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.
