I’m a college dropout who managed my way to around 100,000 a year but a lot of this is location based. I know of mailmen making 120,000 in Boston, and garbage men in nyc. One cool thing to mention is that business opportunities are just as plentiful as a jobs and often overlooked! My dad is a middle school drop out who started building houses at 14 and he did pretty well. Drive is everything. I think a lot of people get tripped up thinking they always need the degree. “How you can set yourself apart from everyone else” So True! The best salesman in the world make so much more than the bottom 99% of salespeople. Keep up the great content!
I’m British and I find it weird that exactly the same job in the UK and the US is almost never directly converted. Like the idea of a flight attendant earning $50k (£43k) in the UK is hilarious! My job is a Clinical Auditor and I make £33k ($44k) per year yet the average American salary for a Clinical Auditor is around $73k...it’s so weird.
You should mention the outlook for each of the career you mentioned. Truck drivers getting replace by automation soon. Not sure if you should lead people that route.
*High School prepares you for a factory job, and college prepares you for a desk job. Only you can prepare yourself for success. I do animations on personal development, stop by if you have the time*
After working in a factory and noting the most “popular” and “successful” people were the dumbest, meanest, loudest, most gossipy people, I can say with certainty that you’re correct. Basically a more depressing high school. At least in my experience. In a much better place now.
High school prepares you for nothing and very often college prepares you for even less, the difference is the college graduate THINKS he is prepared for a desk job and therefore is unwilling to accept anything less. I am both a high school graduate and a college graduate. Both should prepare you to LEARN. If you learn that and are willing to work HARD then maybe you can make a living. You might even enjoy it.
Shirley Drake what should one do if they can’t find an enjoyable career? Or is it unrealistic to have an enjoyable career? Also, should one go to college even if they want a position that doesn’t require a degree?
Just after pursuing certain strategies claiming to assist me generate income in just a few hours each day, nothing seems to work. My friend however recommended me to use *4NetJobs. Com* and I just can not believe I am now generating more than a hundred money daily because of it. I recommend you to try it also.
Hey Nate, ive wanted to work for Amtrak ever since I was a little kid. Happy to say I just hit my 17th year on the railroad. College made no sense to me and ive been making six figures for years now. Very grateful !!!
Dude, that’s awesome! My great-grandpa immigrated here from Italy and worked for Union Pacific most of his life. He loved his job (even then when times and jobs were much tougher). I’ve always been fascinated by the railway industry, and having been to Europe, I can say it truly saddens me that the U.S. doesn’t prioritize having a more robust railway travel infrastructure. I love traveling by railway and have done so with Amtrak several times. I’m working on specializing in computer programming and think it would be really cool to get a programming job with a company like Amtrak! It seems like they’re a great company to work for!
haha I feel that, man. I have a bachelor’s degree in hospitality management and now I’m working on an associate’s degree in what I should’ve studied from the beginning, computer programming. But at least this degree will be tuition free for me, because my wife works at the college I go to.
I didn’t either and still don’t. The most important thing you can do know is self education / financial intelligence. Read books! There’s a few that drastically changed everything for me
Listen to the old man here, when you get up in your fifties these trades they're not so much fun anymore. If you're going to run a trade like a plumber or electrician get your license and start your own business you don't want to be doing manual labor much past the age of 40. If you're young it's hard to understand this you don't think it's going to happen to you but I promise you it will
More Money I grew up doing manual labor (landscaping) with my dad since I was 8. I’m 33 now and while some days it feels great to be out swinging hammers and chainsaws and doing man shit, I can tell that I already don’t have as much work in me as I did when I was 20. I’m making good money but looking for a way out at the same time.
Mute you know what it will turn out great for you.Let your heart not brain guide you.If you have not found the field you want to major in ,no worries relax .Dont force it ,it will come organically .Pls don’t settle just for a good salary,settle for a good salary and life and accept no less.
I just want a job where I don’t have to break my back and doesn’t require a 4 year degree. I just want to live a normal life where work doesn’t consume my entire life. Any suggestions?
No College Degree Here, I Have Certs & I'm A Systems/Network Engineer. At My Work, We Max Out ~$114k, In Larger Cities Could Go Even Higher, You Only Need Work Experience + Certifications (CCNA/CCIE) & Can Make A Comfortable Living. Engineers are needed everywhere these days for network, security, etc.
I'm going to school to get a Computer science 2 yr degree and then get certifications. I want to understand how to build apps and to also build them. I was considering going self taught + certs. Any advise "Financial Investor"? I'd like to be in your shoes
A Rod Hello! I had a friend who joined one year who had a computer science degree, he was paid less then I was even tho he had a degree so while it’s nice it’s a lot of basic level classes that make you book smart, but not hands on tech level smart. If you want to become a developer or engineer I’d focus on applying at a help desk/sys admin, jobs start anywhere from $15-30 All depends on area and such, while there work on getting A+, Sec+, N+ if you pass the certs the job usually covers the costs, around 2-4 yr point work towards your next step I went with CCNA network/switch, and once you have that look for system/network engineer jobs. I program, but as a hobby I learned on my own c# and made a few apps that I have free on App Store with ads. In about 4 years instead of of going to college to get in debt if your taking out loans you could be sitting at a 60K plus job, if you want to learn to program I suggest learning on your own, not sure if you want normal app dev or games, but Unity is the platform I use and lots of tutorials on how to program.
@MVMT 15 That's what's I've done and there are a ton of certs out there going over database, colllab, data center, cloud. Tech is/will be the biggest this over the next x amount of years. It really depends on where your focus is, I focus on Network/Security so I went with CCNA Routing & Switching, where as someone else might do security, cloud, etc. If your looking at college check out WGU, Western Governors University, you can get bachelors + get 14 industry certs. I know a few guys in my department have gone to it and picked up a bunch of certs while doing college, + our work pays tuition etc. GL!
Captain of a fire department, 70k Atlanta GA. Public Safety often overlooked but is a great job. Great pension, state and local. Work 10 days a month, 24 hrs on and 48 hrs off.
Do fire departments polygraph new members. Just wondering because i dont like wires and things hooked up to idk why i guess it came from watch some saw movies as a kid
I’m a server at a popular locally owned burger restaurant. I make about 50k a year. Five days a week, only about 4-5 hours a day. Super good money for the time. But now I’m trying to save money and make some investments. Been spending too much the past year.
I'm a college drop-out and I work for an insurance agent. The agent themselves can EASILY make way over 100k. I personally am not interested in becoming an agent, so I do the customer service for the clients and in this area my job is averaging around around 30-60k. Only one of my 4 coworkers graduated college, and I can name multiple successful agents who didn't either. It's a great industry for hs grads, in my opinion.
This just popped up in my head A flight attendant has opportunity for making more money by creating vlogs about their destinations and putting it up on youtube. Some destinations get layover period as many as 3 days!!!
Insurance auto adjuster here. I make $42/hour (bay area). Average adjuster nationwide is around 50-75k. Very good benefits and I get a company car that they let me use for personal use. No degree required and a some companies will train you if you don’t know anything about cars.
Technically coding can triumph any of this list Yeah ik coding ain't for everyone but if you study it for a year like every single day you'll get payed like 50k for a junior and that's just the starting line Some actually gets over to 300k On software engineering believe me or not but give it a try
Aesthetically Amazing is it realistic without a degree, I’ve read that I shouldn’t if I don’t have a CS degree. I think I would really enjoy it, but I don’t want to waste time learning it and getting a certificate to not get hired and or possibly make less over someone with a degree.
Love the video! College is always a question with many answers. I think it is nice for people to see options that don't involve a 4-year degree. There is so much opportunity out there straight after high school!
Retired from the Army and now I get a pension. So 10K a month from my side hustle is my goal which was what I made in the Army. I joined the Army with a college degree. As you also mentioned, I spent a year as an insurance agent, learned a lot, but the town I live in, there are too many insurance agents. The houus were great, and I was able to meet a lot of people.
It's not only plumbing and welding but Electricians can make alot of money, especially in the industrial industry. Gain enough experience and you can be doing service calls for over a $100 an hour. Trades are great to get into, along with carpentry, operating engineer, boilermaker, masonry, etc.
Great to get into but it seems like most people in trade jobs have fucked up backs, shoulder pain and all sorts of health problems by the time they hit 50.
@@mikeoxlong567 lol The sacrifices we make. I have worked in a call center for 10 years. It's actually a fun job that pays very well considering the prereqs.
Thank you, Nate. I currently have worked Retail and nursing homes for 40 years or customer service special needs intellectual disabilities. I am ready for a change.
I won't say how much I make, but working in the oilfield pays freaking GREAT! There are tons of different high paying jobs in the industry that don't require any degrees or even experience often. And the work is NOT that hard! On average the work isn't any harder than working as a plumber, which I have done too. Often it's just a lot of waiting around!
History Teacher at an International School in Taipei Salary Monthly - 4,000USD *Cost of living Monthly* - 1,000USD (includes rent, all bills, food, and fun) Perks - 2 months of paid vacation/1 month of optional unpaid vacation if you want to travel more
Mathew Fink funny to see your comment. I’m going to Taiwan in two weeks for a few weeks visit. I have my bachelors in history and have been considering teaching (likely English) in Asia for a while now. I’m making good money in the states right now, saving money, but taking vacations to Asia and waiting to move there. Any notable requirements or tips on getting hired at an international school over a language mill type deal that will likely only pay you enough to survive?
I remember working as a day laborer getting about 60 bucks that day. I was at a local labor hall (office space) in Everett, WA & got work while most others didn't just because I had my own car at the time. But still, even though I landed work that day.. it's no where near the pay that you claim a plumber makes. I was not exactly a plumber, but worked the same work as a day laborer. I did some work setting up new pipping for a house.. nasty poop work for little money!
There are several higher paying careers that don't require degrees. Natural Gas / Petroleum processing plant operators (Operations Technicians) 60k - 130k, not to mention working directly on rigs although that is not as cushy, safe, or stable as being in the processing facilities. Another amazing industry that people don't realize doesn't require college degrees...DUM DUM DUM.. the TECH INDUSTRY! More and more tech companies throw out degree requirements in favor of people who have a good portfolio, willingness to continually learn and most importantly are passionate about the work they're doing. Tech jobs require constant growth and adaptation. People who thrive here are people who have the ability to teach themselves and develop new skills hands on. If you are that type of person, can teach yourself to code or design and build a solid portfolio, you CAN get a high paying job in Technology.
Hey man! I'm 20 years old, in my first year of college and currently I deliver food for a local company similar to "Uber Eats" I enjoy the hustle aspect of it but I want to make more money else where. I randomly saw your video in my recommended and assumed you were another typical get rich quick by buying some book scam, but your videos have actually shown me a lot. I didn't realize how much more money there is to be made outside of a jobs income. You have inspired me a lot, thanks for the great vids!
Great video Nate! In Ghana your only real ticket to making it in life is getting a university degree and landing a great job with a good company. If you’re entrepreneurial too, you could stand a chance but it requires a lot of hard work, smart work and innovation. The jobs you mention here don’t bring much at all. Hopefully as our economy expands, I’m sure Ghanaians would also begin to enjoy the financial fulfillment and satisfaction some of these jobs can offer them.
@@-natmac well, my business management degree costs about 17000 us dollars, its about the average for a degree in Botswana, i dont know about other countries in Africa, when i see that in the us people have degrees for a hundred thousand im suprised, the government pays for us, with our rich diamond mine which the government part owns with debeers, and has managed very well by investing in the people, we are a very low corruption country and with a population of only 2 million people, dont mean to exaggerate but overall we live better than most countries in africa, i may or may not return the money, but i will. you can search a bit on Botswana and see just how we grew from dirt but thanks to our government there is almost no misappropriation, we have never had a single war not even civil unrest so we are driven, though we still need to diversify our economy. i cant believe coutries with GDPs of trillions education is not free.
Tradesmen can always make money if they register a business, lower tax rate means they will at least match the pay of an average employee elsewhere and they can make a lot more.
Yea boy, I'm 22 and have my Class A CDL and I drive for a local company in my town making 60k starting off. Three months to get it vs. Four years for a bachelors but I have no debt. Good vid Nate!
Oladiran Titilayo I would say that depends on what airline you are working for. The national carriers where I live indeed pay that much what Nate said in the video. Some airlines more than the other by couple hundreds.
In health care you can work as a personal assistant for people in wheel chairs. I do that job now and it is very good pay and very relaxing. You make coffe, help them with putting on clothes ect. This field is woman dominant so men have a big advantage in this field. I have earned 1300$ in 17 days and I have just started. Very weird you did not mention this. The demand is just going up and you dont need collage degree or any other degree.
If you have the personality for it, most all commission based sales jobs can pay you very well, regardless of what you are selling. Depending on the job and size of company most will provide training, that will help you get your closing skills down, in order to make a decent living. Insurance like you stated, real estate, automotive, industrial, sales guys are needed everywhere!
@@justinsui4201 Really. The better the company you would choose to work for will determine how much effort they put into your training. It's in the company's best interest to have highly successful sales people. It's the sales people who are the ones who begin all relationships with new customers. Once a person knows how to sell, the item becomes irrelevant, the process is basically all the same. That's when I sales guy can begin to move around to where he or she, finds the best fit for themselves. Women can do very well in sales, as one can see form all the female real estate agents. The field is wide open to women who wish to get into sales as the # in sales now is very limited.
The reason plumbers are not sought after is because it requires either trade school training or college to become one and then you have to get certified to be a plumber and work.
It's fine if you want to jion a union or work for someone. But in most areas you need certification to work especially in new york. My area specifically doesn't have many licensed plumbers cause they won't give out the license. So many plumbers have to work for one of those guys or sub out under them. It's not this way everywhere though.
I'm also not a plumber. I do carpentry, painting, and tapping by trade. I just would talk to my gc a lot on long rides to job sites. I don't work in the trades anymore though.
@@Fearless-ex4iv It's an ongoing process, but after 3 years I tested and passed for a Residential Wireman license. A Journeyman license takes a minimum of 4 years on the job.
Body shop estimator . Both of the estimators at my shop make 100k-120k a year. My dad is a body man and he makes 90k-115k . I’m currently a porter at the shop about to start shadowing one of the estimators so hopefully within a year I’ll be an estimator either at the shop I’m at rn or another one around town.
I graduated with a degree in International Studies and Spanish in 2017. Currently working as a PT Services Rep at a hospital. I'm make 32,600 a year (15/hr). Currently at home saving money to pursue a job in my major elsewhere, because there aren't options for my degree in my area. I should have just become a postal worker 😅
Your overall theme is correct in that college is not necessary to do well financially as long as you apply yourself to your chosen trade and have the desire & drive to succeed.. However, having worked and managed in the Insurance Business for 40 years I can say that an Insurance Sales agent generally has a college degree and the salary is well above the $47,000 indicated even for relatively 'unsuccessful' agents. (of course there can always be exceptions). I am also glad that I viewed this vlog so late, as there are many excellent examples from your viewers how they have applied themselves to their trade and are earning (and deserving through hard work ) their excellent salaries.
I work as a postal worker in Canada and made 43k CAD in 2018. I've done so much overtime to make that much money. If I were only to do my job without any overtime, I probably would have made 33k~36k. This was when I was a temp. worker but since I've been hired as full time since Oct. 2018, I will get yearly increases in my hourly wage. I think they cap out at around $27/h? Also, came across your channel to find ways to get additional income. Just slowly going through your channel and the content has been great so far.
You right, that truck driver is one of the best options to choose, specially now that they are on demand. Here in New York a Hazmat driver makes +80K That's what i wanted to do since i was a little kid The thing is that, in order to be a truck driver and drive a class A, you need to be at least 21 years old, you can get the class B at 18 and drive local but is like imposible to find a job, because "for insurance purposes" So after hight school at 17-18 years old we are obligated to persue something else, In electricity you need 7 years of experience or more supervised by an electrical contractor to get your license and start making good money, but in the first three years you are going to be making 14-17/h as a helper, unless you join a union but is not that easy I didn't know and maybe some people don't know But i'm still waiting to be a truck driver instead.
I happen to be a UPS driver and I'm not sure about the USPS making more money. The possible reason for the USPS showing more money is because its an easier company to work for and being full-time UPS driver is a very complicated process that many people would have a hard time sticking out until their wages increase. Current drivers at UPS max out at 36.50/hr and that wage is going to increase to 40/hr. I don't recommend becoming a driver however because they are pushing through a new contract where you top out at 32/hr, have to work in the building, and have to work on Sundays. So get on now!
U mentioned it very briefly wen talking about plumbers, but I’m currently in school learning HVAC. 18 years old now, gonna be 19 wen I’m done with school🤘🏽 gonna work my way up and make as much money as possible
Jesus lord Christ I remember when you had 200 subscribers. I saw you post a comment on a video I think was on some other famous financial guy the dude with spiky hair. And decided to check out your channel and subscribe for shits and giggles. Fast forward a year you have 67 thousand. That’s wild.

south star because it takes ruthless marketing and networking. Only some have what it takes. But know this: the most millionaires are formed in the real estate industry. You’ll never find anything that’s higher ticket and more expensive than property.
May I ask why you quit working as a radiology technologist? I'm trying to earn a radiation therapy degree and then pursue medical dosimetry so would like to get your thoughts on it.
Automotive technician. I went to a for-profit trade school that was more expensive than it needed to be, but still way cheaper than a 4 year degree. The pay sucks starting out (usually as a helper or changing oil), a lot of people wash out, you have to buy expensive tools, it's hard on your body if you don't work smart. However there is money to be made if you're actually decent at this. I was making 45k/yr after two years. Then 55k, 60k, 85k, and then 110k last year. I'm on track to do a little better this year, and I've found my niche that should keep me making that kind of money (or more!) for a long while.
Rafael Rodriguez was an apprentice for 6 months and you will get tons of human and animal waste on you from crawling in crawl spaces opening pipes etc. I had no interest after anymore after we were fixing a clog at a house that was suppose to be simple. Ended up being an extreme backed up whole house clog and a pipe bursted and I got shit raining on me and my partner all over. We still raining shit on us start sweeping out the house. Needless to say I washed my self off with a garden hose the best I could and I could not come back.
Hell Razer26 No, I believe you’d like plumbing if you like puzzles. This is why I enjoyed plumbing. You don’t need to work with sewage if you’re working as a residential or service and repair plumber - you’d mostly work on new houses and people installing new kitchens, while repairing water leaks occasionally. Plumbing can be really fun if your like problem solving, solving puzzles and serving/interacting with people. If your mindset is “I want to love and serve this person”, then you’ll find a big tolerance to an occasional crawl on a sticky soda-spilled floor behind the kitchen counter. People also often serve you something to drink or eat, and it’s a nice job. A commercial plumber might have to deal with a little more sewage, while interacting with less people, and following a set of instructions/request/directions/plans, but they are people who ‘get the job done, cause it’s gotta be done’. It’s to be honored, but I myself enjoy the interactions and problem solving aspects of the other two types of plumbing.
Class A CDL Truck drivers who drive across the country can actually average about $60k-$100k working for a company. And if you own your own truck and you operate it yourself lets say in flatbed hauling or reefrigirated trailers you can see numbers as high as $250k gross and about $150k-$200k net.
Admins make 45-50k per year to start in NYC. Bachelor preferred. Executive assistants make 90k per year, but is much more stressful, and on call. I don't need the stress in my life, I rather be frugal and stress free.
Hi! I’m not sure if you’ll see this, but I was wondering if you knew what the requirements were to become a hospital unit clerk, along with what the hours were. Seems pretty interesting :)
@@jadelee289 Hi! I should preface this by saying I am in Canada, and my hourly has since increased to $27. Some hospitals will require a college program of medical admin or something similar. I was able to get in without prior schooling because I’d worked in pharmacy and they found my medical terminology knowledge to be sufficient from that. Hours will depend on the unit - ERs typically require 12hr shifts and some nights. Others will be a rotation of days, evenings, overnights. Some clinics will operate solely daytime hours and you may end up with a steady Mon-Fri 8-4 type gig.
I think these options are a solid plan B. If you aspire for something more, you don’t have to go to a 4 years institution. You can go to trade school, vocational school or just get your associates (2years) or a simple certification that range from 6 months to a year. Just something simple will push you to that 60,000 annual salary really quick. There’s also a larger range of careers so a better chance to find something that really interests you and that you’re passionate about.
I’m a salaried manager for Walmart. My yearly salary atm is $58,880 with a yearly bonus of up to about $12,000 depending on store performance. It’s very stressful, but that’s a lot of jobs I suppose. The ceiling is $75,000 I believe.
Trucking is a dying industry though. With the advancement in autonomous cars and trucks, it is going to drastically reduce the need for so many drivers. If you are already in the industry, its fine because it will take 10-15 years for the technology to catch up, but I would not recommend trying to get into trucking.
@@roi_sorab will unlikely happen within the next 10-15 years. Even if it does you will still need someone behind the wheel manning the vehicle especially driving round areas like central London.
What’s your major Brian?( I’m double majoring in economics and finance) I get paid about 13/hour rn at a steam service company ( cleaning hoods at restaurants and such) so at 40 hours a week I’m at about 25k a year. I also bartend 4-6 nights a month and that ranges from 400$-1000$+.
Majoring in marketing. To paint a picture for you: 70 year old professors reading out of a two-year-old textbook "teaching" us about social media marketing. I told myself I could drop out if I make $150,000 in a 12-month span. So far, so good.
I actually enjoy my classes and don’t pay for them( actually get some back from grants and stuff) economics and finance are just so enjoyable. I told my self I would drop out if it ever requires me to pay for it. Other wise education is education. Your on good pace to 1 million though bro. I’ll catch you though
I looked into becoming a postal worker. Junk! They would not hire me because I had a small gap in my job history.. not easy enough to get into, like you suggest Nate. Also, I used to be a professional semi truck driver. Nate, I should be the man in this video.. ur just too young and inexperienced at life to know some of the things I know about money. You have to capitalize, that is why it's called capitalism. I do like how you have figured out that the rich people live off of interest earned (& they get far more money than they are taxed so as to make a profit off of just their money in a savings acct.) & even get slowly richer over time just on their money alone. Anyways, back to trucking.. I was OTR with a CDL class A drivers lic. & DSW Trucking out of Tucson, AZ hired me right out of AIT Truck Driving School (in Phoenix, AZ) after a one month course. That company hired me as a solo truck driver, but without telling me strait up (honestly) that they expected me to do the work of two men! ALL solo truck drivers are expected to do the work of 2 men! Why? Because each truck is designed with two seats & 2 beds.. & when a warehouse told me that I was late, but I see on my electronic thingy (Qaullcomm) that I am NOT late and within the time frame to drop off my load I picked up for them.. then, something is odd. Means, they expected me to be even earlier than what my trucking company was telling me.. how could I have driven to max legal limits & been late!? It's obvious that the whole industry expects there to be another drivers (2 drivers switching out & keeping the truck moving most of ever 24 period). The truck does not have a legal limit of 10 or 11 hours (DOT law), but rather each driver has that limit. 2 drivers would mean 20 hours out of every 24 hour period that the semi truck moves down the road for. Solo truck drivers either have to be twice the size, strength, stamina, & get away with driving more than they r legally allowed 2.. OR losing their jobs as about 95% of all solo truck drivers do. A stat another truck driver driving for SWIFT told me. Stupid miss management on a national level! My real anger lies with the damn trucking industry for wasting my time. IF I was well off enough financially to own and have my own semi tractor, then I could have stayed in my job I had back in 2002 being a truck driver. ONLY IF. But, my dad was poor & so was I.. so that wasn't an option. I could not afford even a used semi tractor at about $90,000 to not have a mean dispatch/company to work for that always would ask me to drive too much. I might look into railroad work.. but from what I understand that insurance sales agent is required to keep up on getting new customers or else loose his/her job.
Wow I wonder why it's so difficult to be a postal worker in the US. In NZ they hire the same type of people that McDonald's hires. Although lowest pay for a postal worker is higher than a manager's at a McDonald's lol
Ted P I recommend looking at the PBS News hour special on it, very informative, and depending on your view, either tells that automation for trucking will be here soon or super far out!
Not all these jobs are accepting non-citizens who are legally allowed to work in the US. For example postal office, if we are talking about USPS, it is a government facility that makes it a requirement to be a citizen ( not a legal resident with work authorization) to work for them.
i am a college drop out working as an IT technician. I make 60k a year. quite good if you compare it to an average college graduate in my country (Japan). I sometimes help people with IT stuff outside of work and I get non-tax income from that so thats also a bonus. I am pretty that is the case with plumbers/mechanics/and lock smiths too. They get relied on by friends/family and they will happily pay you for your service.
IT is great for no degree. I know I had no degree started and worked my azz off the last 12 years but have a team of sys admins that work for me and many of them have a 4 year degree.

I’m British and I find it weird that exactly the same job in the UK and the US is almost never directly converted. Like the idea of a flight attendant earning $50k (£43k) in the UK is hilarious! My job is a Clinical Auditor and I make £33k ($44k) per year yet the average American salary for a Clinical Auditor is around $73k...it’s so weird.

*High School prepares you for a factory job, and college prepares you for a desk job. Only you can prepare yourself for success. I do animations on personal development, stop by if you have the time*
After working in a factory and noting the most “popular” and “successful” people were the dumbest, meanest, loudest, most gossipy people, I can say with certainty that you’re correct. Basically a more depressing high school. At least in my experience. In a much better place now.
High school prepares you for nothing and very often college prepares you for even less, the difference is the college graduate THINKS he is prepared for a desk job and therefore is unwilling to accept anything less. I am both a high school graduate and a college graduate. Both should prepare you to LEARN. If you learn that and are willing to work HARD then maybe you can make a living. You might even enjoy it.
Shirley Drake what should one do if they can’t find an enjoyable career? Or is it unrealistic to have an enjoyable career? Also, should one go to college even if they want a position that doesn’t require a degree?

Hey Nate, ive wanted to work for Amtrak ever since I was a little kid. Happy to say I just hit my 17th year on the railroad. College made no sense to me and ive been making six figures for years now. Very grateful !!!
Dude, that’s awesome! My great-grandpa immigrated here from Italy and worked for Union Pacific most of his life. He loved his job (even then when times and jobs were much tougher). I’ve always been fascinated by the railway industry, and having been to Europe, I can say it truly saddens me that the U.S. doesn’t prioritize having a more robust railway travel infrastructure. I love traveling by railway and have done so with Amtrak several times. I’m working on specializing in computer programming and think it would be really cool to get a programming job with a company like Amtrak! It seems like they’re a great company to work for!

Listen to the old man here, when you get up in your fifties these trades they're not so much fun anymore. If you're going to run a trade like a plumber or electrician get your license and start your own business you don't want to be doing manual labor much past the age of 40. If you're young it's hard to understand this you don't think it's going to happen to you but I promise you it will
Invest so you don't have to work that long
More Money I grew up doing manual labor (landscaping) with my dad since I was 8. I’m 33 now and while some days it feels great to be out swinging hammers and chainsaws and doing man shit, I can tell that I already don’t have as much work in me as I did when I was 20. I’m making good money but looking for a way out at the same time.

No College Degree Here, I Have Certs & I'm A Systems/Network Engineer.
At My Work, We Max Out ~$114k, In Larger Cities Could Go Even Higher, You Only Need Work Experience + Certifications (CCNA/CCIE) & Can Make A Comfortable Living.
Engineers are needed everywhere these days for network, security, etc.
Wow thank you so much for sharing. Quite interesting
I'm going to school to get a Computer science 2 yr degree and then get certifications. I want to understand how to build apps and to also build them. I was considering going self taught + certs.
Any advise "Financial Investor"?
I'd like to be in your shoes
A Rod Hello! I had a friend who joined one year who had a computer science degree, he was paid less then I was even tho he had a degree so while it’s nice it’s a lot of basic level classes that make you book smart, but not hands on tech level smart.
If you want to become a developer or engineer I’d focus on applying at a help desk/sys admin, jobs start anywhere from $15-30 All depends on area and such, while there work on getting A+, Sec+, N+ if you pass the certs the job usually covers the costs, around 2-4 yr point work towards your next step I went with CCNA network/switch, and once you have that look for system/network engineer jobs.
I program, but as a hobby I learned on my own c# and made a few apps that I have free on App Store with ads.
In about 4 years instead of of going to college to get in debt if your taking out loans you could be sitting at a 60K plus job, if you want to learn to program I suggest learning on your own, not sure if you want normal app dev or games, but Unity is the platform I use and lots of tutorials on how to program.
@MVMT 15 That's what's I've done and there are a ton of certs out there going over database, colllab, data center, cloud. Tech is/will be the biggest this over the next x amount of years.
It really depends on where your focus is, I focus on Network/Security so I went with CCNA Routing & Switching, where as someone else might do security, cloud, etc.
If your looking at college check out WGU, Western Governors University, you can get bachelors + get 14 industry certs.
I know a few guys in my department have gone to it and picked up a bunch of certs while doing college, + our work pays tuition etc.

Another amazing industry that people don't realize doesn't require college degrees...DUM DUM DUM.. the TECH INDUSTRY! More and more tech companies throw out degree requirements in favor of people who have a good portfolio, willingness to continually learn and most importantly are passionate about the work they're doing. Tech jobs require constant growth and adaptation. People who thrive here are people who have the ability to teach themselves and develop new skills hands on. If you are that type of person, can teach yourself to code or design and build a solid portfolio, you CAN get a high paying job in Technology.

im in Botswana, i think its throughout africa , there is an almost impossible chance that you live a decent life without at least a diploma.
I’m curious, how reasonable is the cost of a degree? Is it astronomical like in North America?
@@-natmac well, my business management degree costs about 17000 us dollars, its about the average for a degree in Botswana, i dont know about other countries in Africa, when i see that in the us people have degrees for a hundred thousand im suprised, the government pays for us, with our rich diamond mine which the government part owns with debeers, and has managed very well by investing in the people, we are a very low corruption country and with a population of only 2 million people, dont mean to exaggerate but overall we live better than most countries in africa, i may or may not return the money, but i will. you can search a bit on Botswana and see just how we grew from dirt but thanks to our government there is almost no misappropriation, we have never had a single war not even civil unrest so we are driven, though we still need to diversify our economy. i cant believe coutries with GDPs of trillions education is not free.
Tradesmen can always make money if they register a business, lower tax rate means they will at least match the pay of an average employee elsewhere and they can make a lot more.

If you have the personality for it, most all commission based sales jobs can pay you very well, regardless of what you are selling. Depending on the job and size of company most will provide training, that will help you get your closing skills down, in order to make a decent living. Insurance like you stated, real estate, automotive, industrial, sales guys are needed everywhere!
Really?
@@justinsui4201 Really. The better the company you would choose to work for will determine how much effort they put into your training. It's in the company's best interest to have highly successful sales people. It's the sales people who are the ones who begin all relationships with new customers. Once a person knows how to sell, the item becomes irrelevant, the process is basically all the same. That's when I sales guy can begin to move around to where he or she, finds the best fit for themselves. Women can do very well in sales, as one can see form all the female real estate agents. The field is wide open to women who wish to get into sales as the # in sales now is very limited.
The reason plumbers are not sought after is because it requires either trade school training or college to become one and then you have to get certified to be a plumber and work.
I don't know specifically about plumbers, but as an electrician, I began with no experience and learned on-the-job.
Erik Swiger How long did it take you to learn most of the aspects?
It's fine if you want to jion a union or work for someone. But in most areas you need certification to work especially in new york. My area specifically doesn't have many licensed plumbers cause they won't give out the license. So many plumbers have to work for one of those guys or sub out under them. It's not this way everywhere though.

Your overall theme is correct in that college is not necessary to do well financially as long as you apply yourself to your chosen trade and have the desire & drive to succeed.. However, having worked and managed in the Insurance Business for 40 years I can say that an Insurance Sales agent generally has a college degree and the salary is well above the $47,000 indicated even for relatively 'unsuccessful' agents. (of course there can always be exceptions). I am also glad that I viewed this vlog so late, as there are many excellent examples from your viewers how they have applied themselves to their trade and are earning (and deserving through hard work ) their excellent salaries.
What kind of cool jobs have you had Nate? Would love to hear about that in an upcoming video.
🤔👀
I work as a postal worker in Canada and made 43k CAD in 2018. I've done so much overtime to make that much money. If I were only to do my job without any overtime, I probably would have made 33k~36k. This was when I was a temp. worker but since I've been hired as full time since Oct. 2018, I will get yearly increases in my hourly wage. I think they cap out at around $27/h?
Also, came across your channel to find ways to get additional income. Just slowly going through your channel and the content has been great so far.
You right, that truck driver is one of the best options to choose, specially now that they are on demand. Here in New York a Hazmat driver makes +80K
That's what i wanted to do since i was a little kid
The thing is that, in order to be a truck driver and drive a class A, you need to be at least 21 years old, you can get the class B at 18 and drive local but is like imposible to find a job, because "for insurance purposes"
So after hight school at 17-18 years old we are obligated to persue something else,
In electricity you need 7 years of experience or more supervised by an electrical contractor to get your license and start making good money, but in the first three years you are going to be making 14-17/h as a helper, unless you join a union but is not that easy
I didn't know and maybe some people don't know
But i'm still waiting to be a truck driver instead.

I happen to be a UPS driver and I'm not sure about the USPS making more money. The possible reason for the USPS showing more money is because its an easier company to work for and being full-time UPS driver is a very complicated process that many people would have a hard time sticking out until their wages increase. Current drivers at UPS max out at 36.50/hr and that wage is going to increase to 40/hr. I don't recommend becoming a driver however because they are pushing through a new contract where you top out at 32/hr, have to work in the building, and have to work on Sundays. So get on now!

Thank you!
Automotive technician. I went to a for-profit trade school that was more expensive than it needed to be, but still way cheaper than a 4 year degree. The pay sucks starting out (usually as a helper or changing oil), a lot of people wash out, you have to buy expensive tools, it's hard on your body if you don't work smart. However there is money to be made if you're actually decent at this. I was making 45k/yr after two years. Then 55k, 60k, 85k, and then 110k last year. I'm on track to do a little better this year, and I've found my niche that should keep me making that kind of money (or more!) for a long while.
I’m a journeyman plumber. We make about $35 an hour but the work kinda sucks tbh
Tyler Kerr why do it suck if you don’t mind me asking ?
Kind of shitty
Rafael Rodriguez was an apprentice for 6 months and you will get tons of human and animal waste on you from crawling in crawl spaces opening pipes etc. I had no interest after anymore after we were fixing a clog at a house that was suppose to be simple. Ended up being an extreme backed up whole house clog and a pipe bursted and I got shit raining on me and my partner all over. We still raining shit on us start sweeping out the house. Needless to say I washed my self off with a garden hose the best I could and I could not come back.

No, I believe you’d like plumbing if you like puzzles. This is why I enjoyed plumbing. You don’t need to work with sewage if you’re working as a residential or service and repair plumber - you’d mostly work on new houses and people installing new kitchens, while repairing water leaks occasionally. Plumbing can be really fun if your like problem solving, solving puzzles and serving/interacting with people. If your mindset is “I want to love and serve this person”, then you’ll find a big tolerance to an occasional crawl on a sticky soda-spilled floor behind the kitchen counter. People also often serve you something to drink or eat, and it’s a nice job. A commercial plumber might have to deal with a little more sewage, while interacting with less people, and following a set of instructions/request/directions/plans, but they are people who ‘get the job done, cause it’s gotta be done’. It’s to be honored, but I myself enjoy the interactions and problem solving aspects of the other two types of plumbing.
There's also oilfield work, which is incredibly hard and incredibly dangerous, but if you can do it for awhile, you can amass $100,000/year.
so i have heard!
Class A CDL Truck drivers who drive across the country can actually average about $60k-$100k working for a company. And if you own your own truck and you operate it yourself lets say in flatbed hauling or reefrigirated trailers you can see numbers as high as $250k gross and about $150k-$200k net.
The future of 'driving' is in jeopardy with self-driving technology. Long-Haul driving may be the first to be automated.
Admins make 45-50k per year to start in NYC. Bachelor preferred. Executive assistants make 90k per year, but is much more stressful, and on call. I don't need the stress in my life, I rather be frugal and stress free.
I work as a hospital unit clerk and make $25/hr. plus 14% in lieu of benefits.
Hi! I’m not sure if you’ll see this, but I was wondering if you knew what the requirements were to become a hospital unit clerk, along with what the hours were. Seems pretty interesting :)
@@jadelee289 Hi! I should preface this by saying I am in Canada, and my hourly has since increased to $27. Some hospitals will require a college program of medical admin or something similar. I was able to get in without prior schooling because I’d worked in pharmacy and they found my medical terminology knowledge to be sufficient from that. Hours will depend on the unit - ERs typically require 12hr shifts and some nights. Others will be a rotation of days, evenings, overnights. Some clinics will operate solely daytime hours and you may end up with a steady Mon-Fri 8-4 type gig.
I think these options are a solid plan B. If you aspire for something more, you don’t have to go to a 4 years institution. You can go to trade school, vocational school or just get your associates (2years) or a simple certification that range from 6 months to a year. Just something simple will push you to that 60,000 annual salary really quick. There’s also a larger range of careers so a better chance to find something that really interests you and that you’re passionate about.
I’m a salaried manager for Walmart. My yearly salary atm is $58,880 with a yearly bonus of up to about $12,000 depending on store performance. It’s very stressful, but that’s a lot of jobs I suppose. The ceiling is $75,000 I believe.
Trucking is a dying industry though. With the advancement in autonomous cars and trucks, it is going to drastically reduce the need for so many drivers. If you are already in the industry, its fine because it will take 10-15 years for the technology to catch up, but I would not recommend trying to get into trucking.
Sourabh Bhavsar are you a truck driver??
@@RandyLibertadF No
@@roi_sorab how do you know is a dying industry then??
@@RandyLibertadF I guess we will have to wait and see who is right :)
@@roi_sorab will unlikely happen within the next 10-15 years. Even if it does you will still need someone behind the wheel manning the vehicle especially driving round areas like central London.
Powerlines is the job everyone is sleeping on. Become a lineman
I'm making 80k a year as a garage door installer. Working 55-60 hpw
What’s your major Brian?( I’m double majoring in economics and finance) I get paid about 13/hour rn at a steam service company ( cleaning hoods at restaurants and such) so at 40 hours a week I’m at about 25k a year. I also bartend 4-6 nights a month and that ranges from 400$-1000$+.
Majoring in marketing. To paint a picture for you: 70 year old professors reading out of a two-year-old textbook "teaching" us about social media marketing. I told myself I could drop out if I make $150,000 in a 12-month span. So far, so good.
I actually enjoy my classes and don’t pay for them( actually get some back from grants and stuff) economics and finance are just so enjoyable. I told my self I would drop out if it ever requires me to pay for it. Other wise education is education. Your on good pace to 1 million though bro. I’ll catch you though
I work in a factory in Ohio, i make around 35,000 gross per year as a Group Leader
Thanks Nate! Really helpful
Going to college for construction management. Will probably start off making roughly 80k and that will increase rapidly
Yes! Love it
I’m 19 live in Utah, and get paid 20,000 annually with an accounts payable job.
I looked into becoming a postal worker. Junk! They would not hire me because I had a small gap in my job history.. not easy enough to get into, like you suggest Nate. Also, I used to be a professional semi truck driver. Nate, I should be the man in this video.. ur just too young and inexperienced at life to know some of the things I know about money. You have to capitalize, that is why it's called capitalism. I do like how you have figured out that the rich people live off of interest earned (& they get far more money than they are taxed so as to make a profit off of just their money in a savings acct.) & even get slowly richer over time just on their money alone. Anyways, back to trucking.. I was OTR with a CDL class A drivers lic. & DSW Trucking out of Tucson, AZ hired me right out of AIT Truck Driving School (in Phoenix, AZ) after a one month course. That company hired me as a solo truck driver, but without telling me strait up (honestly) that they expected me to do the work of two men! ALL solo truck drivers are expected to do the work of 2 men! Why? Because each truck is designed with two seats & 2 beds.. & when a warehouse told me that I was late, but I see on my electronic thingy (Qaullcomm) that I am NOT late and within the time frame to drop off my load I picked up for them.. then, something is odd. Means, they expected me to be even earlier than what my trucking company was telling me.. how could I have driven to max legal limits & been late!? It's obvious that the whole industry expects there to be another drivers (2 drivers switching out & keeping the truck moving most of ever 24 period). The truck does not have a legal limit of 10 or 11 hours (DOT law), but rather each driver has that limit. 2 drivers would mean 20 hours out of every 24 hour period that the semi truck moves down the road for. Solo truck drivers either have to be twice the size, strength, stamina, & get away with driving more than they r legally allowed 2.. OR losing their jobs as about 95% of all solo truck drivers do. A stat another truck driver driving for SWIFT told me. Stupid miss management on a national level! My real anger lies with the damn trucking industry for wasting my time. IF I was well off enough financially to own and have my own semi tractor, then I could have stayed in my job I had back in 2002 being a truck driver. ONLY IF. But, my dad was poor & so was I.. so that wasn't an option. I could not afford even a used semi tractor at about $90,000 to not have a mean dispatch/company to work for that always would ask me to drive too much. I might look into railroad work.. but from what I understand that insurance sales agent is required to keep up on getting new customers or else loose his/her job.
Wow I wonder why it's so difficult to be a postal worker in the US. In NZ they hire the same type of people that McDonald's hires. Although lowest pay for a postal worker is higher than a manager's at a McDonald's lol
Waster water operator. I’m just starting my career in this field and I’m making 65K a year with an entry level position.
How is it so far?
Do you
Im interested. How could one get into to this with no experience?
@@Adoobie6 It's going well. I'm just starting my second year and I really enjoy it.
@@Mapachin123 what exactly do you do for work? like what tasks?
One major problem I found with this lies with trucking- trucking is going to face automation very soon.
Ted P I recommend looking at the PBS News hour special on it, very informative, and depending on your view, either tells that automation for trucking will be here soon or super far out!
It will take longer to get automated.. Automation is so overhyped
No way
Is Elon Musk behind it? Lol
Not all these jobs are accepting non-citizens who are legally allowed to work in the US. For example postal office, if we are talking about USPS, it is a government facility that makes it a requirement to be a citizen ( not a legal resident with work authorization) to work for them.
Good.
i am a college drop out working as an IT technician. I make 60k a year. quite good if you compare it to an average college graduate in my country (Japan). I sometimes help people with IT stuff outside of work and I get non-tax income from that so thats also a bonus. I am pretty that is the case with plumbers/mechanics/and lock smiths too. They get relied on by friends/family and they will happily pay you for your service.
IT is great for no degree. I know I had no degree started and worked my azz off the last 12 years but have a team of sys admins that work for me and many of them have a 4 year degree.
frank toole what area In IT is good for someone with no degree or training in IT?
I really enjoy your video today thank you for sharing
