I'm 40. About six years ago, I quit my corporate job that I hated. Started my own business. I have saved up about 45k before I quit though. Then when I did quit, I cut my expenses down to basically nothing. I mean if it wasn't a necessity, it was cut. I went into business for myself. Toughest craziest thing I've ever done in my life. And to be honest, the first two years, I didn't make any money, or very little. But my third year, I was down to my last thousand dollars or so, end my business took off. Now I just hit my six year anniversary and I've paid myself about 300k this year so far. Best thing I ever did. Crazy but thank God every day I left that corporate job.
@Djmedic23 the turo makes about what I make at the day job. So right now it kinda makes more sense to have both so I can scale the turo fleet quicker. Once I reach about 20 cars I'll probably consider quitting. But with the full time job I get good insurance, 401k match and HSA with a match plus company stocks and profit share so it's a pretty good job. I'll probably stay for 5 years till I'm fully vested in the stock program then depending where I'm at do the turo full time and start looking at investing into real estate.
@@treyt6442 I lived with my parents till I was 19, then I moved in with my girlfriend and her dad, it was kinda awkward and not very comfortable but I made it work and was willing to sacrifice to get where I wanted to be. Rent/mortgage is the biggest expense most people make so without that I was able to put away most of my paychecks. I also drove a cheap $2k car paid in cash until I saved up enough to buy a $5k car in cash and sold the other car for the same I bought it for. Basically just lots of sacrifices so I could save as much money as possible. In 2020 I started making some blogging websites and made about $30k after 3 years. I did a little doordashing too and probably made around $7-8k doing that.
I’m 17 and just starting my plumbing apprenticeship this video helped me a lot, I ran a lawn mowing business with my friend in the summer and made a little over 5k I plan on running that in the summer building it and making it into a actual business, and working towards my master plumber at the same time.
Your doing a lot better than me, I was running a car detailing business summer as well but didn't get as much clients as I wanted so I gave up on that and right now working for my dad he owns his own business 💪🏼
24 now, no job, $5k to my name and a couple motorcycles I’m selling for another $5k. At 22 I had $35k saved, had earned $100k the previous year at my job. I got laid off. I feel like I’m starting over again. Feel younger, I feel like I know more, and was able to take time to focus on other things I do not regret spending time on and that’s a difference than some other years of my life so far that I do regret. Going into 2025 new. Best of luck kings out there
I am 28, I started blue collar with an insulation company at 18. I made 17$ hourly for 3 months installing fiberglass, then I took on the opportunity to work for piece rate which was getting paid for what I install per sq ft. Because I was working my balls off with a good attitude they promoted me to blown in cellulose installation and I started averaging around 33$/hr on piece rate. After a few more months I was offered an opportunity to spray foam insulation. I made 6 figures spraying closed cell spray foam on piece rate for 5 years straight and was able to start and fund 2 businesses in my mid twenties. I now run a gym and an online mentorship and have full freedom over my location and time.
You’ve done it bro, please don’t get too greedy and keep focusing on only making more money. Enjoy what you’ve accomplished with your family and friends.
fuc da trauma we gotta live for today not yesterday. aint i aint green to trauma either, my cousin told me stop living in the past you need to do the same. i still struggle though it is very difficult
it’s never too late I may be much younger than you but I know as a man there’s really no limit or constraint on how long it takes to be successful many millionaires were broke even in their 50s
start going to the gym if you haven’t that’s where it all started for me on my self improvement journey build the body the mind and everything will fall into place
I'll be 21 in 2 days. I'm an entrepreneur. I'm terrified of being an employee. Even if it's a $200k+ salary. My parents are employees and I've listened to them complain about their jobs my entire childhood. I realized at a young age I didn't want to follow in their footsteps and share their burden of being employees. I want financial independence, time freedom, and location freedom.
Happy Birthday Bro! Don't let being an employee scare you too much. I know a guy around your age who had a similar view. He avoided working traditional jobs so much that he ended up getting his bank info and his identity stolen. Don't let that mindset push you into any get-rich-quick schemes and scams.
Happy birthday bro. My gift to you is a book recommendation. Check out Millionaire Fastlane by MJ Demarco. It’s breakdown what makes a business successful and how to copy. The rewards don’t come without sacrifice. This book will give you the keys to becoming a successful entrepreneur
Go be an employee bro. On your off time work on your side business til it makes as much as your main job. Then you can think of nicely leaving your job.
Having a sedentary desk job can be harder on your body than a physical job in the trades. “Sitting is the new smoking”. It has a lot to do with your lifestyle outside of work. Drinking every day is harder on you than working
Makes sense. Physical jobs can be brutal, but at least you’re moving and taking in some sunlight. In an office, you’re just sitting in a cubicle for hours with little sunshine and a bunch of screens blasting artificial light at you 💀
I’m 24, worked at 16 saved 30k, got really lucky with my friend who knows how to build gaming PC’s, flipped and scaled gaming pcs to 100k. It doesn’t feel real, we’re considering investing into different businesses together. We had our ups and downs but the risk was what truly mattered.
I’m 18 years old, just graduated from high school and I decided to go into work full time, I work under a construction manager and I’m learning as much as possible right now, I make $15 an hour but my boss just bought me a truck and I’m paying it off to him I’m not sure exactly what I want to do but I try to stay positive and motivated and I put a lot of thought into it everyday. As soon as I choose what I really want to do I’m gonna go at it like I never have for anything else and I am very excited.
identical situation. You gotta ask for metrics for raises. Start bringing project managment up but dont ask directly. ask your project managers question all day every day. be the yes man.
I'm 22, just graduated with two undergrad degrees, and I'm working in Compensation. I'm learning Data Analytics on my own time and plan to leverage that with my experience in what I'm doing now to get a higher salary later. Hopefully down the line I can get into consulting, but I need to focus on acquiring skills right now. Biggest thing you can do is learn! It never stops after schooling, just watch TH-cam tutorials to get going. The hardest part is getting started, and just doing that will put you in the top 1%. We can get through this bros, thanks Denmo!
Good for you. I'm 38, finished professional coursework for 2 in demand fields and will study data analytics in future. Working at a deadend steward job now (did the role 6 times before and it's unfulfilling and tedious as hell and pay isn't that great) and will work on redoing my LinkedIn and starting my job search next week for the professional certification I earned recently so I can continue forward with continuing to build my envisioned life and continue to build my vision since I'm focusing on becoming the best version of myself. I'm also putting aside funds to get my place (1 bed 1 bath apartment) with also getting my own internet since right now, I'm living with roommates and can only get internet when I head to local library
you’re the same age as me yet your further ahead of me just started going back to college after dropping out and plan to get my cdl to pay for it trying to get into tech
Im 22 and graduated recently as well with a major in data analytics, make sure you focus on projects. projects. projects. Once you have learned the skill and can complete projects on your own, focus on networking. You’ll land a 6 figure gig in no time
I wish blue collar wouldn’t criticise white collar either. They underestimate how much work it takes sometimes to be white collar. It’s mental energy vs physical, very real thing.
Yeah this is true. My dad was union electrical worker but i'm a software dev. Sure, my body is fine but i still get RSI, eye strain problems, and my brain after a long day is so shot that I can't and don't want to do anything but stare at a wall after work.
Just turned 34, living with my mom, graduated from electrical engineering but helped out family stuff, now I don't have to help out often so I've been making TH-cam videos for the past 1.5 years and am now making $0.50 per day from AdSense. Going to keep going hard on TH-cam and eventually make a full-time wage in 3-5 years. Thanks for this video Jack, love your breakdown.
37..quit my blue collar construction job ..focusing on starting my own business 🏋🏾♂️ working out and being grateful to God each day and helping others where I can. God bless man you’ve earned my Subscription
I swear men are made in the gym that’s where it all starts you get all the tools you discipline,delayed gratification motivation and focus will get you far ahead not just with your body
I'm 38. I'm always looking to learn and improve. I work roughly 20 hours per week and earn around $3,000 / mo. Gotta find a good side hustle that can help me double, or triple, my income.
23yr old, started electrician career at 20yrs old. (Currently at 4000/month average) Currently living with parents. Taking advantage of low rent and shoving money into e-com and crypto.
I am 25. Worked in the medical field for ~6 years as a technologist doing electronics repair and software development. I did it for the money, which was good, but realized I wasn’t well suited for the lifestyle of sitting at a computer all day. I’m starting a new career as an electrician in two days. Working as an apprentice under my older brother at his company, just me and him. It pays less than half as much as I was making before, but I love the work and the environment. It will take a few years to start earning a solid amount again, but will be worth it in the long run.
25, worked in software for 3 years. now started my own consulting company. so far no complaints and get paid more than 2x what i was being paid before.
What’s the road to get there like? Any schooling? Any big risks like living in a different geographical location or having to take on hige amounts of debt? Asking for a friend.. 😅
@@zekealmeida4453 got a BS in computer science then like i mentioned i worked for a small company for 3 years while doing so i lived at home to save money (still do). I also saved probably between 45% to 65% of my pay during those 3 years. my expenses are not that high due to living at home and not going out that much, this was probably the thing that has helped me so far since i have enough money saved to the point where even if i dont find more work i am fine financially. i did not leave my job until i started getting work on the side and became profitable, i honestly wish i could have done both longer but since my job was in person there was only so much i could do on the side, a remote position would be easier to do both. The biggest thing is previous work experience, this helps with client relations and also just knowledge how a company runs. you can do this right out of college but it would be a lot harder and you would not have as much money saved up, the experience clients are looking for and also just the general knowledge on business operations that comes from working somewhere. It is not impossible, but a lot more difficult. TLDR: got college degree, worked for someone for 3 years saved as much money as possible, learned as much as i could, started business, after business became profitable left old job, now work for myself
@@placeholder4988 so far so good. i had some work lined up before i left and now referrals have kept me busy. it is an adjustment but it is worth it if you can keep yourself motivated and are willing to put in the work.
i started working in a carwash when i was 16, i worked there for four years, i’m 20 now and left the carwash to become a 1099 contractor. i gained sales and leadership skills while working in the carwash and i now sell solar and make quintuple what i made in the car wash after only a month. if you can handle the pressure and like talking to people, become a salesperson.
hey i kinda started out the same i’m 24 and do pest control sales it’s a bit more of lower ticket but a lot less stress and more sales to make. have you considered pest control D2D or thought about it ?
23 and in the military. I started as an EMT 2 years ago and then got into COMPSCI and electronics, and now in the military. I should’ve listened to my mom earlier. She told me to do something I’m good at and make money so I can fund something I love. I started late but I’m happy I started. I am on a journey and want to do things with my hands and computer software/hardware/firmware after I’m done. Also, TRAVEL! I traveled and it was fun internationally! Be a back packer. It’s a motivation.
Hey nico I was doing roofing sales over the summer D2D I didn’t even work as hard either had a few weeks where I made $1200-2000 easily working maybe 30 hours i would suggest working for a company that specializes in insurance restoration
also selling yourself is 🔑 people will judge you so being presentable and professional at doors always worked for me and i’m a black man I worked under the best seller at my company so watching him helped me a lot
25, HVAC mechanical engineer. Denmo is right, starting a solid foundation with a skilled job is the best way to go for many. Just now starting my TH-cam channel.
Guys, don't be afraid to get into blue collar work. I've been an executive for years, and the electrical guys can make the same money if not more. Better yet, its less stressful because you're just dealing with wiring, etc. The more you have to deal with people in your job, shit that can talk back to you, you're going to get fucking drained. Believe me.
PS- Choose a job thats healthy stress, not something that becomes chronic stress. It's better for your mental health, and you can go home and enjoy your family easier.
Grass is greener on the other side bro, if you're a halfway worthwhile journeyman you're gonna be stressed as fuck dealing with the other trades, the general contractor, timelines, budget, materials etc. You will be performing office and paper/email work WHILE DOING "BLUE COLLAR" LABOR TOO. And the idea that you're "just wiring" it's never just wiring. How does the wire get there? How does wire get into the building? How do you build a system following the strict code rules so that it doesn't blow up and kill someone? How do we program this fire alarm system that also shuts off the air intake so the flour factory doesn't blow up? It's not all putting up lights all day.
Hvac guy here. Went to apex tech for air conditioning. After a few years got my refrigeration operators license in nyc. Now I’m a stationary engineer in a large hospital and I make 107k base with plenty overtime.
I’m 26 and been doing hvac for almost 6 years and I’ll tell you right now at first it’s hard work and you will do the dirt job but you will get into better positions.. I’ve made a lot of money doing this and I’ve had a job consistently even through Covid !! At days I hate this job but most of the time it’s fun and rewarding!
I'm 27. Graduated with a degree in "recording arts" for music and audio. After getting out of school, I started studying video production on my own time and used both skills to start my own company. Combined that with buying a duplex and lived in one half and rented the other half to basically live rent free with so much free time. Company fizzled out after covid and I sold the duplex for a profit and moved across the country. Became irresponsible with my money/time so now I'm restarting. Currently working a white collar 9-5 job doing video editing and need to find a way out back to freedom and self-employment.
Denmo, can we talk? You’re hitting the nail on the head. I’m 27 and you understand this shit to a T. I’d love to set up a 10 minute call, you are the fucking man
I’m 21, turning 22 tomorrow. Currently I work for my friends landscaping and yard work business and have tried a number of jobs that I hated since graduating high school. I completed 2 years of community college but have no idea what I would study if I took debt to get into a university. I feel so lost in what direction I want to head into for a career. Seeing my mom struggle to provide even when she busts her ass everyday really makes me nervous about making the wrong decision for a career. I’ve always dreamed of having my own business but have no clue where to begin or what to sell. I know whenever I find what it is I want, I’ll throw myself into head first. I’ve thought of making videos online but am admittedly scared of failing and wasting my time. My goal for this next of my life is to find something I’m passionate about and good it and find out ways to make money out of it. Thx to anyone reading
Hey man, first I wanna say, Happy Birthday and I hope you enjoy it. But I read your comment and just wanted to share how I feel like I'm nearly in the exact same boat as you. I feel like I don't what my passion is but I really wanna figure it out to get started in a career I enjoy asap. As for the youtube thing, if you ever think about trying it again, I would say what helped me is try not to be afraid. No one is laughing at you if you fail and if you do fail just try, try again. You've made a lot of mistakes before but they didnt stop you from learning, improving, and trying once more. (damn I should really follow my own advice). Much love fam
I think this is from Baki or something but it's a line that sticks with me. "In order to kill you must be afraid to not die" So whatever it is man put your all In it. Dont think about the money at first, start using creativity, by that I mean think of what you like, think how it could be improved, and then think about how it could be turned into a business. Instead of thinking of how to create a profitable business and what to sell. Truly though, no matter the research you never know until you get your hands dirty. I'm 20, getting ready to be 21 in April. If I could do it all again, I would go back to Jobcorps go to a trade I would actually like and go to college through them. You can still go until you're 23-25 I believe. Fall in love with the journey, manifest what you truly, and I mean truly want in life and believe in it as though you'll die without it. If you ever wanna talk lmk what platform your on
26. Started in trades. I did framing for a couple years and saved up money to go to med school. Got my nursing degree right when COVID hit. Ruined the industry and absolutely hated nursing for the next three years. Now transitioned into sales and marketing. I am working on a plan to become financially free and then time free.
I'm 21 years old and a realtor. Been doing sales since 17. I warn everybody to know exactly what you're getting into, if you choose real estate. I'm soon quitting and pursuing something in the IT sphere, I sincerely hope to enjoy this more.
Im 24 I got out of the military a few years ago and have been cutting grass and installing underground dog fences since then but recently I found a free course in my area where they teach u the bare basics of pluming, hvac, electrical, or carpentry and then at the end theres a job fair and i immediately got hired because i was nice and worked hard during the course and the instructors recommended me and i start my new electrical job next week😎
You always shout out firefighters. Good on ya. For those lost looking for a greater purpose, take courses towards becoming a career firefighter. With ample time off you can attack any of the three of these options. With a paycheque and pension backing you. Cheers
21 years old, hvac service tech living with parents now a 4th year apprentice. Ive already got 100k+ saved/invested. Blue collar is the perfect way to go to build a base in a situation like mine.
27 in KY. Making $21 an hour 40 hours a week. No overtime at the moment. Broke off a 5 year relationship with a girl i had a shitty apartment with. Let her have the apartment so she wouldnt be homeless. Moved in with my mother who i love but living in a nasty home with her as a grown ass man is beyond frustrating and embarrassing. Up to my eyeballs in monthy payments for my car, dental bills, and insurance. No money or time to just run out and do "HVAC" or other trades, like you suggested here. You just need like "$5K" you said. Yeahh, thats not doable lmao not unless i want to lose my car and job. This advice is good for people who have a support system, or family with money. I have neither. I just feel stuck and i walk around so ANGRY and constantly feel like im gonna hurt someone if they push me. Didnt used to be this way. Im no longer that chill stoic dude.
You can start after you pay off your car bro lol your mom’s letting you stay at her place, probably cooking, so you’re saving a lot of money that way as well.
I feel this message all the way I just turned 30 no family no support system couple of good friends but you know once stuff really goes down you never really know who's there for you. Been standing on my own since 19, worked multiple jobs right now I'm at security getting paid 32 an hour. It's decent but I know I want more. Got a couple speeding tickets to pay off in a relationship to get out of right now. I feel like my head is deep in the water right now but at the same time I can't wait give up because of how far I became. If I give up now it will all be a waste. Be glad you at least got your mom to go back too, I work at least 50 hours a week just to make sure I'm good and still can't enjoy life but you have to pay the price. And I definitely feel the last comment you made about hurting someone Ive been feel the same way man but it just won't fix anything at the end of the day.
Started out in Electrical, than Maintenance Management than to Real Estate Sales. The best thing for Blue collar worker's is to do, is to have a transition plan to move to white collar. You will achieve flexibility, less impact on your body and will enable networking. Amazing video mate for the young generation.
28 & 2 months years old. Not necessarily looking to change career, but more to start my own business as a software developer and make cool products. I like to watch these videos for other ideas, mindset, motivation and other learnings
Just turned 19 and moved to the US. I don’t know anyone, no relatives, friends, or connections. It’s been two months, and I’ve made no progress. I feel terrible. I’ve been rejected from jobs multiple times. My dad works two jobs just for us to get by. My friends back in my hometown are going to university, and they seem to be having a lot of fun, sometimes I feel like I'm missing out a lot. But this opportunity to be able to be here doesn't come by often, and I have to make the most of it for my dad.
Im 36, a designer and photographer. I had a production studio but these past few months have been rough. The emails and phone calls stopped coming in, and bills started stacking up. I decided to cut my expenses 80% by closing down the studio & moving back into my parents. I had it all and lost most of it. Realized that AI software and the competition are getting harder and less in demand. So I've been considering a new career path and getting into motorcycle mechanics because of my love for bikes. Also, it's an industry that will probably not be replaced. Ai will destroy most of the marketing and advertisement industry so Im just getting out now before it gets worse
Hey man 18 here started dropshipping at 17 and took it serious didn’t make money at all for 4 months and at the 5th month I made about 3k in profit and now In my 7th month I just made 1k in one day in profit but over all doing pretty good I’ll start hiring people soon too so honestly starting a bussiness is hard always up and downs but doing okay
But am going to be honest before I took it serious I was already half trying and took a long brake of not doing it but when you put your head doing and do the stuff your supposed to do doesn’t matter on what eventually you’ll figure something out
No lie man, i needed to see this. I've been thinking about getting into dropshipping but been to afraid to do it because of what I've heard about it in the past. Now im hearing stuff like this.
@@D1FFY Ngl man, from what I've heard, dropshipping isn't as big of a money-maker as back in 2016, but it's still big enough to make a decent living if you know what to do and are persistent.
How much have you spent in total throughout those 4 months in ads bro? Also how'd you figure out how to dropship? I'm just curious since I've been thinking of going down that road too.
@@D1FFY ngl some people think that is for people with out morals but at the end of the day there’s some dropshipping involved in big companies also another thing why people don’t like it is because like with any other business model your gona fail multiple times untile you don’t and that’s when you win big just gotta keep going

I’m 26. I lived in my truck traveling the US for a year and made videos for fun, mostly on TikTok. A couple months in I realized that I don’t want to be “known” in any sort of way. Now I work at an Amazon warehouse, 2,000 miles away from my hometown. I work between 40-60 hours a week, by choice, and make between $650-$1100 a week. Hoping to get my CDL soon then save up enough to go back to college for accounting, and continue putting myself into my hobbies on the side.
I’m 23 now. Completed 4 years degree for construction supervision. This year I made around 80k. I am now moving on to being a manager of my asphalt department and should be making around 100-120k next year. I love with my gf and her family for basically free, own a 300k rental property where 100k of it is payed off. Planning on putting all my money into the house so it is payed off, where I can buy my own home and have it pay itself.
I'm 21 and I work part time as a package handler at UPS, I own a SaaS business and go to North Carolina A&T for my second degree in Computer Graphics Technology. Starting a business in the Software Industry is probably one of the harder paths to take if you want to make more money faster. If you're a technical founder you will have to be glued to your desk in order to build your products and services rendered. This career path is not for the weak. It can be very challenging to find additional members for your SaaS business when just starting out. My best suggestion would be to find a small business that needs a new website or an AI chatbot/service integration.
26 started grocery store at 17 then got into blue collar around 19 worked as a roofer for a few years and got into the construction management side around 22/23 and worked my way up to an estimator/pm making 100k + salary and additional 30-80k for bonuses …been learning the corporate business world and its been a fun experience especially that my company is based in the silicon valley! Going back to school being paid by my company, finishing my bachelors in construction management. Its a journey, make a every day count!
Hold on, the $100,000 a year oil field job in alberta actually sounds tempting. I hate office/desk jobs, those are the most soul crushing jobs you can have, especially as a man. My entire family are doctors, so i’ve grown up doing receptionist work at the family practice, but i’ve always hated it. Always wanted to do stuff with more movement, like delivery driver, smoothie server, or even at a movie theater. The money never motivated me until now, when i’ve finally met my girlfriend. She comes from a poor family so i want to make six figures to support us both as well as her family. I’ve already completed half of optometry school so i’m going to finish it and become a doctor when i’m 27 (24 right now), but i already know my girlfriend is going to be the only reason why i’ll be a doctor, if i knew about the oil fields i woulda immigrated to canada by now 😭 Also unrelated but you kinda look like mr beast. You’re his multiverse counterpart who doesn’t give away the fish, but teaches how to fish
24 year old already have a degree in finance but, working as a Low Voltage Electrician for my dad. Low voltage is usually “easier on your body” and can easily be parleyed into IT work if you want to switch to white collar.
39, pivoting from a trucking career into a hvac career. Im going to let this trade take me where I need to be, just finished tech school and im been boxing the last 2 months. Im on a self improving journey that hopefully ends at a homestead in the country(my dream).
I wasn’t dealt the best cards in high school. Got my GED and went into the military. Got my GI bill and am going to school for Veterinary. If you need another choice for blue collar, go military. It was possibly the best choice I made when starting off my adult hood. It taught me leadership and gave me confidence in my self. If I could, I would make everyone go into the military😂 but that’s not the case.
Just recently turned 22. Started a dealership apprenticeship for BMW Group about 2 1/2 years ago. I started out making about $14 hourly which is minimum in my state, within the last 2 1/2 years I got a few ASE and manufacturer certs, put a lot of hard work and took the time to learn as much as I could (still do) and now I'm making $24/flag hour, I average 220 hours a month equaling almost 3 times what I was getting paid when I started. I know that amount isn't much in some places but in Southern Arizona people typically make $4k/m before taxes with a bachelors degree. All of that with solid benefits (company paid healthcare) and a consistent 40hr/wk schedule; as well as saving a ton of money on maintaining my own vehicle. Plus, if you want out you already have electrical, hvac, and plumbing experience. Blue collar is a good route.
I'm almost 19, going to college in 2 months for HVAC here in Ontario! I work out everyday so kinda excited to break my back everyday in tight spaces fixing and installing furnaces and AC units lol!

@@JustFelipeBrito I feel your pain, Felipe. If you wanna chat, let me know. Have you considered making your videos easier to click for english speaking audiences? I feel that would give you a big boost.
Im working on starting my own lawn business i have 20 lawns that i take care of and a few people that i do other lawn work for its a easy job to get into
I’m 25 and about 5-6 years into culinary. Went from fast food, to casual national chain, and now in a fine dining spot. Still not making a ton, so considering doing sales or real estate so I can get better with business skills. I want my own restaurants, so this path seems worth it at 25 with no big debts or bills.
26 working at a restaurant and desperate to end this cycle of bland lower paying jobs, working all the time and still barely making it. Been playing guitar for 15 years and playing music is my best skill but it’s def hard to make money playing and making music that I actually like. Currently looking into remote/home based jobs that pay well enough to support myself. Gonna start learning about email copywriting this weekend on my off time.
Tbh, I have given plenty of guitar lessons. Usually charge $50-60/h. $40 if I kinda know you already. But they don’t last because most people give up playing completely after the maybe the 3rd lesson. Guitar sounds cool to them till they realize how hard it is to get good at it then they give up which puts me out of a job. My absolute dream would be to produce soundtrack type music for games/movies but I’ve already blown so much money buying guitars and other music equipment that I can’t afford everything and need something now that I know I’ll be able to depend on at least for 2-3 years. Music is so hard to really be successful in so that thought always tells me I need something else reliable to fall back on.
I’m 17, graduating high school this year with enough credits to be a junior in college and working a minimum wage job 25 hours a week. I’ve decided to major in accounting and political science. My goal is to be a lawyer. Thanks for making this video btw, very informative!
I’m 27. I’m in sales right now. One of the best skills that you can have is communication. Because it will open so many doors👌🏻 Currently trying to transition into an online appointment setter. Then after I mastered that skill, online closer. Denmo amazing video!🔥 this should open a lot of eyes. Just because it’s hard, doesn’t mean it’s not worth it.
thank you bro, i'm 18 and still don't know what to do because future seems to be a mess... my contract at the company i worked for ended and now i can't find a new job so i'm looking for something i could do: social media manager, designer, video editor and things like this. i'm not hopeful but i need to keep trying right? anyways i like so much the way you talk to the camera, surely an inspiration for clear communication
Dude I’m in the same situation, 18, I got in a deadly car crash and was in hospital for 3 weeks during senior year, I destroyed my right leg by T-boning a truck and recovered during the end of that year through PT and A bit of metal in there, worked 5 jobs through my entire high school years and rose ranks, dishwasher at a bottomless restaurant to a busser and more at a country club, but after the crash I just stopped working and now as I fully recovered I’m trying to find a job such as online work that involves enjoying it rather then slaving away, something I’d enjoy, video editor, music producer, entrepreneur, drop shipping, forex, sales, so much more, I just don’t know exactly how to genuinely start and get off my feet but I keep seeing all these videos and am trying to find my way
I’m 32. I’m an airline pilot. At 26, I started a 4 on 4 off job day shift/night shift (12 hr). I’d go to the local flight school on days off for lessons and this took over 3 years. Am still paying off a 20K student loan but it is interest free because it’s a national loan. I also took online university classes for a diploma but got the job early so I didn’t have to finish the diploma - I can still finish it if I wanted. The grand total cost for flight training was 68K CAD, so about 48K USD. Many flight colleges now charge 100-150K so if you can find a local mom and pop shop flight school, your return on investment into yourself will be high if you have a passion for aviation, and, if you get into the airlines, you’ll have a lucrative career ahead.
I’m 17, just started my apprenticeships as a bricklayer. The last year I have mainly focused on gettting some licens such as hunting and driving. I also earned a Cambridge certificate (really useful if you want to work in a English speaking country as an immigrant) I’m interested in building websites and refreshing old ones to local and mid cap construction companies. Because there not competition for it where I live. My main problem is that I am way more interested in sales and customer relations than building the websites so I’m planning on finding a partner. Keep your head up kings.
I’m gonna do this exactly as you say and share my results. Edit: Never mind I fought you were going to be more specific. I’ll try to start a TH-cam channel then.
I’m 21 and I’m a flight attendant. Still doing this. 8k saved for now. I feel like I want more. I did TH-cam for a while but then stopped. Thinking of starting it again.
27 married with a beautiful wife and a kid. Recently laid off from a sales job. Want to make good money selling, and have a business one day. This video is so simple. Thank you
57. Starting all over again, as I only make minimum wage & can only get casual work. Some weeks I only get 7-12 hors work 😬 around Xmas I get about 25hours. I’m single now, can’t afford rent etc.
What would be super interesting is if you set everything you have aside and actually started again. I remember some dude on TH-cam who gave everything away and started again as homeless trying to make his way up. If I remember the story correctly though he gave up half way through.
ive done it a couple times already and the juice isn't worth the squeeze (as in like, filming it or doing it as an experiment doesnt have much interest or ROI)
I'm 30. About to get my accounting degree. Also learning how to make videos. Writing scripts, recording footage, and basic editing. I just started, but I'm enjoying the process and the creative outlet. We'll see where it goes.
27, graduated in business administration, working on International Logistics. I am from Brazil, so it may be a big deal here, but I haven't that quality of life an average American guy can have. I do want to start an youtube channel, I just have to find something I'm deeply passionated about. I'm studying Russian, reading a lot of books, working once a week as a volunteer librarian at my local community. I discovered this channel like a week ago. I'm pretty sure everyone can make wonderful things and thrive, it's just about keep passionate about your work. Life is like music, you don't spend it just waiting it to end, you should enjoy every moment. A big thank you, your videos are awesome.
i was 18, i had a fan cleaner, a multipurpose spray and some cloths in hand from the store. i knocked on 20 doors one day, had a chat with 1 customer and sold 10 dollars to clean the backyard fan, that was the best feeling i ever had in the "entrepenure catagory" My mind had a misconception that nobody would hire me, so i need to make my own money. But that was false, it was because i didnt have the sales skills to sell myself to a hiring manager of the value i could provide to their company in an interview. For the people who dont feel like getting up, just get up and wash the dishes, for those that dont know what to do, find something you can offer then check if there is a need in your area or online, and offer it again and again. Do people own cars around you? scrounge some money together, buy a car window cleaner, microfibre cloths, watch pan the organisers video on how to do it then ask around if people need their car windows done up.
17 and studying cybersecurity. I will get my AA and hopefully most of my tuition off by senior year, which puts me in a good position but the prospect of AI is starting to worry me. All of this could go to naught in the next 5 years with the exponential growth API’s pose, and all that schooling I had would go to nothing. By most estimates, AI will achieve superintelligence by the year 2027, and if members in the industry do not adapt humans will ultimately become obsolete for most services. If you are currently doing schooling for cyber or are building your portfolio of certifications, I strongly, *strongly* suggest you pursue at least one cert like MS AI before the shift occurs. This industry comes with two provisions- to make money and to save money for a company. Corporations will stop at nothing to ensure profits are maximized above all else, so it’s in best interest to adapt to this migration before it’s too late.
23, currently working as a union carpenter. I have a wife a daughter and a puppy, I make good money but not enough to be where I want. I’m currently trying to buy a house and I’d like to learn more about how to make money/budget so thank you for your video
I'm 21. Did remodeling full time from 16 to 19. Tried Walmart, lame af, tried running CNC machines for a sign company, lame af, then I applied for a job at a car audio store as an installer. And I absolutely excelled. Within 3 months I became manager and the installer at a location, I do what used to be two jobs and get compensated for it. Now the job did still require me to have another employee, but the budget was low because of how much they are paying me. So we hired a female to answer the phones and babysit customers on the sales floor while I did the installs. I do a lot of back and forth from the shop to the sales floor because I handle both jobs and it gets a bit stressful, but I make more money than any friends I have my age. Electrical is definitely a great way to go. As a musician that works in a car audio store, I'm super close to doing exactly what I want. I'd like to be in the music production industry, but I'll definitely get there once I build up some savings! This guys advice is top tier guys. If your not in the discord or Skool group you are definitely missing out 👏👏👏 Also Denmo, dig this video style! Keep it up 👍
Also if interested, my job goes both ways. I get sales commission, install commissions, and a base salary that pretty much comes out to $50 a day before tax. But I hustle 6 days a week and do side jobs on Sunday. Do it while your young fellas, it's a lot worse struggling when you're old and ugly than it is when you're young, handsome, and able. Easy youth, hard adulthood Hard youth, easy adulthood. Same concept as how our world works: Weak men create bad times, bad times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men.
25, 3rd year of dental school. Always wanted to be a dentist since I was a kid, very excited to graduate and have a positive impact in the health of people's lives 😁
Only Jesus saves from hell (Acts 4:12 KJV). Jesus Christ died for our sins, was buried and rose again the third day (1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV). Jesus Christ shed His blood for our sins (Ephesians 1:7 KJV). Water baptism DOESN'T save us (1 Corinthians 1:17 KJV). We are saved by grace through faith, not our works (Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV).
Why do you guys always have to list the part of the book where it says something? I'm pretty sure a TH-cam comment section isn't where someone is gonna read your comment and go, "Wow, you know what, I'm just gonna drop everything and convert". I get you're trying to help, but a lot of denominations go about it the wrong way. This is why people think Christians are in a cult, bc you sound like it.
Hey I’m 20, I’m currently a boilermaker apprentice, being union is pretty sweet I’m getting lots of experience welding and turning wrenches I’m 6 months in and have already helped build 2 water tanks, one being 105ft tall and the other being 150ft. I also have worked a paper mill shutdown, and chlorine plant shutdown. These both consisted of 5 12 hour days. Once you get done with a job you get laid off and gain unemployment. Onto the next after that. I enjoy using my body and getting into the shit because I’ve been working landscaping and manual labor since I was 9 years old. Honestly I believe this is a great career and if anyone is looking to get into it, and make good money I highly recommend.
i'm 21 working at the bank. I am learning a lot about life and the economy. Seeing the do's and donts from the customers. It's been a year so far and i'm already catching onto the hourly pay. I used to be in sales when i was 20. Currently i am open to my situation and plan to learn more and more. I have a clothing business i am starting up, mainly for business experience. I know i have entrepreneurial energy. May God direct:)
I’m 20 making 120k a year, I’m switching from laborer over to plant mechanic/electrical, blue collar can be amazing if you are tough enough, longggg hours, 80 to 120 hours a week, long periods away from home. And lots of caffeine. I don’t plan on doing this for life but might as well do it now, I’m young and ambitious. study later and be able to pay off student loans in full.
Another avenue into white collar / medical if you need college but don't have scholarship or rich parents is the military. Bonus points if you get an MOS that is transferrable to the civilian world.
31 years old, started roofing at 28 because it was the only industry hiring during covid, and I was completely broke. Started at 25$ per hr, now I'm at 40/h and it's made a complete man out of me. I didnt understand that concept until i started showing up for myself everyday regardlessof how tired i felt. I recommend you take good care of yourself health wise when entering any blue collar job. I regret not starting earlier and highly recommend anyone that's "still figuring out" what you wanna do in life to learn a blue collar trade minimum. You'll either hate it so much you'll make up your mind faster or become a highly skilled tradesman.
Just turned 23, living in an apt and making $32 an hour working for the rail road. I recently started a side job doing credit repair and have 1 car getting rented out by one of my buddies (I pay him a small percentage of what the car makes) who wants to grow a fleet of cars to rent out. I plan to eventually take over my cars in the near future but for now it helps both of us. Although my current “9-5” is not a physically straining job I don’t wanna clock in for 12 hours a day 5 days a week for the rest of my life. I also have another close friend, technically a business partner, who just got his dealer license and will let me purchase cars under his license. Pretty much to flip auction cars for cash. I have not invested into that just yet due to not having enough funds ( cause I was reckless with my money and have barely stated saving for emergency money) but once I have all my pins lined up I will get that going too.
I’m 28, went to college, got my bachelors in business management and my schooling paid off. I blew through my savings after graduating and I hate my current 9-5. I’ve picked up a 2nd job doing deliveries and paying down my consumer debt with $14K left to pay off. I now care about being financially literate and despise debt. My dream would be to own my own business and make a living where I can make enough to set aside to save and invest for the future. I’ve already been thinking about going the trades route as an electrician. I have my mortgage brokers license but the interest rates are terrible right now. I may take a health care recruiters role (salary + commissions) and hopefully I can learn and gain skills and make enough to save to pay for trades school. I’m glad I came across this video! I’ve been feeling very uncertain about what path to take.

I'm 40. About six years ago, I quit my corporate job that I hated. Started my own business. I have saved up about 45k before I quit though. Then when I did quit, I cut my expenses down to basically nothing. I mean if it wasn't a necessity, it was cut. I went into business for myself. Toughest craziest thing I've ever done in my life. And to be honest, the first two years, I didn't make any money, or very little. But my third year, I was down to my last thousand dollars or so, end my business took off. Now I just hit my six year anniversary and I've paid myself about 300k this year so far. Best thing I ever did. Crazy but thank God every day I left that corporate job.

Im 27, make $21 per hour driving a box truck. Got 70k in stocks, 40k in crypto and a turo rental business with 10 cars i own. No debt or nothing.
Sounds like u need to quit your box truck job and invest your time more into your Turo or crypto.
@Djmedic23 the turo makes about what I make at the day job. So right now it kinda makes more sense to have both so I can scale the turo fleet quicker. Once I reach about 20 cars I'll probably consider quitting. But with the full time job I get good insurance, 401k match and HSA with a match plus company stocks and profit share so it's a pretty good job. I'll probably stay for 5 years till I'm fully vested in the stock program then depending where I'm at do the turo full time and start looking at investing into real estate.
@@antmydude236 how were you able to save that much in stocks in crypto even if your portfolio doubled thats still about 50k saved
stocks & crypto*
@@treyt6442 I lived with my parents till I was 19, then I moved in with my girlfriend and her dad, it was kinda awkward and not very comfortable but I made it work and was willing to sacrifice to get where I wanted to be. Rent/mortgage is the biggest expense most people make so without that I was able to put away most of my paychecks. I also drove a cheap $2k car paid in cash until I saved up enough to buy a $5k car in cash and sold the other car for the same I bought it for. Basically just lots of sacrifices so I could save as much money as possible. In 2020 I started making some blogging websites and made about $30k after 3 years. I did a little doordashing too and probably made around $7-8k doing that.
I’m 17 and just starting my plumbing apprenticeship this video helped me a lot, I ran a lawn mowing business with my friend in the summer and made a little over 5k I plan on running that in the summer building it and making it into a actual business, and working towards my master plumber at the same time.
Your doing a lot better than me, I was running a car detailing business summer as well but didn't get as much clients as I wanted so I gave up on that and right now working for my dad he owns his own business 💪🏼
Keep it up. Plumbers will never go out of style
Plumbing is top! Good job
I guarantee with your work ethic and your age you’ll probably be a millionaire before 25
@Motivation.Mindset00 That's awesome, dude! Make sure to save up and invest some of that money as soon as you turn 18
24 now, no job, $5k to my name and a couple motorcycles I’m selling for another $5k.
At 22 I had $35k saved, had earned $100k the previous year at my job. I got laid off.
I feel like I’m starting over again. Feel younger, I feel like I know more, and was able to take time to focus on other things I do not regret spending time on and that’s a difference than some other years of my life so far that I do regret.
Going into 2025 new. Best of luck kings out there
Good luck man Similar story to me you got this you were able to save 35k you will be able to do it again and more this time

I am 28, I started blue collar with an insulation company at 18. I made 17$ hourly for 3 months installing fiberglass, then I took on the opportunity to work for piece rate which was getting paid for what I install per sq ft. Because I was working my balls off with a good attitude they promoted me to blown in cellulose installation and I started averaging around 33$/hr on piece rate. After a few more months I was offered an opportunity to spray foam insulation. I made 6 figures spraying closed cell spray foam on piece rate for 5 years straight and was able to start and fund 2 businesses in my mid twenties. I now run a gym and an online mentorship and have full freedom over my location and time.
U did it bro🔥 now I’m 20 just graduated I’m at the low level
Legend. You did it bro.

I'll be 21 in 2 days. I'm an entrepreneur. I'm terrified of being an employee. Even if it's a $200k+ salary. My parents are employees and I've listened to them complain about their jobs my entire childhood. I realized at a young age I didn't want to follow in their footsteps and share their burden of being employees. I want financial independence, time freedom, and location freedom.
Happy Birthday Bro! Don't let being an employee scare you too much. I know a guy around your age who had a similar view. He avoided working traditional jobs so much that he ended up getting his bank info and his identity stolen. Don't let that mindset push you into any get-rich-quick schemes and scams.
Happy bday dude
Happy birthday bro. My gift to you is a book recommendation. Check out Millionaire Fastlane by MJ Demarco. It’s breakdown what makes a business successful and how to copy. The rewards don’t come without sacrifice. This book will give you the keys to becoming a successful entrepreneur
Everyone works for someone man. Unless your out here scamming people like the crypto guy
Go be an employee bro. On your off time work on your side business til it makes as much as your main job. Then you can think of nicely leaving your job.

I’m 18 years old, just graduated from high school and I decided to go into work full time, I work under a construction manager and I’m learning as much as possible right now, I make $15 an hour but my boss just bought me a truck and I’m paying it off to him
I’m not sure exactly what I want to do but I try to stay positive and motivated and I put a lot of thought into it everyday.
As soon as I choose what I really want to do I’m gonna go at it like I never have for anything else and I am very excited.
Ngl you should learn as much as possible and buddy up to that project manager. If he can teach you his skills being a project manager is good money
identical situation. You gotta ask for metrics for raises. Start bringing project managment up but dont ask directly. ask your project managers question all day every day. be the yes man.
I'm 22, just graduated with two undergrad degrees, and I'm working in Compensation. I'm learning Data Analytics on my own time and plan to leverage that with my experience in what I'm doing now to get a higher salary later. Hopefully down the line I can get into consulting, but I need to focus on acquiring skills right now.
Biggest thing you can do is learn! It never stops after schooling, just watch TH-cam tutorials to get going. The hardest part is getting started, and just doing that will put you in the top 1%. We can get through this bros, thanks Denmo!
Good for you. I'm 38, finished professional coursework for 2 in demand fields and will study data analytics in future. Working at a deadend steward job now (did the role 6 times before and it's unfulfilling and tedious as hell and pay isn't that great) and will work on redoing my LinkedIn and starting my job search next week for the professional certification I earned recently so I can continue forward with continuing to build my envisioned life and continue to build my vision since I'm focusing on becoming the best version of myself. I'm also putting aside funds to get my place (1 bed 1 bath apartment) with also getting my own internet since right now, I'm living with roommates and can only get internet when I head to local library

Im 22 and graduated recently as well with a major in data analytics, make sure you focus on projects. projects. projects. Once you have learned the skill and can complete projects on your own, focus on networking. You’ll land a 6 figure gig in no time
Also look for companies that give you stock compensation, that is what will allow to retire early
I wish blue collar wouldn’t criticise white collar either. They underestimate how much work it takes sometimes to be white collar. It’s mental energy vs physical, very real thing.
It can also get physical when the mental is depleted
God bless you bro❤

I am 25. Worked in the medical field for ~6 years as a technologist doing electronics repair and software development. I did it for the money, which was good, but realized I wasn’t well suited for the lifestyle of sitting at a computer all day. I’m starting a new career as an electrician in two days. Working as an apprentice under my older brother at his company, just me and him. It pays less than half as much as I was making before, but I love the work and the environment. It will take a few years to start earning a solid amount again, but will be worth it in the long run.
Im in the start of my apprenticeship now and am enjoying it. Good luck

@@zekealmeida4453 got a BS in computer science then like i mentioned i worked for a small company for 3 years while doing so i lived at home to save money (still do). I also saved probably between 45% to 65% of my pay during those 3 years. my expenses are not that high due to living at home and not going out that much, this was probably the thing that has helped me so far since i have enough money saved to the point where even if i dont find more work i am fine financially. i did not leave my job until i started getting work on the side and became profitable, i honestly wish i could have done both longer but since my job was in person there was only so much i could do on the side, a remote position would be easier to do both.
The biggest thing is previous work experience, this helps with client relations and also just knowledge how a company runs. you can do this right out of college but it would be a lot harder and you would not have as much money saved up, the experience clients are looking for and also just the general knowledge on business operations that comes from working somewhere. It is not impossible, but a lot more difficult.
TLDR: got college degree, worked for someone for 3 years saved as much money as possible, learned as much as i could, started business, after business became profitable left old job, now work for myself
Nice fam fr 🎉
@ Working as a SE rn, hows the consukting thing looking like?
@@placeholder4988 so far so good. i had some work lined up before i left and now referrals have kept me busy. it is an adjustment but it is worth it if you can keep yourself motivated and are willing to put in the work.
i started working in a carwash when i was 16, i worked there for four years, i’m 20 now and left the carwash to become a 1099 contractor. i gained sales and leadership skills while working in the carwash and i now sell solar and make quintuple what i made in the car wash after only a month. if you can handle the pressure and like talking to people, become a salesperson.
hey i kinda started out the same i’m 24 and do pest control sales it’s a bit more of lower ticket but a lot less stress and more sales to make. have you considered pest control D2D or thought about it ?
@@marshallgonzaba i have considered it, i may still if i end up wanting to leave solar yk
23 and in the military. I started as an EMT 2 years ago and then got into COMPSCI and electronics, and now in the military.
I should’ve listened to my mom earlier. She told me to do something I’m good at and make money so I can fund something I love. I started late but I’m happy I started. I am on a journey and want to do things with my hands and computer software/hardware/firmware after I’m done. Also, TRAVEL! I traveled and it was fun internationally! Be a back packer. It’s a motivation.
I’m 19 and I’ve been in HVAC for 8 months now just delivering parts. Thanks for the video, this gives me more confidence with the path I’m going on.
Is it worth it
Is it?
keep going. i’m 31 and worked for a supply house for 6 years and just landed an apprentice position because i knew all the parts
18, been doing door to door sales for the past 2 weeks selling solar. Haven’t gotten any sales yet but we’ll get there. Living and learning.
Get outta there asap😂
Hey nico I was doing roofing sales over the summer D2D I didn’t even work as hard either had a few weeks where I made $1200-2000 easily working maybe 30 hours i would suggest working for a company that specializes in insurance restoration
also selling yourself is 🔑 people will judge you so being presentable and professional at doors always worked for me and i’m a black man I worked under the best seller at my company so watching him helped me a lot
25, HVAC mechanical engineer. Denmo is right, starting a solid foundation with a skilled job is the best way to go for many. Just now starting my TH-cam channel.
best foundation
Guys, don't be afraid to get into blue collar work. I've been an executive for years, and the electrical guys can make the same money if not more. Better yet, its less stressful because you're just dealing with wiring, etc. The more you have to deal with people in your job, shit that can talk back to you, you're going to get fucking drained. Believe me.
PS- Choose a job thats healthy stress, not something that becomes chronic stress. It's better for your mental health, and you can go home and enjoy your family easier.
It can be pretty stressful when dealing with 600 amps.. knowing that a slip could kill you definitely makes your balls sweat.
Me going into real estate 💀
Grass is greener on the other side bro, if you're a halfway worthwhile journeyman you're gonna be stressed as fuck dealing with the other trades, the general contractor, timelines, budget, materials etc. You will be performing office and paper/email work WHILE DOING "BLUE COLLAR" LABOR TOO. And the idea that you're "just wiring" it's never just wiring. How does the wire get there? How does wire get into the building? How do you build a system following the strict code rules so that it doesn't blow up and kill someone? How do we program this fire alarm system that also shuts off the air intake so the flour factory doesn't blow up? It's not all putting up lights all day.
This is a real one video about a pathway of money.
Hvac guy here. Went to apex tech for air conditioning. After a few years got my refrigeration operators license in nyc. Now I’m a stationary engineer in a large hospital and I make 107k base with plenty overtime.
I’m 26 and been doing hvac for almost 6 years and I’ll tell you right now at first it’s hard work and you will do the dirt job but you will get into better positions.. I’ve made a lot of money doing this and I’ve had a job consistently even through Covid !! At days I hate this job but most of the time it’s fun and rewarding!
I'm 27. Graduated with a degree in "recording arts" for music and audio. After getting out of school, I started studying video production on my own time and used both skills to start my own company. Combined that with buying a duplex and lived in one half and rented the other half to basically live rent free with so much free time. Company fizzled out after covid and I sold the duplex for a profit and moved across the country. Became irresponsible with my money/time so now I'm restarting. Currently working a white collar 9-5 job doing video editing and need to find a way out back to freedom and self-employment.
I also graduated with degree in recording engineering but can’t find a job also I was at a studio that I felt miserable at then left
Denmo, can we talk? You’re hitting the nail on the head. I’m 27 and you understand this shit to a T. I’d love to set up a 10 minute call, you are the fucking man
I’m 21, turning 22 tomorrow. Currently I work for my friends landscaping and yard work business and have tried a number of jobs that I hated since graduating high school. I completed 2 years of community college but have no idea what I would study if I took debt to get into a university. I feel so lost in what direction I want to head into for a career. Seeing my mom struggle to provide even when she busts her ass everyday really makes me nervous about making the wrong decision for a career. I’ve always dreamed of having my own business but have no clue where to begin or what to sell. I know whenever I find what it is I want, I’ll throw myself into head first. I’ve thought of making videos online but am admittedly scared of failing and wasting my time. My goal for this next of my life is to find something I’m passionate about and good it and find out ways to make money out of it. Thx to anyone reading
Remember WHY you're doing, and stick to it. You got this bro, things take time
Hey man, first I wanna say, Happy Birthday and I hope you enjoy it. But I read your comment and just wanted to share how I feel like I'm nearly in the exact same boat as you. I feel like I don't what my passion is but I really wanna figure it out to get started in a career I enjoy asap. As for the youtube thing, if you ever think about trying it again, I would say what helped me is try not to be afraid. No one is laughing at you if you fail and if you do fail just try, try again. You've made a lot of mistakes before but they didnt stop you from learning, improving, and trying once more. (damn I should really follow my own advice). Much love fam
I think this is from Baki or something but it's a line that sticks with me.
"In order to kill you must be afraid to not die"
So whatever it is man put your all In it. Dont think about the money at first, start using creativity, by that I mean think of what you like, think how it could be improved, and then think about how it could be turned into a business.
Instead of thinking of how to create a profitable business and what to sell.
Truly though, no matter the research you never know until you get your hands dirty.
I'm 20, getting ready to be 21 in April. If I could do it all again, I would go back to Jobcorps go to a trade I would actually like and go to college through them.
You can still go until you're 23-25 I believe.
Fall in love with the journey, manifest what you truly, and I mean truly want in life and believe in it as though you'll die without it.
If you ever wanna talk lmk what platform your on
26. Started in trades. I did framing for a couple years and saved up money to go to med school. Got my nursing degree right when COVID hit. Ruined the industry and absolutely hated nursing for the next three years. Now transitioned into sales and marketing. I am working on a plan to become financially free and then time free.
I'm 21 years old and a realtor. Been doing sales since 17. I warn everybody to know exactly what you're getting into, if you choose real estate. I'm soon quitting and pursuing something in the IT sphere, I sincerely hope to enjoy this more.
Also 21, I pursued cyber security but after spending 15 hrs a day behind a screen it put me off, I’m now an engineer lol
@@cloudonyt8886what kind of engineering are you getting into?
Im 24 I got out of the military a few years ago and have been cutting grass and installing underground dog fences since then but recently I found a free course in my area where they teach u the bare basics of pluming, hvac, electrical, or carpentry and then at the end theres a job fair and i immediately got hired because i was nice and worked hard during the course and the instructors recommended me and i start my new electrical job next week😎
You always shout out firefighters. Good on ya. For those lost looking for a greater purpose, take courses towards becoming a career firefighter. With ample time off you can attack any of the three of these options. With a paycheque and pension backing you. Cheers
yep im a firefighter now and currently trying to find something else that pays good for my off days
But isn’t that industry really competitive?
21 years old, hvac service tech living with parents now a 4th year apprentice. Ive already got 100k+ saved/invested. Blue collar is the perfect way to go to build a base in a situation like mine.
27 in KY. Making $21 an hour 40 hours a week. No overtime at the moment. Broke off a 5 year relationship with a girl i had a shitty apartment with. Let her have the apartment so she wouldnt be homeless. Moved in with my mother who i love but living in a nasty home with her as a grown ass man is beyond frustrating and embarrassing. Up to my eyeballs in monthy payments for my car, dental bills, and insurance. No money or time to just run out and do "HVAC" or other trades, like you suggested here. You just need like "$5K" you said. Yeahh, thats not doable lmao not unless i want to lose my car and job. This advice is good for people who have a support system, or family with money. I have neither. I just feel stuck and i walk around so ANGRY and constantly feel like im gonna hurt someone if they push me. Didnt used to be this way. Im no longer that chill stoic dude.
How’s Kentucky?
Meditate and do sport bruh, you’ll figure it out. Every body handles his cross you’re not alone
You can start after you pay off your car bro lol your mom’s letting you stay at her place, probably cooking, so you’re saving a lot of money that way as well.
I feel this message all the way I just turned 30 no family no support system couple of good friends but you know once stuff really goes down you never really know who's there for you. Been standing on my own since 19, worked multiple jobs right now I'm at security getting paid 32 an hour. It's decent but I know I want more. Got a couple speeding tickets to pay off in a relationship to get out of right now. I feel like my head is deep in the water right now but at the same time I can't wait give up because of how far I became. If I give up now it will all be a waste. Be glad you at least got your mom to go back too, I work at least 50 hours a week just to make sure I'm good and still can't enjoy life but you have to pay the price. And I definitely feel the last comment you made about hurting someone Ive been feel the same way man but it just won't fix anything at the end of the day.

Amazing video mate for the young generation.
28 & 2 months years old. Not necessarily looking to change career, but more to start my own business as a software developer and make cool products.
I like to watch these videos for other ideas, mindset, motivation and other learnings
Just turned 19 and moved to the US. I don’t know anyone, no relatives, friends, or connections. It’s been two months, and I’ve made no progress. I feel terrible. I’ve been rejected from jobs multiple times. My dad works two jobs just for us to get by. My friends back in my hometown are going to university, and they seem to be having a lot of fun, sometimes I feel like I'm missing out a lot. But this opportunity to be able to be here doesn't come by often, and I have to make the most of it for my dad.
Im 36, a designer and photographer. I had a production studio but these past few months have been rough. The emails and phone calls stopped coming in, and bills started stacking up. I decided to cut my expenses 80% by closing down the studio & moving back into my parents. I had it all and lost most of it. Realized that AI software and the competition are getting harder and less in demand. So I've been considering a new career path and getting into motorcycle mechanics because of my love for bikes. Also, it's an industry that will probably not be replaced.
Ai will destroy most of the marketing and advertisement industry so Im just getting out now before it gets worse
Hey man 18 here started dropshipping at 17 and took it serious didn’t make money at all for 4 months and at the 5th month I made about 3k in profit and now In my 7th month I just made 1k in one day in profit but over all doing pretty good I’ll start hiring people soon too so honestly starting a bussiness is hard always up and downs but doing okay
But am going to be honest before I took it serious I was already half trying and took a long brake of not doing it but when you put your head doing and do the stuff your supposed to do doesn’t matter on what eventually you’ll figure something out
No lie man, i needed to see this. I've been thinking about getting into dropshipping but been to afraid to do it because of what I've heard about it in the past. Now im hearing stuff like this.
@@D1FFY Ngl man, from what I've heard, dropshipping isn't as big of a money-maker as back in 2016, but it's still big enough to make a decent living if you know what to do and are persistent.
How much have you spent in total throughout those 4 months in ads bro? Also how'd you figure out how to dropship? I'm just curious since I've been thinking of going down that road too.
@@D1FFY ngl some people think that is for people with out morals but at the end of the day there’s some dropshipping involved in big companies also another thing why people don’t like it is because like with any other business model your gona fail multiple times untile you don’t and that’s when you win big just gotta keep going
27 I work in engineering (no degree only OTJ training) making 200+K a year & I drive an 05 Camry. Stop buying crap to empress other people focus on gathering GOOD debt. I’ll be at a point when I can retire whenever I want soon. Learn a valuable skill & absolutely be relentless in learning everything you can. Read read read read & read. Pay your debts off & save money you’ll have more power soon trust me. I wish I started at 18. GL
What field are you in for engineering that allows a salary like that with no degree?

I’m 26. I lived in my truck traveling the US for a year and made videos for fun, mostly on TikTok. A couple months in I realized that I don’t want to be “known” in any sort of way. Now I work at an Amazon warehouse, 2,000 miles away from my hometown. I work between 40-60 hours a week, by choice, and make between $650-$1100 a week. Hoping to get my CDL soon then save up enough to go back to college for accounting, and continue putting myself into my hobbies on the side.
I’m 23 now. Completed 4 years degree for construction supervision. This year I made around 80k. I am now moving on to being a manager of my asphalt department and should be making around 100-120k next year. I love with my gf and her family for basically free, own a 300k rental property where 100k of it is payed off. Planning on putting all my money into the house so it is payed off, where I can buy my own home and have it pay itself.
I'm 21 and I work part time as a package handler at UPS, I own a SaaS business and go to North Carolina A&T for my second degree in Computer Graphics Technology. Starting a business in the Software Industry is probably one of the harder paths to take if you want to make more money faster. If you're a technical founder you will have to be glued to your desk in order to build your products and services rendered. This career path is not for the weak. It can be very challenging to find additional members for your SaaS business when just starting out. My best suggestion would be to find a small business that needs a new website or an AI chatbot/service integration.
26 started grocery store at 17 then got into blue collar around 19 worked as a roofer for a few years and got into the construction management side around 22/23 and worked my way up to an estimator/pm making 100k + salary and additional 30-80k for bonuses …been learning the corporate business world and its been a fun experience especially that my company is based in the silicon valley! Going back to school being paid by my company, finishing my bachelors in construction management. Its a journey, make a every day count!
How did you get into the construction management side?
Hold on, the $100,000 a year oil field job in alberta actually sounds tempting. I hate office/desk jobs, those are the most soul crushing jobs you can have, especially as a man. My entire family are doctors, so i’ve grown up doing receptionist work at the family practice, but i’ve always hated it. Always wanted to do stuff with more movement, like delivery driver, smoothie server, or even at a movie theater. The money never motivated me until now, when i’ve finally met my girlfriend. She comes from a poor family so i want to make six figures to support us both as well as her family.
I’ve already completed half of optometry school so i’m going to finish it and become a doctor when i’m 27 (24 right now), but i already know my girlfriend is going to be the only reason why i’ll be a doctor, if i knew about the oil fields i woulda immigrated to canada by now 😭

39, pivoting from a trucking career into a hvac career. Im going to let this trade take me where I need to be, just finished tech school and im been boxing the last 2 months. Im on a self improving journey that hopefully ends at a homestead in the country(my dream).
I wasn’t dealt the best cards in high school. Got my GED and went into the military. Got my GI bill and am going to school for Veterinary. If you need another choice for blue collar, go military. It was possibly the best choice I made when starting off my adult hood. It taught me leadership and gave me confidence in my self. If I could, I would make everyone go into the military😂 but that’s not the case.
Military has been a game changer for me
Just recently turned 22. Started a dealership apprenticeship for BMW Group about 2 1/2 years ago. I started out making about $14 hourly which is minimum in my state, within the last 2 1/2 years I got a few ASE and manufacturer certs, put a lot of hard work and took the time to learn as much as I could (still do) and now I'm making $24/flag hour, I average 220 hours a month equaling almost 3 times what I was getting paid when I started. I know that amount isn't much in some places but in Southern Arizona people typically make $4k/m before taxes with a bachelors degree. All of that with solid benefits (company paid healthcare) and a consistent 40hr/wk schedule; as well as saving a ton of money on maintaining my own vehicle. Plus, if you want out you already have electrical, hvac, and plumbing experience. Blue collar is a good route.

I’m 25 and about 5-6 years into culinary. Went from fast food, to casual national chain, and now in a fine dining spot. Still not making a ton, so considering doing sales or real estate so I can get better with business skills. I want my own restaurants, so this path seems worth it at 25 with no big debts or bills.
26 working at a restaurant and desperate to end this cycle of bland lower paying jobs, working all the time and still barely making it. Been playing guitar for 15 years and playing music is my best skill but it’s def hard to make money playing and making music that I actually like. Currently looking into remote/home based jobs that pay well enough to support myself. Gonna start learning about email copywriting this weekend on my off time.
Why not re-prioritise how you spend your time when you’re not working at a restaurant and offer guitar lessons
Teach. If you're really good you can make at least 50 bucks off an hour of lessons.
Not good lie, 15 years of knowledge/skill playing the guitar is A LOT to not share to folks in need of a teacher
Tbh, I have given plenty of guitar lessons. Usually charge $50-60/h. $40 if I kinda know you already. But they don’t last because most people give up playing completely after the maybe the 3rd lesson. Guitar sounds cool to them till they realize how hard it is to get good at it then they give up which puts me out of a job. My absolute dream would be to produce soundtrack type music for games/movies but I’ve already blown so much money buying guitars and other music equipment that I can’t afford everything and need something now that I know I’ll be able to depend on at least for 2-3 years. Music is so hard to really be successful in so that thought always tells me I need something else reliable to fall back on.
I’m 17, graduating high school this year with enough credits to be a junior in college and working a minimum wage job 25 hours a week. I’ve decided to major in accounting and political science. My goal is to be a lawyer. Thanks for making this video btw, very informative!

Dude I’m in the same situation, 18, I got in a deadly car crash and was in hospital for 3 weeks during senior year, I destroyed my right leg by T-boning a truck and recovered during the end of that year through PT and A bit of metal in there, worked 5 jobs through my entire high school years and rose ranks, dishwasher at a bottomless restaurant to a busser and more at a country club, but after the crash I just stopped working and now as I fully recovered I’m trying to find a job such as online work that involves enjoying it rather then slaving away, something I’d enjoy, video editor, music producer, entrepreneur, drop shipping, forex, sales, so much more, I just don’t know exactly how to genuinely start and get off my feet but I keep seeing all these videos and am trying to find my way
I’m 32. I’m an airline pilot. At 26, I started a 4 on 4 off job day shift/night shift (12 hr). I’d go to the local flight school on days off for lessons and this took over 3 years. Am still paying off a 20K student loan but it is interest free because it’s a national loan. I also took online university classes for a diploma but got the job early so I didn’t have to finish the diploma - I can still finish it if I wanted. The grand total cost for flight training was 68K CAD, so about 48K USD. Many flight colleges now charge 100-150K so if you can find a local mom and pop shop flight school, your return on investment into yourself will be high if you have a passion for aviation, and, if you get into the airlines, you’ll have a lucrative career ahead.

I’m 17, just started my apprenticeships as a bricklayer. The last year I have mainly focused on gettting some licens such as hunting and driving. I also earned a Cambridge certificate (really useful if you want to work in a English speaking country as an immigrant) I’m interested in building websites and refreshing old ones to local and mid cap construction companies. Because there not competition for it where I live. My main problem is that I am way more interested in sales and customer relations than building the websites so I’m planning on finding a partner. Keep your head up kings.
I’m gonna do this exactly as you say and share my results.
Edit: Never mind I fought you were going to be more specific. I’ll try to start a TH-cam channel then.

My mind had a misconception that nobody would hire me, so i need to make my own money.
But that was false, it was because i didnt have the sales skills to sell myself to a hiring manager of the value i could provide to their company in an interview.
For the people who dont feel like getting up, just get up and wash the dishes, for those that dont know what to do, find something you can offer then check if there is a need in your area or online, and offer it again and again.
Do people own cars around you? scrounge some money together, buy a car window cleaner, microfibre cloths, watch pan the organisers video on how to do it then ask around if people need their car windows done up.
Bro I'm back !!! First aproach first kisss bro I'M FUCKING BACK!!!
17 and studying cybersecurity. I will get my AA and hopefully most of my tuition off by senior year, which puts me in a good position but the prospect of AI is starting to worry me. All of this could go to naught in the next 5 years with the exponential growth API’s pose, and all that schooling I had would go to nothing. By most estimates, AI will achieve superintelligence by the year 2027, and if members in the industry do not adapt humans will ultimately become obsolete for most services. If you are currently doing schooling for cyber or are building your portfolio of certifications, I strongly, *strongly* suggest you pursue at least one cert like MS AI before the shift occurs. This industry comes with two provisions- to make money and to save money for a company. Corporations will stop at nothing to ensure profits are maximized above all else, so it’s in best interest to adapt to this migration before it’s too late.
Nobody will ever find this comment
bye bye
😮😂
who are the NPCs that upvote these kind of comments 💀
Found.
Where is it?
23, currently working as a union carpenter. I have a wife a daughter and a puppy, I make good money but not enough to be where I want. I’m currently trying to buy a house and I’d like to learn more about how to make money/budget so thank you for your video
I'm 21. Did remodeling full time from 16 to 19. Tried Walmart, lame af, tried running CNC machines for a sign company, lame af, then I applied for a job at a car audio store as an installer. And I absolutely excelled. Within 3 months I became manager and the installer at a location, I do what used to be two jobs and get compensated for it. Now the job did still require me to have another employee, but the budget was low because of how much they are paying me. So we hired a female to answer the phones and babysit customers on the sales floor while I did the installs. I do a lot of back and forth from the shop to the sales floor because I handle both jobs and it gets a bit stressful, but I make more money than any friends I have my age. Electrical is definitely a great way to go. As a musician that works in a car audio store, I'm super close to doing exactly what I want. I'd like to be in the music production industry, but I'll definitely get there once I build up some savings!
This guys advice is top tier guys. If your not in the discord or Skool group you are definitely missing out 👏👏👏
Also Denmo, dig this video style! Keep it up 👍
Also if interested, my job goes both ways. I get sales commission, install commissions, and a base salary that pretty much comes out to $50 a day before tax. But I hustle 6 days a week and do side jobs on Sunday. Do it while your young fellas, it's a lot worse struggling when you're old and ugly than it is when you're young, handsome, and able.

Same concept as how our world works:
Weak men create bad times, bad times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men.

Dirt cheap, amazing foood, weather etc.
I’m 23, I recommend going into Trucking! I’m getting paid training and am going to be making good money right off the bat.

3000 views? That’s fucked up lol. Great vid
all good, the people who do watch will benefit
Well since absolutely nobody asked…. Age 29, a welder, hourly is $80 in the northeastern US.
What kind of welder? What was the pathway?
Only Jesus saves from hell (Acts 4:12 KJV). Jesus Christ died for our sins, was buried and rose again the third day (1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV). Jesus Christ shed His blood for our sins (Ephesians 1:7 KJV). Water baptism DOESN'T save us (1 Corinthians 1:17 KJV). We are saved by grace through faith, not our works (Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV).
Why do you guys always have to list the part of the book where it says something? I'm pretty sure a TH-cam comment section isn't where someone is gonna read your comment and go, "Wow, you know what, I'm just gonna drop everything and convert". I get you're trying to help, but a lot of denominations go about it the wrong way. This is why people think Christians are in a cult, bc you sound like it.
@@ndmorris14so people can look up for themselves what the Bible says. Blindly trusting in what a man says is a cult.
Hey I’m 20, I’m currently a boilermaker apprentice, being union is pretty sweet I’m getting lots of experience welding and turning wrenches I’m 6 months in and have already helped build 2 water tanks, one being 105ft tall and the other being 150ft. I also have worked a paper mill shutdown, and chlorine plant shutdown. These both consisted of 5 12 hour days. Once you get done with a job you get laid off and gain unemployment. Onto the next after that. I enjoy using my body and getting into the shit because I’ve been working landscaping and manual labor since I was 9 years old. Honestly I believe this is a great career and if anyone is looking to get into it, and make good money I highly recommend.
i'm 21 working at the bank. I am learning a lot about life and the economy. Seeing the do's and donts from the customers. It's been a year so far and i'm already catching onto the hourly pay. I used to be in sales when i was 20. Currently i am open to my situation and plan to learn more and more. I have a clothing business i am starting up, mainly for business experience. I know i have entrepreneurial energy. May God direct:)
I’m 20 making 120k a year, I’m switching from laborer over to plant mechanic/electrical, blue collar can be amazing if you are tough enough, longggg hours, 80 to 120 hours a week, long periods away from home. And lots of caffeine.
I don’t plan on doing this for life but might as well do it now, I’m young and ambitious. study later and be able to pay off student loans in full.
Another avenue into white collar / medical if you need college but don't have scholarship or rich parents is the military. Bonus points if you get an MOS that is transferrable to the civilian world.
I’m 25 I’ve been working as a delivery driver the past 3 years. I’m currently trying to change careers and go into cybersecurity.
31 years old, started roofing at 28 because it was the only industry hiring during covid, and I was completely broke. Started at 25$ per hr, now I'm at 40/h and it's made a complete man out of me. I didnt understand that concept until i started showing up for myself everyday regardlessof how tired i felt. I recommend you take good care of yourself health wise when entering any blue collar job. I regret not starting earlier and highly recommend anyone that's "still figuring out" what you wanna do in life to learn a blue collar trade minimum. You'll either hate it so much you'll make up your mind faster or become a highly skilled tradesman.
Just turned 23, living in an apt and making $32 an hour working for the rail road. I recently started a side job doing credit repair and have 1 car getting rented out by one of my buddies (I pay him a small percentage of what the car makes) who wants to grow a fleet of cars to rent out. I plan to eventually take over my cars in the near future but for now it helps both of us. Although my current “9-5” is not a physically straining job I don’t wanna clock in for 12 hours a day 5 days a week for the rest of my life. I also have another close friend, technically a business partner, who just got his dealer license and will let me purchase cars under his license. Pretty much to flip auction cars for cash. I have not invested into that just yet due to not having enough funds ( cause I was reckless with my money and have barely stated saving for emergency money) but once I have all my pins lined up I will get that going too.
I’m 28, went to college, got my bachelors in business management and my schooling paid off. I blew through my savings after graduating and I hate my current 9-5. I’ve picked up a 2nd job doing deliveries and paying down my consumer debt with $14K left to pay off. I now care about being financially literate and despise debt. My dream would be to own my own business and make a living where I can make enough to set aside to save and invest for the future. I’ve already been thinking about going the trades route as an electrician. I have my mortgage brokers license but the interest rates are terrible right now. I may take a health care recruiters role (salary + commissions) and hopefully I can learn and gain skills and make enough to save to pay for trades school. I’m glad I came across this video! I’ve been feeling very uncertain about what path to take.
