As someone in chat noted: There's not a single job on this list that works with food in any capacity. Whoever made this template is the epitome of a STEMlord
This, there’s also very little that involved arts or performance in any way the one main one being photography….involving technology. Stemlord confirmed
I have binged every single one of this dude's tier lists. I love the way he expresses certain ideas and concepts. The way this dude's brain works, accented by his vocabulary, just comes off as really hilarious sometimes. Like him going into a passionate rant about the quality of technical writers for barbeque construction had me cracking up so loud.
TIL that's an actual classification of some sort. I've internalized it as "spatial awareness", it's definitely a different way of thinking / different type of intelligence. Rotating shapes in my head is something I can definitely not do well at all, but I succeed in traditionally "hard" disciplines that don't involve spatial thinking. More analytical stuff, detail oriented, technical. Although shape rotating can definitely lend itself to some technical (real world) trades.
@@EscapingLogician I think I'm kind of similar. I can use spatial awareness if I try but I'm definitely not a "shape rotator". I'm technical, good with numbers & words, but not shapes.
NL!!! IM AN OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST IM SCREAMING. we’re healthcare professionals that teaches patients how to take care of themselves after an illness or injury. So if somebody had a stroke and suddenly can’t use the left side of their body, we teach them how to get dressed and washed, brush their teeth, feed themselves again! Literally has nothing to do with finding people jobs lol. Stupid name, great career.
@@handtomouth4690 i'm a year late but in case you're still interested, OT & PT often work with the same patients. this is a bit of an oversimplification, but you can think of it as PT working on legs and OT working on arms.
I could not agree more. It’s just an insanely imbalanced list in general. There are literally 10 different types of engineer, but so many commonly known jobs like farmer, military, veterinarian, sanitation worker, or chef are left out.
I love the idea of someone not knowing the way NL is doing this ranking and just going to the end of the video and seeing Doctors and engineers on the D list.
I hope NL revisits this topic for a tier list in the future because whoever made this tierlist chose such a shitty variety of jobs. 90% Corporate Financial hellscape, 9% creative, 1% blue collar.
"I always put my child in the center of the picture, horizontally and vertically" That's you literally admitting you have absolutely no idea what a photo composition is.
The title made me hope he was gonna rank historical jobs too. Like "I think I'd be an OKAY cobbler, okay?" PLEASE NL, I need to know if you'd be a good tax collector and stuff.
You telling me they put Petroleum engineers but completely forgot about Chefs? Booooo. Guess all these college career people are gonna have to start taking lunches from home!
As a medical resident, betting hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt and years of your life on a competitive career that you may not even have at the end really sinks the job to D rank
shoulda come to australia for med my dude, i work 38 hours a week iand make stupid money it's a vibe. Plus our student loan (60k) has no interest on repayments
Did you not listen to the first minute of the video where he says those ARE NOT RANKING OF THE JOBS IN THE ABSOLUTE, just how good or bad he'd be at it.
Photography itself isn't very hard, it's just pressing a button, anyone can do it, but that's also what makes it hard. You need to find a way to stand out. Creating something unique that other people want to look at isn't easy. Just like how anyone can stream on twitch, but being interesting enough for people to care is really hard. I started doing landscape photography as a hobby a few years ago and I have definitely come to appreciate professional photographers. At least for landscape photography, scouting and researching spots, traveling, taking the photo, editing, and networking is all part of the job. I probably wouldn't want to do it full time because it's exhausting and it doesn't pay well unless you're a youtuber. That's why I do comp sci lol
You articulated my thoughts exactly. It doesn't take much to be a mediocre photographer, but you truly do know a great photographer when you see one, taking an amazing photo is something most people just simply cannot do, I sure as hell couldn't.
Anyone can be a photographer, but really people should think of it more as a trade. You learn or study, or both. You maybe apprentice / learn from others in the field, you can have a full career with some absurd amount of hours under your belt - and still never be at a "red seal" level. A master is a master. I think NL's POV on it, is actually super on point! It feels like anyone can do it, and they can. Any of us could grab a camera and learn to take a beautiful picture - the technical skill is translatable for mostly anyone with the means, But not everyone has the drive to plan perfect shots or eye of a master - and that's super normal. Same reason IMO, most content creators have a hard time holding a candle to NL's banter. He's just masterful at it.
The man says he would be good as a pharmacist remembering all the different medication interactions. He can't even remember which item upgrades which weapon in vampire survivors.
NL: Whats a software researcher? Chat: Someone that researches software. NL: Whats an account manager? Chat: A manager of accounts. Thank you chat 🙂 so helpful lol
11:49 as someone who puts things like this together a lot, the wording on these type of instructions is usually even harder to follow than the visuals. They make them picture-only to avoid a language barrier, and often the ones that DO have words are written in google translate english and are difficult to understand
I think one of the most important things is how happy these careers tend to make people. I’m a retail pharmacist, I see angry people every day argue with me because their insurance company doesn’t cover said medication. If I didn’t spend 8 years to get here I wouldn’t be a pharmacist.
For anyone that listens to NL's take on photography and wants examples of some extremely well done photos (especially ones that are not just a sunset), I higly reccomend checking up the archive collection of World Press Photo. They create contests every year on a variety of subjects, and its a great place to view some great examples of good photography work. As someone that also works with photography, it was funny listening to NL's take on the profession, but it is also nice to get to know more about fields that you are not familiar with.
When he started talking about accounting and combing through sheets of information for numbers like we don’t use dext to extract that info almost all the time lol. The job mostly isn’t hard, until it is though. Also it’s constant learning if you want to get good at it and stay good at it.
I wish the list of options wasn't so ass. There's so many things missing. And not even just single jobs but entire fields of work. Like in athletics: pro athlete, pro sport coach, pro trainer, personal trainer for a local gym, physical therapist, athletic trainers (the ones on the field in the game). You could lump half of those in with each other and still have a decent list, but it just doesn't put any of them in. Plus no (small)business owner which could cover for half of the shitty jobs out there. I feel like half the people that watch are just gonna be like "well I guess I'm not on here"
With you except for investment research. I get the list seems very finance heavy but those are about the only people that aren't bullshitting in the finance department.
a financial advisor is basically a salesperson for investments. If you don't like selling something to someone you may not like it. A big part of this job is making contacts with other professionals or clients that can refer you business. When you start, you may be doing things like hassling your friends and relatives or doing cold calls on whatever leads you may have.
as a junior developer, i have a lot of meetings and a good chunk of coding. i literally have no idea how 99% of the code my company uses works because we're a large company it's a sweet gig tbh. definitely a lot easier than being the lone developer for a small company
According to alums from my Software Engineering program from about 20 years ago, most of them rarely code anymore but it's kinda like being a teacher. They still have to help people debug and stuff. So the legwork goes away but you still have to have a good understanding of how to code because you are the fallback person for the rest of your team.
People in the comments waxing on about why entire industries aren't on this list, what does and doesn't count as food industry work, etc. The creator put journalist in scare quotes, that tells you absolutely everything you need to know
I'm a nurse. Came to see where he put nurse. Can't disagree. If there was an F tier I'd put it there. That being said, I love my job, but if I could go back I would choose something else. People suck.
As a construction worker, it's VERY funny to me that they put "construction" under 1 banner, when in reality it's like 60 different trades, all working together to try and complete one goal. Drywallers, Pipefitters, Plumbers, Electricians, Sheet Metal Workers, Painters, Carpenters, ect. ect. The fact that only like 3 of those were on the list is appalling to me.
Isn’t being a mechanic just like a programmer (code Lego)? You learn the basics of what each car part does and how they are connected and then just adjust for whatever model your working on? Plus they have that little machine now a days that you just plug into the car’s computer and it tells you what the problem is lol
I’m not gonna lie, this was the video that planted the seed for me to pivot into software engineering and it was probably the best decision of my life…
