Top 5 High-Paying Jobs That Nobody Wants

Watch on YouTube

Video summary

The video introduces five high-paying careers that suffer from severe labor shortages because they are perceived as undesirable or difficult, often offering salaries exceeding $100,000 annually. The first job highlighted is the court reporter, a role that requires typing at 225 words per minute to create an official legal record; without this human input, appeals cannot proceed. Despite advancements in AI transcription technology, federal and state courts still mandate human reporters for felony and juvenile trials, leading to vacancies that have persisted for over a year in some areas. Employers in California are offering signing bonuses up to $50,000 and starting salaries around $125,000 to attract candidates, as the number of licensed professionals has dropped significantly while demand remains critical. The second position discussed is the 9/11 dispatcher, a role responsible for answering emergency calls in high-stress environments. While national averages might suggest lower pay, dispatchers in wealthy Bay Area counties earn between $100,000 and $150,000 due to overtime and hazardous conditions, with vacancy rates hovering around 25%. The job requires resilience against mental health challenges like PTSD but offers benefits such as pensions and paid training. Similarly, the video features crop dusters and agricultural pilots who fly low over fields to spray crops; these positions pay $150,000 or more on a per-acre basis, though they are seasonal and require experienced pilots that new graduates often cannot find. The fourth career is the merchant mariner, specifically those working for the Navy's Military Sealift Command as civilian sailors transporting fuel and ammunition. The Navy currently faces a shortage of 800 to 1,000 crew members daily because the pay and conditions are not competitive enough to attract new recruits, despite offering base salaries that can reach $267,000 for chief engineers when overtime is included. These roles involve long periods at sea but provide financial stability and a unique lifestyle free from typical commuting costs. The final category covers any individual with specialized knowledge who can teach others online, effectively creating a second income stream by monetizing their existing expertise through YouTube or other platforms. The overarching conclusion of the video is that these high-paying jobs are available because supply does not meet demand, and individuals can leverage their current skills or experiences to enter these fields or create new revenue streams. The speaker emphasizes that one does not need to start from scratch but rather point a camera at what they already know, whether it is navigating the healthcare system, operating heavy machinery, or managing specific health conditions. By teaching others through content creation, people can achieve financial freedom without needing traditional degrees, turning their unique experiences into valuable educational resources for millions of viewers.

These are five jobs that pay over $100,000 a year that nobody wants. And I'd put money on at least one of them being a fit for you. Because the reason nobody wants them has nothing to do with whether you could do them or not. One of them pays $133,000 on your first day. One of them you can start with a high school diploma and all of them will be interesting. See, I spent years and a small fortune becoming a pharmacist doing a job that I hated. And so I created the career channel that I wish I had. And since then, I've spent almost 10 years helping other people get into the right job. And I have over a thousand verified testimonials of people that I've helped do this. A nurse with 33 years on the floor who now clears over 10,000 a month. My own brother who's 50 and almost 30 years in the job that most people wouldn't touch and he made $18,000 in a single month. And countless amounts of other people. So I'm not guessing about what a job that nobody wants can turn into because I've watched it. Now, here's the mistake that I watch smart people make every week. They apply where everybody else applies, to the same handful of jobs, and they lose to 400 other people for a paycheck that barely moved in 10 years. So, every job in this video is the opposite. The pay is high because the line is short. [snorts] Supply and demand is in your favor. So, nobody's doing you a favor here because they printed that number because they had to. One of them has had the posting up for 345 days. One of them, a company, is offering a $75,000 signing bonus and still can't fill it. So, if your last raise was 3% or if you've got skills and nobody's calling back or if you take a hard job over a dead one, there's going to be a paycheck in here that's been waiting on somebody exactly like you. And there's going to be real postings with real dates and real people doing these sources on the screen. And I found every single one of these myself. And the one with the $75,000 bonus is near the end. Now, 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. And let's jump into it right now. Okay. So, the first one is going to be a court reporter. And I want you to look at this thing. That's a cotype. 22 keys. And the design goes back to the 1800s. and the person behind it types every word said in a courtroom at 225 words a minute. And if nobody's typing, there is no record. And if there's no record, there's no appeal. Now, California's own courts published this in July. Between April 2023 and March of this year, over 3 million hearings happened with nobody in that chair. 71% of them with no record. And the state says that it needs 458 more of these people. And last year, it issued only 176 new licenses total. So 3 million hearings with nobody writing it down. That's not a shortage. That is an emergency. So, look at what San Francisco is paying. So, a court reporter, step one, $133,000 a year. Step four, $149,000 a year plus a $30,000 signing bonus. And the postings filing deadline says one word, continuous. That's government for we stop pretending that this one closes. That means they're basically hiring all the time. And Los Angeles starts you at $125,000 a year and offered up to a $50,000 signon bonus. Mterrey's recruiting page has a priority date printed on it, June 11th, 2023. And it's still up. That's 1,188 days. And I'm from Monterey myself. But you might be thinking, "All right, Chang, but AI transcribes everything now. So that job must be dead." Well, then why did California Supreme Court have to rule on it last month? They said a recording is better than no record because 3 million hearings had no record and the law still says felony trials in juvenile courts get a human in the chair. So the machine didn't kill this job, it made the humans who can do it rare. In certain markets there's not that need, but in other markets there's a tremendous need. So if you look at federal reporters, state reporters that are working in the state judicial system or the federal judicial system, they are dying for members and those jobs pay six figures right out of the gate. >> Now here's the real catch. It's hard. Two to three years of school and there are eight schools left in the whole state and there were 17 in 2010 and the average court reporter is 55 years old and half of them can retire tomorrow. Now not all of them require a degree. Many of them you can just do a high school diploma and the license. And the three years of training is specific to California. That's something that you'll need to check in whatever state you live. Now, LA starts you at $25 an hour as an intern while you're still in school training. So, even if you do the 3 years of training, you're still going to get paid while you do it. Plus, they'll pay you $15,000 towards the machine and the loans. And this is exactly why one of our community members gets paid for a skill that almost nobody has anymore. Steven nearly 40 years in fabrication and manufacturing engineering and a CAD skill called class A surfacing that aerospace and car companies need and almost nobody teaches. And this was a skill that he got really good at just by simply spending thousands of hours doing his job and he was getting paid really good money to do that. But then he put it on camera. Then we tightened the titles and thumbnails and pointed the traffic at the course that he already had. Plus a meta engineer reached out to him and bought his course which if you didn't know meta engineers are the top tier engineers in the world. and he started getting invites from Fortune50 companies to do corporate training sessions because of his YouTube channel. In corporate training sessions, you typically get paid at least $1500 a day. So rare skill, small audience, and real money. Now, hold that thought because my brother built a whole second paycheck on a job that nobody wanted. And I'll show you that in about 2 minutes. Now, according to Glass Door, a court reporter makes between 46 and $73,000 a year. And that's the one time I'll tell you that Glass Door is wrong because the salary schedules are public. 133,000 in San Francisco, 125,000 in LA, and 105,000 in Contra Costa. So, those aren't estimates, those are the paychecks. 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 full-time 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 start YouTube stepby step for beginners. So, click the link in the description in 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 and I look forward to seeing you there. All right, next one is a 9/11 dispatcher. This is the voice that picks up when you call the worst number in your life. Now, San Francisco public safety communications dispatchers pay $115,000 to $147,000 a year. And the minimum qualifications are a high school diploma and two years in any job where you dealt with the public. Retail counts and that's it. Santa Clara County pays entry level $101,000 a year. Oakland 107 to 118,000. Now, you might be thinking that can't be right for a job with no degree. Well, it's Bay Area money. And I'll say that out loud. Nationally, the median is $53,000. But in those three counties, that's the printed salary, and that doesn't even count overtime. That's just the base. And these types of jobs are known for having a lot of overtime opportunities. So, why is it open? Well, this investigation came out 3 days ago. The average vacancy rate in American 9/11 centers is about 25%. One in four chairs are empty and this line. But what's the catch? Well, dispatchers have higher rates of anxiety, depression, PTSD, and suicidal ideiation than even police or firefighters. So, it is a tough job and you got to have thick skin. But Oakland is budgeted for 78 dispatchers, but it only has 66. Now, I'm using California as an example just because they have really good public records. But these types of jobs are open all over the country. And so, yeah, because they're understaffed, overtime is covering the equivalent of 27 jobs and people are averaging 14 to 20 hours of overtime a week. >> There's three of us there. We also have a overtime list, a force in list. So if I call down the list and nobody answers, it ends up getting split between the three of us. So now that 12-hour shift turns into a 16-hour shift. That's called a forend. You don't volunteer for the double, they tell you. But you might be thinking, "All right, Shane, I can't listen to people's worst day for a living." And that's fair. Like I said, you have to have thick skin. But here's what nobody tells you about the other side of it. Eight weeks of paid academy, about 32 weeks on the floor with somebody sitting next to you, a typing test, a panel interview, a polygraph, no degree, no debt, and you're a county employee with a pension. Whether you're 22 or 52. Now, in April 1912, the wireless operator on the Titanic stayed at his key, sending the distress call until the power died. He didn't make it off. The 700 some people who did lived because one guy wouldn't leave the chair. That's this job. And 114 years later, the chair pays $115,000 a year. and one in four of them is empty. This is exactly why one of our community members got out of a job like this and got paid more. Jen spent 33 years as a nurse and she worked nights, holidays, and weekends. Now, she didn't work as a dispatcher. She worked in the medical field specifically, but a lot of the time it was in response to emergencies. And at 60, she never made a video in her life, but she started teaching seniors how to survive the health care system, which was common sense to her, but it's not common sense to other people. The reason it was common sense to her is because she spent thousands of hours with it. And these are the things that she explained to patients a thousand times. But she just did the same exact thing that she was doing on a day-to-day basis, but she just gave that same information in front of a camera and then blasted it out to literally millions of people. The first month that she was monetized, she made $6,000, then 8,000, then over $10,000 a month. Plus, she was making money from affiliate marketing as well as sponsorships on top of it. And she was able to quit her tellahalth nursing job. And now she's living her dream life traveling all over the country in a camper van. So yeah, we're really happy that we were able to help her do this. And if you want to know exactly how we helped her do this, we are having a live training this week, which I'll put in the description and the pin comment below. Go ahead and click down there to check that out. Now, according to Glass Door, a 9/11 dispatcher makes between 50 and $76,000 a year nationally. In San Francisco, the printed number is $15,000. So, same job, but different county. Oh, by the way, remember my brother Zach? He's 50. He spent almost 30 years in the trades, mostly HVAC addicts in July, crawl spaces in January. It's the definition of a job that nobody wants. and his body started making decisions for him. And on a family vacation, he pulled me aside and asked how he could keep making money without breaking himself. And he thought that I was going to say remote work or some sort of online certification or some sort of cushy government office job. But I said, "Point a camera at what you already know." And he gave me every excuse in the book. Now, he's 50, not very techsavvy, could barely set up a camera, could barely use his computer sometimes. And he thought that YouTube was for teenagers doing pranks. But he listened to me and he did it anyways. And his very first video blew up. Got over 800,000 views. And 29 days after he uploaded it, he made $214 in a single day, which is a $78,000 year run rate. So, we went from zero to a full-time income in less than one month. And he finished his first year with an $18,000 month. So, here's the pattern that I want you to hold on to. Every job on this list has two paychecks. Doing the actual job and then filming what you learn doing the job and teaching other people about it. And it's not just the hard jobs on the list. Jen did it with nursing. Zach did it with HVAC. And it's not just people with a trade. It's anyone with experience in anything, right? It doesn't even have to be jobreated. We have lots of people that we've helped when it comes to fitness or relationships or spirituality or teaching what your hobby is. For instance, we have people that teach pool, tennis, as well as chess. Anything that you've already gotten good at, you can teach other people for a living. And the easiest way to do it is to simply record your knowledge that you already know. And that's exactly what we're going to be teaching you how to do in the live training we're doing this week. So, click that first link in the description and the pin comment below. This is a one-time live training and we're going to run out of seats. Every time we do one of these, we run out of seats. So, make sure you secure your seat by clicking that first link in the description, the pen comment below. And if you're watching this in the future, still click that because it'll automatically put you on a wait list to tell you whenever we have the next live training. Now, next one is a crop duster or an a pilot. And this is the plane flying a few feet over the cornfield at 150 mph. And this is the industry's own newsletter from February of 2026. They said that 2025 was the safest year in the history of the profession. 43 accidents, four pilots killed. And that's the good year. the year before 54 accidents and there are about 3,500 of these pilots in the entire country and the average one is in his 50s. Now for the money, $150,000 a year or more flying on top of turborop a planes and the best ones make 200 to 250,000 and the industry's own survey and they typically don't work full-time and you're also paid per acre. So the pilot takes roughly a fifth to a quarter of what the airplane grosses. There's a 4-month season and you're home by Labor Day. So you could potentially make six figures only working four months out of the year. Now, you might be thinking, then why isn't every 22-year-old with the pilot's license doing this? Well, read the ad. Long-term A2 802 pilot wanted. This was posted February 10th, and it's been up for 213 days. And the last line, no new lowtime agriculture pilots. They can't find an experienced one, and they won't take a green one. But let's talk about how you can get an apprenticeship so that you can get experience. Two or three seasons of loading trucks and mixing chemicals before anybody hands you an airplane. You can make 13,000 the first year, and again, this is just four months out of the year. than 120,000 plus for four out of the 10 guys who stayed. >> For myself, my first year spraying, I made just over $13,000 and just over 39% of full-time pilots made over 120,000 plus. So, nobody's hiding that from you, right? It's the price of admission to the emptiest room in aviation. And this is exactly why one of our community members guides fewer trips now and makes more. Don, he's a mountaineering guide and a hunting guide. It's the kind of job where a bad day is a really bad day. and him and Emily run a channel called On the Scout, and they were struggling on YouTube, spinning their wheels. But with six months with us, they got to 100,000 subscribers, and they're making a full-time income from their channel now. And Don scaled back his hours as a guide. So, same mountain, but fewer days on it. Now, there's no glass door page for this one, but the industry's own survey is the number. 41% of pilots make over $100,000, and if you fly turbo props, you make over 150,000. And again, this is just 4 months out of the year. All right, next one is going to be a merchant mariner, also known as a military seal lift command. So specifically, this is a civilian sailor for the Navy's military seal lift command. So you're not in the military, you're a federal employee on the ship that carries the Navy's fuel and ammunition. And in November of 2024, the Navy announced that it was pulling 17 supply ships out of service. Not broken, it just could not find enough people to crew them. So the admiral's exact words were, "We are just not competitive." 800 to a,000 sailors short every day. So look at what they're paying now. Able Seaman, that's a deckand, $64,000 a year. Average take-home with overtime, their number on their own page is $119,000. Third, assistant engineer, $28,000 a year. Chief engineer, $23,000 to $267,000 base. And the posting reads, announcement opens continuously since October of 2025. So that's 345 days since it was posted. Now, you might be thinking, a deckhand does not make $119,000. Not in 40 hours he doesn't. That's base pay plus overtime plus premiums. Now, typically you're going to be spending four months at sea. And it used to be four months on, one off, but they just changed it to four months on, two off because people kept quitting. And there's no rent, no commute, no grocery bill for a third of the year, and no Tuesday nights at home either. So, it's a hell of a trade-off, but that's why it pays so well. According to Animal Sobeck, in the press release or press conference he gave, he is 800 to a,000 mariners short. MSC and the and I'll tell you this, not just MSSE, but the industry is in need of able-bodied semen. Okay, bottom line, there's a shortage everywhere. >> So, the path in is you do need to be a US citizen. You have to be at least 18. You have to have a passport and a TWWIC card and a Coastg Guard merchant mariner credential as well as a physical. So, it's actually not that hard to get into. An entry level needs zero sea time. An MSSE opens those jobs in waves and the seafares union runs a tuitionfree apprenticeship. 16 weeks of school, a paid trip, and you're a working sailor. And MSC even cut the sea time to make able seaman from 540 days to 180 because they were desperate to find people. Now, you guys know I love history, and this one has some very interesting history. So, in World War II, the merchant marine had a higher death rate than any branch of the service, 1 in 26. And the ships carrying the fuel got torpedoed first, and nobody gave them a parade. 80 years later, the Navy can't crew 17 of them. And this is exactly why one of our community members finally got paid for 40 years of showing up. Rick, he retired from the military after 40 years. And his channel is called Navy Viking. And he didn't want a career. He wanted $2,000 a month to fund his travel. And he started making videos about the thing that he does in his garage, which is 3D printing. Now, this is a very small niche, but he was spinning his wheels and he wasn't getting any results. But after working with us, he got 18 and 24,000 views, and his channel is now monetized. So, 40 years of discipline, and he finally pointed it at a camera. Now, according to glass door, a merchant mariner makes between 96 and $180,000 a year. And for once, the government beats it. And MSC's own average for an able seaman is $119,000. And the last job that nobody wants is teaching boring stuff while you're on camera. And this is what I've taught thousands of people to do at this point. Just take what you already know. A lot of the time it's stuff that you've done in your career or stuff that you just learned throughout your life or problems that you solved in your life. Even for instance, guy has tenitus. He had constant ringing in the ears and he was able to make a full-time income just teaching other people with tenitus how to manage their symptoms better. And we all know that the current job system, the economy, and the education system is broken. But this is alternative education. We're going back to our roots and we're basically doing apprenticeships, but apprenticeships with leverage because you're able to teach what you know to millions of people and get paid to do it. And there's lots of channels that we have, for instance, that literally just teach their own career. Nicole made it to $80,000 in a month literally teaching people how to get into governance, risk, and compliance or GRC, which is a very boring type of cyber security career. Josh made it to $180,000 a month teaching people how to get into cyber security and IT careers. And it's not just the big outliers. Richard made it to $12,000 in a single month teaching people the best certifications or online MBA programs to go into in order to make more money or get a raise or get a better job. Dr. Clifford Stewie makes multiple six figures a year teaching people how to graduate from college faster. 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. And like I said before, it's not just career related stuff. It's all kinds of different stuff. Literally anything that you already know, you can teach other people how to do it and get paid to do it. So if that sounds interesting to you, I am having a live training this week.
