The biggest issue people have with getting into their dream careers is getting experience when you don’t have any experience…it’s a tricky situation cause nobody will hire you without experience but you also can’t get any experience cause nobody will hire you lol
I didn't go to college and by age 25 I was making 90 grand a year. Part of it was luck but mostly I just started at the bottom at a really good job and showed up worked my hardest and my area manager happened to get fired 4 yrs after I started at age 21 and I happened to be the most experienced and most dependent. So it is possible to succeed in life and have an amazing job without college

@@floraframes Hi, yes I am getting training, but there is also some studying/learning that you have to do to get better at the job. The very basics of the job is protecting a company’s network by monitoring internet traffic coming into or out of the network. Then have figure out if the traffic is malicious or not and take appropriate actions. Also, typically you won’t make 100k starting out… not sure where this guy got this info.
@@ellechanelthesimer2927 Hi, yea I was a nurse for 8 years and had high stress/blood pressure/pretty much dead inside. It was hard to make a change because I felt like I would be leaving behind a decent salary (90k+) but it wasn’t that great of money in exchange for killing myself. It helped to have someone offer me a job in IT but I think there are many ways to get into IT with different certifications.
Man I still feel so bummed about how I was offered a apprenticeship in my 20s (with no degree) by the father of my girlfriend at the time who was a successful construction manager. He was offering to teach me everything about the trade, and even talked to me about building a house for us to move into. Was an incredible opportunity, and the father was one of the nicest people I’ve ever met, but unfortunately that relationship didn’t work out and even though he kept the offer on the table, I had to decline out of respect for his daughter. Learned a few years ago that her next boyfriend and her got married, and her dad made the same offer to him, and bought them a house as a wedding gift. Her husband now owns his own construction company, and based on their lifestyle is making an easy 150k+, while I’m still stuck making 50k a year in my 30s. Thinking about it still hurts.

Yup! And it is all expensive! Just not AS expensive as college. Programming boot camps can be 10k+. For a lot of these jobs you need aptitude for the jobs AND lots of experience working much lower paying jobs. Computer programming is where it is at, but I’m aiming for database manager because my language learning skills suck.
I remember being young and so full of optimism, feeling capable of doing anything. Now i work at minimum wage and every week or so i search for something better but everything feels out of reach.
just fucking do it get off your ass and invest yourself into doing the work, it’s your own mental block and laziness that’s stopping you the world is yours, I know u might not want to hear this but it’s the truth.
U can do it. Dont settle. As long as you have $500 in ur bank account every two weeks, you have enough to start your own business. Now it isn’t easy. But remember, nothing worth it ever comes easy. Unless you’re lucky, which you very well might be
Go to college if you’re academically incline and love to study or do research. A trade school can get you really great high paying skills e.g. micro blading, coding boot camps, machine operator, etc
I thought I was academically inclined until I got hit with that college math. And by the time I got tutoring for whatever I had to take a test for, it was already too late and I had taken the test.

This is a perfect video for me. I grew up poor and don’t want to risk going into debt. Obviously if you want to make more than minimum wage, you need some sort of training.
Air traffic control is a very stress heavy job, definitely not something that you can just "do right out of high school" all of the training mentioned for this takes years to complete and there are age limits to this career (if past like 29 you can't even get in the training) Not trying to discourage anyone though, this is a really important job; just find it odd to be mentioned as an alternative to college. Arguably this path is more challenging than a standard college degree.
When I researched about air traffic control job posting always says you should have a bachelors or come from air force. So I don't understand what having no degree or entry level is being an air traffic controler
@@davidpham8748 not 100% true. my partner is an ATC and hes at 98k after 1 year and expecting to hit 6 figures soon, and he has no degree and his last job was Target for 4 years. however it is HIGHLY stressful and any mistake can lead a federal investigation on you.
Great vid for the youngsters. I never graduated high school. Always wanted to work. Most jobs in your life will be from who you know. Learn what you can, as much as you can. Make sure you at least like what you do. And go on to start your own company. I am a General Contractor. Best thing I ever did was apply for my license. Thx Vincent hope you and the fam are well.
The worst thing about listening to millennials giving you life/work/financial tips is that they always make juvenile references to anime trading cards, comic book movies, or video games. As if we're all still 14 yr olds and that's all we know as a point of knowledge reference to cope with all things in life. Can you guys please grow the phk up and behave like grown adults already?
Most these jobs are physically taxing, risks one's health/safety, diminishes one's health, no work-life-balance, or requires dexterity (good with hands). Good ideas.. Just not for everyone - just like college.
if i’m not mistaken most job with a degree sound exactly like that , doctor , nurse , lawyer, engineer all the big ones have one more more characteristics u described , but i do understand that these jobs r simialr
I did Air Traffic control for 9 months straight in Afghanistan and I’m an infantry guy, was real real hard at first but by the time I left I was teaching other people. Might be worth looking into again
Getting your CDL is a great option if you like driving. Jobs and pay vary hugely and you can do whichever based on the work/life balance that you want.
@@jermainemyrn19 you can get b or a depending on what job you are wanting to do. B let’s you drive cement trucks, garbage trucks, busses and such. CDL A let’s you tow over 10,000 and drive semi trucks.
Question for all you truck drivers out there… 21 years old right now, sadly got a dui for weed back when I was 16/17. Is there any chance for me to find a way into this field with this on my record?
Working in a utility company can make money too. You can work as a lineman, operator, maintenance man, electrical designer, relay tester, etc. No degrees needed.
My aunt was an accounts supervisor making 100k with out any degree. After she retired, they required a masters in buisness. Just cause you know someone that got a job 20 years ago without a degree doesn't mean you will now.
Insurance is a safe bet also. Just need to be 18, take a prelicense course, study & pass the test to get your license. And if you work for an agency they'll pay for you to get your license.
I'm a truck driver making 100k and home daily so that's another route. But, I do work 65 hours a week and am in an industry that they're trying to automate. Which is why I'm personally looking for a change.
They have along way to go until it is fully automated. That's why alot of them are moving back to self driving cars instead of trucks. It's smart to make a change for the future but the public right now ain't having it
I've seen video of yard trucks and forklifts that are also fully automated. I think we have about another 10 years to go before life starts to get hopeless.
Alot of these require to work long hours, and plenty OT to reach that amount. Which it's possible, but hard. Most degree jobs are regular mon-fri salary. More time to enjoy life. So it's a tough one
I don't have a college degree. I make $40 an hour working on automated manufacturing equipment. I did not even go to trade school for this either. I studied for 6 to 8 months watching TH-cam videos and placed as an A rate mechanic with no experience. I also own several rental properties and plan on retiring from my day job by the time im 40.
Almost every good paying job requires a lot of your time. Lawyers for example work just as much or more hours than the jobs listed as well as Dr's. If your questioning putting in the work needed you are not on the right track for achieving wealth. You have to have passion to achieve wealth.
I do commercial electrical and I can’t imagine doing line work. If you think construction people are rough they’re nothing compared to widebacks. I’ve seen linemen and utility types physically assault their apprentices for making the smallest mistakes or being too slow. The trades are extremely demoralizing and outside of line work or elevator constructors 80k is nowhere near the average pay unless you’re working 65 hour weeks. Stay in the office and A/C , it’s much better than destroying your body for 30/$hr at most and putting up with GCs, violent and drug addicted co workers and cheap ass business owners. The union side isn’t much better either barring a couple of halls in places like Seattle or Portland. I’m speaking from experience. If I could do it all over again I’d get the best office job without a degree I could or be a professional street pharmacist/ “money borrower”.
What Vincent leaves out about the construction management position is the immense stress. This is coming from someone who is on the design side. You'll typically notice a lot of turnover in the construction industry - that's not an accident. I find it's especially odd to suggest this after watching Vincent's videos about quitting the rat race of finance. A/E can have similarly bad hours, emails at all time of the night, and putting out fires constantly. I know he means well, but whew - Vincent clearly did not perform much diligence before including it in this list.
I’m a construction superintendent and let me tell you there’s a reason I’m watching videos like these. You’re absolutely correct when talking about the immense stress of the position/industry. We don’t get to hang it up at the end of a day or night. Weekends are almost unavoidable and don’t get me started on turnover.. Most people don’t want the stress if they’re not entirely invested in the culture that goes along with the job.
I mean... most of these are high pay/ high stress jobs. Whether it's the jack of all trades. Or being micromanaged but as long as the pay is in the right place MOST people will work through it. Because you know.. someone has to do these jobs not everyone can do minimal work for maximum pay. 😂😂
When he mentions stress about certain jobs, i have to say that stress is necessary to do a well paying job. Dont be scared, just be yourself and focus.
@@karma_97_ wrong, you’re just a baby and have a weak mindset, if you’re always stressed you’re gonna die soon I’m very happy with my 70 hours per week job and I’m 69 very young and healthy because I don’t worry about little things like you. People think I’m 45
Trucking used to stress me out until I got with the right company and got my own routine. 9 years later it's real easy except the winter weather. I'm a night driver and my company isn't forced dispatch. I haven't spoke to my fleet manager in 3 months. Send me my load over the tablet and I'm good to go
My cousin is a power plant operator/manager & makes over $200k. He has worked there for forever, been loyal, & gotten rewarded. My Uncle was a chemist there who split atoms all day & put in 30 yrs & still made less than him. Wild!
I am a truck driver and make pretty good money with no college. But my trainer?! He is an owner operator truck driver and he is on track to making $230,000 Come the end of this year.
Just don’t forget that you are competing against someone who does have a degree, the other candidates may have all the skills you have and plus the degree. That’s why if you have the time, go to college, try to get scholarships, it’s important to have at least a certificate or associate.
If you’re pursuing software engineering or development, boot camps are worthwhile if you have a degree already. If you don’t have a degree, and haven’t been working with software personally, don’t go to a boot camp unless you’re pursuing web development. They’re similar in price to a CS degree online but hold a fraction of the value. I’m sure there’s people who can make it with just the boot camp, and great job to those who have, but it’s much less common than advertised. Remember, if it’s too good to be true it usually is. A 3-6 month boot camp won’t get you the 100k salary you think you’ll make. I’ve worked in big tech, DOD, commercial, and finance industries. I’ve NEVER worked with someone who went to a boot camp.
Another great potential career that people can get into without a degree would be Sales. A lot of entry level positions do not require degrees and with the commission earned people can make 6figure incomes. Of course it isn't easy and it takes a lot of work and grind, but just like anything if you put in the effort to learn and use as many resources like training programs, books, etc then you can make a good to amazing salary.
Good vid! I’m a controller, tough but rewarding career and they will take people off the street with no experience as there is a huge shortage. Actually becoming fully certified is a whole separate battle. But the money is great.
For those of you interested in a construction trade such as Carpenter, Plumber, HVAC or Electrician. Definitely go with a Union, they will teach you through an Apprenticeship with excellent pay and benefits!
@@jjchantel there is due to men gatekeeping certain careers. They do not want to see women working alongside them and will make women feel unworthy and unwelcome.
The only thing I can think of is cosmetology- but that hardly pays well if you don't put a personal spin to it. Nursing, mostly LPN, is both a womans and mans type of deal now but it pays better than cosmetology. You can get a license through a trade/technical school.
The only job I could hope to do from this list is Elevator Repairer... and even then that's sort of asking too much from me. The only thing I got going for me is a have a mechanical mind. I just know how things work and how they fit together. Give me enough time alone with something and let me take it apart and I can pretty much figure out how it works. Communication skills are low and actually regressing even further though do to anxiety problems. So that sucks...
My parents want me to start paying rent to live with them even though I make little and they’d be taking from my savings to move out. Wish me luck in coming to a comprise with them so I can keep saving money 😭
This is a shocker when you first hear them say it, but it will teach you how life really works. I’ve been paying rent since I turned 18 to my parents, it sucked but I don’t hate them for it.
@@highchurchpapi yes I agree, I knew it was coming and understand the concept but I know they would like me to move out sooner than later. I wish I could keep saving my money for it and do cleaning around the house to comprise and help them. If not, I can only be grateful I have a roof over my head and keep saving what I can 🙂
They have the right to demand since you are still living with them if the amount is reasonable in comparison to living by yourself you should understand.
Any career that deals with water, power energy, and a computer is the ideal place to work. I would say use a company's resource to make yourself better but do not rely on that company for their resources.
Territory or B2B sales can bring in a TON, just make sure to get a solid base salary with it. Just not for everyone and you definitely want to have the drive for it, long hours but worth the check from my experience.
some of this could be misleading. while it is possible to get all of these jobs without a degree, some of them are very unlikely. Especially the IT related ones. I am attempting to find a job in IT right now and I see so many postings requiring a bachelor's degree. the computer programming one and the cyber security one are some examples. ideally you can still manage to get into one of these types of jobs on a more entry level position with certifications however you may be beat out by people who have that bachelor's.
I just got an IT job at a hospital without a degree! They required a degree on their application but I applied anyways and crushed the interview so I got hired. The best thing you can do is convey your knowledge through your resume, list any and all IT experience you have to land the interview and then know your stuff :).
When I first started working with solar panels it was like Chinese to me these days I’m considered a solar pro I thought electrical was difficult to learn but it’s really not u don’t have to be scared of electricity just respect it at all times wires always go somewhere and stop somewhere so u just gotta figure out the issues from start to end it’s so simple
Solar install is hardly considered electrical. It’s mostly installing rails and panels on roofs. Not hating but just saying … also how’s the 20/$hr treating you ?
@@deezenutzz69 yea if your just doing roof installs sometimes you got ground mounts that involve trenching you got battery’s you got generators sometimes cities require electrical upgrades before solar can be installed so I’ve been doing this almost 10 years which qualifies me a solar pro but I mainly do electrical we have rackers that rack and set panels most solar companies don’t pay by the hour they pay by the watt so I make well over a 100k plus it’s my dads company and will be mine in about 5 more years so I’m doing ok 👍🏼 thanks for asking!

@Vic Reynov that sounds nice and all. But I’m sure employers are likely to lay off non degree employees during a recession. Plus I think your earning potential is less without a degree.
As a immigrant I will encourage my children to get a college degree. Not just any degree in the medical field, financial or tech. All three will secure your future and are rewarding
Programming requires extensive proof of personal work and projects that display your knowledge. Employers utilise your experience for their own purpose. If you are a programmer, know that its not a long term job, just until you gain the funds to start your own business with your skills and get it rolling.

Air traffic control is a very stress heavy job, definitely not something that you can just "do right out of high school" all of the training mentioned for this takes years to complete and there are age limits to this career (if past like 29 you can't even get in the training) Not trying to discourage anyone though, this is a really important job; just find it odd to be mentioned as an alternative to college. Arguably this path is more challenging than a standard college degree.
When I researched about air traffic control job posting always says you should have a bachelors or come from air force. So I don't understand what having no degree or entry level is being an air traffic controler
@@plurallove you dont need to be at the AF or degree. But you need to work for years before reaching 6 figures.
people don't just not fgo to university because "it's hard". Some are just tired of school or don't want to pay.
32 is the US cutoff for controllers
@@davidpham8748 not 100% true. my partner is an ATC and hes at 98k after 1 year and expecting to hit 6 figures soon, and he has no degree and his last job was Target for 4 years. however it is HIGHLY stressful and any mistake can lead a federal investigation on you.
Great vid for the youngsters. I never graduated high school. Always wanted to work. Most jobs in your life will be from who you know. Learn what you can, as much as you can. Make sure you at least like what you do. And go on to start your own company. I am a General Contractor. Best thing I ever did was apply for my license. Thx Vincent hope you and the fam are well.
Congrats man!!
Thx J😎✌
The worst thing about listening to millennials giving you life/work/financial tips is that they always make juvenile references to anime trading cards, comic book movies, or video games. As if we're all still 14 yr olds and that's all we know as a point of knowledge reference to cope with all things in life. Can you guys please grow the phk up and behave like grown adults already?
I need advice on how I can find a reputable general contractor in Texas, @Mike Valentine.

Most these jobs are physically taxing, risks one's health/safety, diminishes one's health, no work-life-balance, or requires dexterity (good with hands). Good ideas.. Just not for everyone - just like college.
if i’m not mistaken most job with a degree sound exactly like that , doctor , nurse , lawyer, engineer all the big ones have one more more characteristics u described , but i do understand that these jobs r simialr
Sounds too me that you don’t even wanna work…you just wanna make money sitting on your ass…which can be done but not by crying about it
TRUE! Thank you for your comment, I totally agree
I did Air Traffic control for 9 months straight in Afghanistan and I’m an infantry guy, was real real hard at first but by the time I left I was teaching other people. Might be worth looking into again
Getting your CDL is a great option if you like driving. Jobs and pay vary hugely and you can do whichever based on the work/life balance that you want.
@@VincentChan yes commercial drivers license.
@@adambrackston3471 is that b license?
@@jermainemyrn19 you can get b or a depending on what job you are wanting to do. B let’s you drive cement trucks, garbage trucks, busses and such. CDL A let’s you tow over 10,000 and drive semi trucks.
Truck driver here!
Question for all you truck drivers out there… 21 years old right now, sadly got a dui for weed back when I was 16/17. Is there any chance for me to find a way into this field with this on my record?
Working in a utility company can make money too.
You can work as a lineman, operator, maintenance man, electrical designer, relay tester, etc. No degrees needed.
My aunt was an accounts supervisor making 100k with out any degree. After she retired, they required a masters in buisness. Just cause you know someone that got a job 20 years ago without a degree doesn't mean you will now.
Insurance is a safe bet also. Just need to be 18, take a prelicense course, study & pass the test to get your license. And if you work for an agency they'll pay for you to get your license.
Never heard this before , would insurance be something good to do for a while ?
Ah, working for the enemy. Certainly an option though.
I'm a truck driver making 100k and home daily so that's another route. But, I do work 65 hours a week and am in an industry that they're trying to automate. Which is why I'm personally looking for a change.
They have along way to go until it is fully automated. That's why alot of them are moving back to self driving cars instead of trucks. It's smart to make a change for the future but the public right now ain't having it
I've seen video of yard trucks and forklifts that are also fully automated. I think we have about another 10 years to go before life starts to get hopeless.
They can t automate it in next 30 years don t worry
@NairaKa I'm thinking within 10 years it's going to be pretty common. They're doing a lot of testing in AZ.
@@jcg702There are so many variables on the road that fully autonomous driving is unlikely in the near future
Dear Aspiring Database Managers, Please know there is no difference between SEQUEL and SQL. Its the same thing just a matter of copyright. 😅
Alot of these require to work long hours, and plenty OT to reach that amount. Which it's possible, but hard. Most degree jobs are regular mon-fri salary. More time to enjoy life. So it's a tough one
Yup, truck driver hear with touch freight. Hard work but on track to hit 100k my first year. I love it tho
I don't have a college degree. I make $40 an hour working on automated manufacturing equipment. I did not even go to trade school for this either. I studied for 6 to 8 months watching TH-cam videos and placed as an A rate mechanic with no experience. I also own several rental properties and plan on retiring from my day job by the time im 40.
Almost every good paying job requires a lot of your time. Lawyers for example work just as much or more hours than the jobs listed as well as Dr's. If your questioning putting in the work needed you are not on the right track for achieving wealth. You have to have passion to achieve wealth.
henry; Not true.
@@charlesweaver9297 where do you start learning this? Can you recommend a couple of videos to watch?
i thought about being a plumber but years of being an office worker, I don't think my body could do the work.
hey buddiee.. I am going to complete my undergrad as computer engineer , still i like watching your videos. Thank you for this motivating us !!
I do commercial electrical and I can’t imagine doing line work. If you think construction people are rough they’re nothing compared to widebacks. I’ve seen linemen and utility types physically assault their apprentices for making the smallest mistakes or being too slow. The trades are extremely demoralizing and outside of line work or elevator constructors 80k is nowhere near the average pay unless you’re working 65 hour weeks. Stay in the office and A/C , it’s much better than destroying your body for 30/$hr at most and putting up with GCs, violent and drug addicted co workers and cheap ass business owners. The union side isn’t much better either barring a couple of halls in places like Seattle or Portland. I’m speaking from experience. If I could do it all over again I’d get the best office job without a degree I could or be a professional street pharmacist/ “money borrower”.
What Vincent leaves out about the construction management position is the immense stress. This is coming from someone who is on the design side. You'll typically notice a lot of turnover in the construction industry - that's not an accident. I find it's especially odd to suggest this after watching Vincent's videos about quitting the rat race of finance. A/E can have similarly bad hours, emails at all time of the night, and putting out fires constantly. I know he means well, but whew - Vincent clearly did not perform much diligence before including it in this list.
because he just googled all this information lol. There's no way one person has had in depth experience in all the fields he's going through.
I’m a construction superintendent and let me tell you there’s a reason I’m watching videos like these. You’re absolutely correct when talking about the immense stress of the position/industry. We don’t get to hang it up at the end of a day or night. Weekends are almost unavoidable and don’t get me started on turnover.. Most people don’t want the stress if they’re not entirely invested in the culture that goes along with the job.
@@evankukalis9940 currently a PE… can confirm these comments
I mean... most of these are high pay/ high stress jobs. Whether it's the jack of all trades. Or being micromanaged but as long as the pay is in the right place MOST people will work through it. Because you know.. someone has to do these jobs not everyone can do minimal work for maximum pay. 😂😂
Answering the phone wvenings, weekends, etc. Vendors calling to get paid cuz your boss doesn't pay.
When he mentions stress about certain jobs, i have to say that stress is necessary to do a well paying job. Dont be scared, just be yourself and focus.
Yeah the only thing is that it will kill you down the road , high paying jobs have a form of chronic stress that will fuck you up.
@@karma_97_ i can agree you can't let the stress get ahead of you. You must be strong enough to maintain it, whatever your methods may be.
@@karma_97_ wrong, you’re just a baby and have a weak mindset, if you’re always stressed you’re gonna die soon I’m very happy with my 70 hours per week job and I’m 69 very young and healthy because I don’t worry about little things like you. People think I’m 45
Trucking used to stress me out until I got with the right company and got my own routine. 9 years later it's real easy except the winter weather. I'm a night driver and my company isn't forced dispatch. I haven't spoke to my fleet manager in 3 months. Send me my load over the tablet and I'm good to go
None of these jobs speak to me :/
Wow a lot of foreign workers do these manual jobs in my country and they aren't paid as much.
999; Thats because they are manual only. Just jobs, not careers.
In India, repairers hardly make a living... even the most skilled don't earn more than $10k per year
$10K per year is a high payment in South Asia, you just overestimated 🙂
@@ya.sohan1India they said not South Africa
@@itachiiscoldfacts2481their median income is not even close to that tho
Your videos are great man. Your great. Keep doing what your doing.
This is great, wish I had this back in the day 😝 my Jamaican mother was shoving me to college. I hope Gen Z can use this 🙌🏽
Looking to leave teaching! Needed this!
Great info. Maybe a good second career for those not happy with their current career.
My cousin is a power plant operator/manager & makes over $200k. He has worked there for forever, been loyal, & gotten rewarded. My Uncle was a chemist there who split atoms all day & put in 30 yrs & still made less than him. Wild!
I am a truck driver and make pretty good money with no college. But my trainer?! He is an owner operator truck driver and he is on track to making $230,000 Come the end of this year.
Just don’t forget that you are competing against someone who does have a degree, the other candidates may have all the skills you have and plus the degree. That’s why if you have the time, go to college, try to get scholarships, it’s important to have at least a certificate or associate.
I don’t think your humor is funny but I like it tbh 😭
Thanks a bunch brother for always providing such cool videos with such dank humor
If you’re pursuing software engineering or development, boot camps are worthwhile if you have a degree already. If you don’t have a degree, and haven’t been working with software personally, don’t go to a boot camp unless you’re pursuing web development. They’re similar in price to a CS degree online but hold a fraction of the value. I’m sure there’s people who can make it with just the boot camp, and great job to those who have, but it’s much less common than advertised. Remember, if it’s too good to be true it usually is. A 3-6 month boot camp won’t get you the 100k salary you think you’ll make. I’ve worked in big tech, DOD, commercial, and finance industries. I’ve NEVER worked with someone who went to a boot camp.
Another great potential career that people can get into without a degree would be Sales. A lot of entry level positions do not require degrees and with the commission earned people can make 6figure incomes. Of course it isn't easy and it takes a lot of work and grind, but just like anything if you put in the effort to learn and use as many resources like training programs, books, etc then you can make a good to amazing salary.
I work at a steel plant. I work a lot but I made 85k this year. I get a raise next year too.
How did you find your position? Any job searching tips to get into this field?
It is safe to say, none of these jobs are for me . Lol. Great video handsome
Good vid! I’m a controller, tough but rewarding career and they will take people off the street with no experience as there is a huge shortage. Actually becoming fully certified is a whole separate battle. But the money is great.
More info please.
How did u get started?
Military or any experience?
Do you have any suggestions on where to start?
Please elaborate
Air traffic controllers have a very high suicide rate, very stressful job
I love your personality vinnie
For those of you interested in a construction trade such as Carpenter, Plumber, HVAC or Electrician. Definitely go with a Union, they will teach you through an Apprenticeship with excellent pay and benefits!
Am from Africa how can I apply for it
Filmmaker, photographer, software engineer, mechanic, fisher, dietitian etc
Thanks for the 3 hours of online research you did for this 😂👏
Do you have video for women’s career with no degree ? Most of the jobs u mentioned geared towards man. Thanks
There’s no such thing as men or woman career. You’ll stay a housewife with that mentality
@@jjchantel there is due to men gatekeeping certain careers. They do not want to see women working alongside them and will make women feel unworthy and unwelcome.
The only thing I can think of is cosmetology- but that hardly pays well if you don't put a personal spin to it. Nursing, mostly LPN, is both a womans and mans type of deal now but it pays better than cosmetology. You can get a license through a trade/technical school.
problem with air traffic control job is that if the plane crashes you go to jail
The only job I could hope to do from this list is Elevator Repairer... and even then that's sort of asking too much from me. The only thing I got going for me is a have a mechanical mind. I just know how things work and how they fit together. Give me enough time alone with something and let me take it apart and I can pretty much figure out how it works. Communication skills are low and actually regressing even further though do to anxiety problems. So that sucks...
Should do best jobs for introverts
My parents want me to start paying rent to live with them even though I make little and they’d be taking from my savings to move out. Wish me luck in coming to a comprise with them so I can keep saving money 😭
This is a shocker when you first hear them say it, but it will teach you how life really works. I’ve been paying rent since I turned 18 to my parents, it sucked but I don’t hate them for it.
@@highchurchpapi yes I agree, I knew it was coming and understand the concept but I know they would like me to move out sooner than later. I wish I could keep saving my money for it and do cleaning around the house to comprise and help them. If not, I can only be grateful I have a roof over my head and keep saving what I can 🙂

They have the right to demand since you are still living with them if the amount is reasonable in comparison to living by yourself you should understand.
ABSOLUTELY loved this content.
Any career that deals with water, power energy, and a computer is the ideal place to work. I would say use a company's resource to make yourself better but do not rely on that company for their resources.
good video, thanks. One risk - automation can remove some of this jobs
Great point!
Al; Not as many as you would think. Show me an automated plumber or mechanic to name just a few.
Great content❤
Territory or B2B sales can bring in a TON, just make sure to get a solid base salary with it. Just not for everyone and you definitely want to have the drive for it, long hours but worth the check from my experience.
Dont you need to be in a trade school for some of these? and computer programer I think you need a degree for that, am I wrong?
To work in nuclear period you need to know someone YOU WILL NOT get a job unless you have someone who already works at the site
Thanks you for this video
This is a great video it is inspirational keep up the good work.
some of this could be misleading. while it is possible to get all of these jobs without a degree, some of them are very unlikely. Especially the IT related ones. I am attempting to find a job in IT right now and I see so many postings requiring a bachelor's degree. the computer programming one and the cyber security one are some examples. ideally you can still manage to get into one of these types of jobs on a more entry level position with certifications however you may be beat out by people who have that bachelor's.
X; Lotta high paying professions out there that don't require a degree.
I just got an IT job at a hospital without a degree! They required a degree on their application but I applied anyways and crushed the interview so I got hired. The best thing you can do is convey your knowledge through your resume, list any and all IT experience you have to land the interview and then know your stuff :).

When I first started working with solar panels it was like Chinese to me these days I’m considered a solar pro I thought electrical was difficult to learn but it’s really not u don’t have to be scared of electricity just respect it at all times wires always go somewhere and stop somewhere so u just gotta figure out the issues from start to end it’s so simple
Solar install is hardly considered electrical. It’s mostly installing rails and panels on roofs. Not hating but just saying … also how’s the 20/$hr treating you ?
@@deezenutzz69 yea if your just doing roof installs sometimes you got ground mounts that involve trenching you got battery’s you got generators sometimes cities require electrical upgrades before solar can be installed so I’ve been doing this almost 10 years which qualifies me a solar pro but I mainly do electrical we have rackers that rack and set panels most solar companies don’t pay by the hour they pay by the watt so I make well over a 100k plus it’s my dads company and will be mine in about 5 more years so I’m doing ok 👍🏼 thanks for asking!

extremely no true lol
@Vic Reynov that sounds nice and all. But I’m sure employers are likely to lay off non degree employees during a recession. Plus I think your earning potential is less without a degree.
