do the job better, get educated for it, or teach the tools that you already know, just like Steven for instance, who taught a very rare type of CAD software that only engineers in his very specific career use. And then he made a course on that. And in a couple months, he made over $12,000. Plus, he started getting invited by big Fortune 500 companies to train their people to use the software as well. And this works whether you want to get a better job, a bigger network, a side income, or a full-time income as well. Now, if you want to see exactly how Zach and the others did this step by step, I'm running a free live training this week and it is completely free. No strings attached. Links in the description in the pin comment below should be the first link down there. Show up and I'll walk you through the exact playbook that you just watched them run. Also give you the niche validator pro, our in-house AI trained on a thousand hours of our coaching. and it's going to help you pick your niche, which is the exact decision that most people get stuck on, plus a step-by-step guide to launching your personal brand on YouTube. And I'll answer your questions live at the end. Now, you only get the AI if you actually join live. But even if you can't make this one, click on the link anyways. You'll be the first one to know about the workshops that we run in the future. Plus, I'll be answering questions before, during, and after. So, I look forward to seeing you there. Click that first link in the description, the pin comment below. And now, back to your regularly scheduled programming. All right, guys. Next one is going to be a truck driver. and watch how far a company will go when it can't win the fight with money alone. Because remember, these companies are fighting over you, but only if you're getting into these particular positions. So, Walmart got so desperate for drivers that they stopped recruiting them and they started manufacturing them. They built their own free truck driving school, the private fleet development program, which is 12 weeks. Walmart pays for everything and you walk out with a commercial license and a job. And CBS reported that those drivers can earn up to $110,000 in their first year. So, think about it like this. When they can't buy you, they build you an academy to train you how to get into the job. That is a flashing sign telling you that there is a massive amount of opportunity here. Now, Walmart stopped shopping for drivers and they planted a farm system and the seat in it is free. So, how bad do people want this seat? Well, let me show you through one guy. There's a channel called 20 plus trucking and the guy who runs it is Donald Smith and he's been driving for Walmart for 19 years and he shows people what the job really pays and what the weeks really look like. He also shows actual payubs on camera and his video, how to become a Walmart truck driver, what qualifies you, is sitting at 55,000 views, roughly 50 times what his channel normally does because people are hunting for this exact seat. And his payub reveals, well, one is literally titled pay and activity. How much do I really make in one year? Payub reveal. And his biggest pay video did 129,000 views, 221 times his channel average. And get this, people who decide to apply apply through his referral link. So, the company Fighting for Drivers is basically paying him to exist online. Oh, and if driving is not your thing, well, Walmart's fighting on associates as well. They'll pay 100% of college tuition and books for their people, part-timers included. The workers stop paying for things. All right, the next one is going to be a store manager, but only for certain types of stores. So, specifically, we're going to be talking about Bies, but I'll talk about a few others as well. So, the next job is store manager, and this one is in an open bidding war with the offers posted in the public. So, bidder number one is BIES. Yes, the gas station. So, they print their offers right on their career page and they say it's $125,000 a year to run their car wash and store managers make even more. And a company only posts numbers like that in public when it's trying to outbid everyone else on the block. And the internet noticed. So, this is a channel called Old Money Luxury, and they do documentaries on wealthy family businesses. And they released a 22-minute deep dive on BIES, and it got 213,000 views on a documentary about a gas station. And the pay is part of the story that they tell. Starting wages at double the federal minimum. General managers past $225,000. Bidder number two is in and out. Store managers at $160,000 a year. That's not a rumor. That's the company's confirmed number themselves. So think about it like a housing market bidding war. Except the house is you and the buyers keep overpaying on purpose. And again, people don't just eat at these companies, they study them. Michael Girdley, an investor who breaks down businesses, posted why In-N-Out Burger is impossible to compete with. And that video has already passed 277,000 views. And CBS ran a whole new segment on a six-figure burger salary. Oh, and for the record, I hold a doctorate and these managers outearned my pharmacist salary. Right. I had to spend $300,000 in student loan debt to get a pharmacist degree. All right. A doctor to pharmacy. Plus, I spent years of my life getting it, and these managers are out earning me. So, kudos to them. All right. Next one is going to be a ship builder. And this is for the company that builds nuclear aircraft carriers. Now, by the way, as you can see, this isn't only just for guys. You can see that women can do this as well. And Huntington runs Newport News Ship Building, and their fight for workers is so old that they built an entire college for it. It's called the Apprentice School. It's been running since 1919, over a 100 years. And it calls itself the number one trade school in America on its own homepage. Now, I don't know if they're the number one trade school in America, but what they're doing is pretty cool. And they don't recruit ship builders, they grow them. And the deal is almost hard to believe. no tuition, a paycheck from day one, benefits, and college credit while you learn a trade. So, think about it like a full ride athletic scholarship, except instead of playing on Saturdays, you build aircraft carriers and the scholarships pay you. And this is a real school and it even has varsity sports, right? So, their baseball team, the Builders, has won three national titles. So, a trade school with championship banners. So, these are basically the people who cut, weld, and fit the steel that becomes aircraft carriers while the school pays them and trains them as well. And you already know the pattern by now, so watch it work in this world, too. There's a channel called Western Welding Academy, and it's an actual welding school with 572,000 subscribers, and they recruit students by showing what welders really earn. So, their video, Should You Be a Welder, is sitting about 595,000 views. So, a welding school outdrawing TV shows, right? Getting more views than TV shows do. So, when the fight for workers, is this real? Even the schools run the attention playbook. Now again, if you want to learn how to run the attention playbook yourself and get into a job and then also get paid to make content about the job, then attend the live training this week. Click that first link in the description in the pin comment below. All right, next one is going to be railroad crew. And as you can see, you don't have to be a guy to do this. There's lots of women doing this as well. And Union Specific is another company that has to fight for workers. And they do that by taking people with zero railroad experience and running them through its own 14-week paid training program. So, you start as a brakesman or a switchman and they train you up and the path runs to conductor and then locomotive engineer and people are hunting for this seat. And Union Pacific's own recruiting video on a channel with barely a few thousand subscribers is quietly sitting at 326,000 views. So, when a corporate recruiting video does those numbers, that is not marketing. That is demand. Now, they don't publish a salary on that page, so I won't invent one. But the demand tells the story. So, think about it like a help wanted sign going viral. A now hiring poster that people stop to take pictures of and it's pointed at you. And here's the part that I want you to notice. A brand new hireer named Dom started filming his first week of Union Pacific training a few months ago and barely anyone is documenting this job yet and that lane is wide open. So a fought over job with almost no competition for the story. These are basically the people building and driving the trains that move America's freight. So it is very important. So job first, story second, same playbook. Now according to BLS, railroad workers typically make about $75,000 a year. With that being said, I've said this many times on the channel, with trade related careers, typically BLS is going to underestimate how much money they actually make for a variety of different reasons. So, if you want to see exactly how I did this with Zach and others that you met today, come to that free live training this week. I'm going to be showing you a bunch of other people that did this as well. For instance, nurse Jen was in a niche tellaalth related nursing career and she had a really good career over 33 years. She was 60 years old and she joined my life training and she started her YouTube channel and within a few months she was able to make a full-time income. Her first month monetized, she made $6,000, then $8,000 her next month and then $10,000 the third month. And she did it running this exact same playbook. So if you want to know exactly how Nurse Jen did it, go ahead and click that first link in the description, the pin comment below to check it out. Also, I'll be handing you the Niche Vidator Pro, which is going to help you pick your niche, right? Because you don't just necessarily have to go into a career related niche. A lot of people that join our program do, but you could just pick something that you're good at or something that you want to get good at and make that your YouTube channel. For instance, Nathan Rose started a chess channel and was able to make it to a full-time income with about 3,000 subscribers. Literally just teaching other people his own passion. Now, this is only done with the exact system that I recommend. 99% of ways of doing YouTube will not get you these results. So, I highly recommend clicking that first link in the description, the pin comment below to check out the live training, and I look forward to seeing you there. So, there's a secret side of my business that most of you have no idea exists. And I actually have a coaching program on personal branding and growing on YouTube and making money on YouTube. This is good for complete beginners, maybe even people who just want to get a job by growing their personal brand, as well as business owners all the way up to people who are very advanced on YouTube. And they get to work directly with myself and my team to help them reach their goals. Now, we are opening up three to five spots. And this is pretty rare. We usually don't have these open. We usually only limit them to a select amount of people as well, but we're opening up three to five spots. and you can check those down in the description and the pinned comment below. And in this program, you will get to work directly with myself and other people who are highly successful on YouTube. Everyone in our program has 100k plus subscriber plaques. Just as an example, Shawn was able to go all the way from being stuck, not making very much money on his channel to making over $500,000 in a single month. Now, that's an example of one of my more advanced students, but there are lots of examples of people starting out from scratch, and they got to 5K a month or 10K a month, etc. So, check that out down in the description and the pin comment below, and I look forward to working with you and see if you're a good fit to work together. With that being said, check out this video right here to see exactly how I helped my brother Zach go from zero to full-time income in less than one month.
