This video explores high-demand career paths that require little to no formal degrees, emphasizing a shift toward skills-based hiring due to severe labor shortages and an aging workforce. It highlights various niche roles offering on-the-job training and encourages professionals to monetize their specialized knowledge through content creation on platforms like YouTube.
These are seven jobs facing severe labor shortages right now,
and I promise at least one of them fits you and your specific situation.
So one of them pays a median of $119,000 a year.
Most of them don't ask for a degree or experience
because they ran out of people to be picky with.
And almost all of these will train you from zero as well.
And a few of them will take a total beginner this week.
Now, I went $300,000 in student loan debt for a doctorate
before I figured out how hiring actually works.
So I built a career channel that I wish I had.
And now I've helped over a thousand people with verified testimonials get jobs.
Now, here's how bad the shortages are.
In one of these industries, 88% of employers said finding workers
is their number one problem.
And people with doctorates are now covering the entry level shifts
because nobody else will.
And another one, 57% of the workforce is over 60.
And almost nobody under 40 is coming in behind them.
So these employers aren't lowering the bar to be nice.
They're lowering it because the applicant pile is empty.
So whether you have no degree or you just got laid off
or you're switching careers at 45 or you're hunting for your first real job,
there's going to be at least one on this list that's going to be a great fit for you.
So every claim comes from a public report, a salary database
or the employer's own job listing.
And it's all going to be on the screen as we go.
So if you appreciate me making this type of content,
you want to see me make more of it in the future,
then let me know by gently cheers in that like button.
And let's go ahead and jump in right now.
All right.
The first one is going to be a tissue recovery technician.
And this is a specialized medical professional who surgically retrieves,
preserves and packages human tissue.
Bone, skin, heart valves, corneas, etc.
from deceased donors for transplants, research or education.
Now, if you're not familiar with the channel going with tradition,
I typically do pick a weird or just out there job for the first one.
And the reason I do that is because I want the creative juices to flow.
There's so many jobs out there.
You don't have to go the traditional path of becoming an engineer
or an accountant or a lawyer or a doctor.
There's a lot of other careers out there that you probably have no idea exist.
And I want you to be open minded when you're looking at these,
because a lot of the times those are the easiest ones to get into.
Now, you might be thinking, Shane, this has to be a made up job.
I've never heard of it.
Well, Dakota Lions site and health and ion tissue donation
organization actually posted a listing hiring a tissue recovery technician.
You can see it right there.
OK, Shane, but I think you need to have a degree, right?
Well, the listing requires only a high school diploma
being at least 18, a valid driver's license and of course, basic computer skills.
Now, they say here that medical experience and work experience
itself is listed as preferred, but it is not required.
But you might be saying, OK, Shane,
but that's probably an old listing and they're not hiring anymore.
Well, New England Donor Services from Waltham, Massachusetts,
just listed the job three weeks ago, and they said that they need associates.
And Southwest Transplant Alliance made a video featuring members
of their tissue team sharing what the job is really like.
And it's a lifesaving effort touching pediatrics, cardiac care, orthopedics,
burn recovery, breast reconstruction, skin grafting and more.
How I start off my days, I'll receive a call whether I'm at home or in the office.
Now, I know this job sounds morbid, but it's meaningful
because it saves lives.
There's a video where Stephanie Browett shares how tissue donation saved hers.
And she says, if you can help people with your expertise in health care,
you can get paid to do it.
By becoming an organ and tissue donor,
you can save the lives of up to seven people.
And it only takes one minute.
I myself see my donors as my forever angels.
Right. And I come from a health care background.
I also attract a lot of people in health care to this channel.
And there are a lot of niche health care related careers out there.
There's literally thousands of them.
Did you know, for instance,
there's over a hundred different types of pharmacists out there?
And don't even get me started on nurses.
Speaking of nurses, Nurse Jen is one of our community members.
She was a burnt out nurse with 33 years in the field, and she wanted out.
But she also wanted to keep helping people,
specifically helping seniors navigate the U.S. health care system.
So she joined the program, shared her expertise with the world.
And in less than two months,
her channel blew up and she had videos hitting 600,000 views
and one that crossed 800,000 views.
And her first month monetized, she made $6,000 in AdSense alone.
Second month, 8,000.
And just recently, she had a $10,500 AdSense month.
But the money is honestly the smaller part.
She quit her nursing job, bought a camper van,
and now she's traveling the country full time, which is literally her dream life.
And she's filming her videos from inside of that van, which is awesome.
But even more than that,
she's helped literally millions of seniors at this point
navigate the U.S. health care system.
And she didn't really have to learn anything new to do this.
She literally just used the experience that she already had in her career.
So this is kind of what I do on this channel, right?
I help people get into the careers.
And then I help people use the experience that they already have in their careers
or just experience that they picked up in their life in general
and actually make money from that as well.
And here's the part that nobody tells you about a job like this.
The stuff that people find uncomfortable to talk about.
Well, that's the stuff with the biggest audience on YouTube.
So Dr. Peter Aziz, for instance, is one of our community members,
and he's a urogynecologist and he does pelvic surgery.
And he talks on camera about the things that women are told to be embarrassed about.
And he started a brand new channel with zero subscribers in November.
And two months later, he crossed his first 1000 subs and got monetized.
And he's got nearly 8000 now.
So you can go into medicine with a high school diploma.
And the thing that everyone else finds awkward to explain becomes your second
income. And by the way, it's not just this doctor.
We have Dr. Chris.
We have Dr. Danny, Dr. Pica.
And it's not just doctors either.
We've got more nurses, for instance, like Nurse Magda.
And it's not just medical careers as well.
Any career or any skill that you've learned,
any experience that you've gained in life, for instance,
the problems that you had that you were able to overcome,
you can monetize those problems.
For instance, I took my own 50 year old brother, taught him exactly how to do this
and got him from zero to a full time income in less than one month.
All right. YouTube just got 10 times easier and nobody is talking about it.
You used to need an entire film crew.
And it used to be a full time job for you to just do any work at all on YouTube.
But now you can get work done.
And it's a little as 15 to 30 minutes a day.
And you can actually grow a full time YouTube channel.
That's exactly what I would be talking about at the life training
that we're doing this week, exactly how to grow your YouTube channel.
So click the link in the description, the pin comment below to check that out, guys.
I will be answering questions before, during and after the live training.
It's completely free.
Plus, I'll be giving away an A.I.
that is designed to help you pick your niche if you don't have one in the first place
or if you already have a niche, it's going to help you make it 10 times better.
So really looking forward to talking with you guys.
This stuff that we never talked about before.
So click that link in the description and comment below.
I look forward to seeing you there.
Now, by the way, according to Glassdoor, tissue recovery
technicians make about fifty two to seventy six thousand dollars a year.
All right. Next one is going to be a boar semen collection technician.
I told you I always start these videos off with weird ones.
And yes, it's exactly what it sounds like.
These are the people at pig breeding facilities who collect semen
for the breeding boars, check it under a microscope, split it into doses
and ship it to farms for artificial insemination.
Now, I know exactly what you're thinking.
Shane, there's no way real companies are hiring for this.
Well, Eastern Iowa A.I. has a live listing that says word for word.
No experience is necessary.
The company will train the right person and local applicants
with no experience are encouraged to apply.
And the requirements are basic computer skills, reliability,
attention to detail and willingness to learn.
Right. That is the entire list.
But you might be thinking, OK, Shane, but that's one random weird farm, right?
Nope. Pull up indeed.
And there are entry level boar stud positions at multiple employers.
Yep. That's a name for stud.
But OK, Shane, but surely nobody's out here watching this job get done.
Well, Purdue University put out a video on biosecurity and hygiene
during boar collection and has around 363,000 views.
So 363,000 people watched a university explain this
because everybody secretly wants to know and nobody wants to ask.
And this industry is big enough to have its own machinery. Right.
So there's a device for this called a boar matic.
And I'm not making that up either.
And here's why it's on the list.
The only real requirement was basic computer skills.
So the lab reports, the inventory, the shipping records,
that's half of this job I handle.
So the beginner who walks in to use it isn't just qualified.
They're the best applicant that the farm has seen all year.
Now, on job platforms, this one is usually listed as a swine technician
or a barn and lab technician.
And it typically pays between forty one and sixty five thousand a year.
Now, with that being said, it is there and there is a lot of demand for it.
But let's talk about one that's probably a bit more of a career,
and that is low voltage and smart home technician.
Now, these are the people who install security cameras, fire alarms,
access control, Internet cabling, speakers and smart home systems.
And this is a real trade with way less of the heavy electrical work
that a full electrician needs.
Now, you might say, Shane, a trade means years of apprenticeship
before anyone lets me touch anything, right?
Well, Avixa, the audio visual industry's own trade association,
calls low voltage one of the easier trades to enter.
No particular degree.
And they point people to paid apprenticeships.
So you earn while you learn and search no experienced low voltage on Indeed.
And you'll see pages of listings advertising on the job training
with zero prior experience.
So when companies train total beginners at their own expense,
that is not generosity.
That is desperation.
And you might think a niche trade like this is invisible.
No, there's a channel called Daily Electrician.
And his video,
Day in the Life of a Low Voltage Electrician has around twenty five thousand views.
And it's not just the text filming.
Advanced Communication Services is an actual low voltage contractor
posted a day in the life of one of their own techs running a fiber project
and newsflash.
When a company shoots YouTube videos to fill a job, the applicant pile is empty.
They are getting desperate, right?
That is a very good sign.
And the niche is so wide open
that a traveling tech filming small network installs on the road
is one of the only people doing it.
And I know this desperation firsthand.
My brother's been in the trades for almost 30 years,
and he tells me that every contractor he knows says they can't find people.
So they'll take anyone who is willing to learn.
And part of the reason that this job is so desperate for people
is that this labor type job takes a big toll on your body.
And people are leaving it.
So it's exactly what caused my brother to pull me aside while we were on vacation.
And he told me that he wanted to stop working the trades
because it's taking a toll on his body.
But he still wanted to make money.
He was expecting me to tell him to do online jobs or some sort of side hustle
or maybe get a cookie office job or a government job or something like that.
But I told him, no, just do YouTube, bro.
And he was like, no, I can't do that.
I'm in my 50s.
No one wants to listen to a 50 year old.
YouTube is for kids and dancing and doing pranks.
You know, I'm not tech savvy.
I don't know how to set up a camera and record my video.
I never recorded a video in my single life.
He gave me every excuse in the book he could think of to not start YouTube.
But I told him, bro, just trust me, just follow every single thing I say
and you will succeed.
And he did listen to me.
And his very first video blew up 822000 views within 29 days
after uploading that very first video.
He got monetized and made two hundred and fourteen dollars in a single day.
That is a seventy eight thousand dollar a year run rate.
And that means he went from zero to a full time income in less than one month.
And to end his first year on YouTube, he got to eighteen thousand dollars
in a single month.
And this doesn't even have to be about jobs.
Maybe you've got a talent that nobody knows about.
Maybe you can draw or sing or do something that you do for free.
Anyways, take Isaiah Harris, who is so passionate about singing.
And he has a channel about teaching singers how to sing better.
And I really like his story
because he was about to get laid off from his tech sales job
when he found my free content and he followed every step in my videos
on how to grow and make money with YouTube,
showed up to my life training and asked me questions about his niche.
And off the free stuff alone, he hit twenty thousand dollars in a single month.
And his channel has crossed one hundred thousand dollars in revenue.
And he's pulling over twelve thousand dollars a month,
posting about one video a month.
Right. So this is the job of working for YouTube and you don't even have to apply.
So, again, check out the first link in the description, the pin
comment below to attend my completely free life training.
My goal is to get as many people as possible that actually have experience
to get paid, to teach other people how to get into jobs and how to do skills
and how to solve problems and how to give value to the world. Right.
And just like Isaiah, you don't need to pay me to do that.
You just need to attend the live training.
So click that first link in the description, the pin comment below.
And I look forward to seeing you there.
OK, so the next one is going to be an agricultural drone spray pilot.
And these are the people flying giant crop spraying drones like DJI Agras
over farm fields, doing what a crop duster plane used to do.
Now, the drone plans its own route.
The pilot loads the tank, maps the field in an app and supervises.
Now, you might be thinking, Shane, that's cool and all.
But is anyone actually hiring for this?
Well, MIT News covered a company called Guardian AG, and the quote says it
straight out.
There's a large shortage of pilots, especially for agricultural applications
and the dark reasons why manned crop dusters fly 140 plus miles an hour
at ground level.
And the industry loses one to two percent of its AG pilots every year
to fatal crashes.
So the demand didn't disappear.
The humans willing to die for it did.
OK, Shane, but how much work is actually out there?
Well, the industry's own survey says that spray drones treated
16.4 million acres last year, up 58.7% in a single year.
There are only 1710 approved operators in the entire country,
averaging almost 10,000 acres each.
And I bet nobody's filming this one either.
Well, Newey's AG vlog, a day as a drone spray pilot, sits at around 263,000
views, meaning people are fascinated by these videos.
And while checking this channel,
I found another video titled Making $700 an hour as a spray drone pilot.
Is it possible?
Basically, you can make $700 an hour as a spray drone pilot
and you don't even need the drone to win with this niche.
Tim Hall, one of our community members, runs an aviation channel.
In his first month with us, one of his videos pulled in over 150,000 views.
And just three months ago,
he had another video pop off and get over 464,000 views.
And what's interesting about his channel
is that he isn't showing his face on all of his videos.
And Glassdoor puts drone pilots around $94,000 median,
with a total pay ranging anywhere from $71,000 to $130,000 a year.
So a six figure job where a robot does the flying and you're the adult supervision.
All right. Next one is cybersecurity analysts.
These are the people who watch a company's systems for hackers,
reading alerts, spotting break ins, shutting attacks down, et cetera, et cetera.
And there's a security guard who's building his network.
And I can already hear it.
Shane, cybersecurity means a computer science degree and five certifications, right?
Well, the federal government itself removed degree and experience
requirements from around 100,000 federal IT and cyber positions
and moved to skills based hiring.
And in the national cyber director's words,
we need cybersecurity talent in every industry.
And in a Trellis survey, 56% of working cyber professionals
said a university degree is not needed.
OK, but I keep hearing about tech layoffs.
Surely there's no jobs left, right, Shane?
Well, CyberSeek, that's CompTIA and a federal NIST program,
counts 514,359 open cybersecurity jobs in the U.S.
with only enough workers to fill about 82% of the demand.
So there's half a million open seats.
If you want to see what you'd be signing up for, the people doing this job
are filming it. Tech with Jono's, a real day in the life in cybersecurity
in under 10 minutes, got around 705,000 views.
Mad Hats is titled the perfect beginner cybersecurity certification.
Start your career with no degree or experience that has around 109,000 views.
And people are getting paid to talk about this world, not just work in it.
One of my community members, for instance, Nicole, runs GRC for mere mortals.
She teaches people how to get into a very specific type of cybersecurity
career called governance, risk and compliance,
which is the audit side of cybersecurity.
And when she first came across my channel, just like in a video like this,
she had about 85 subscribers on YouTube and she was ready to quit.
And we helped her get to $80,000 in a single month.
So 85 subscribers to over $80,000 in a month.
And it's not just Nicole.
There's tens, if not hundreds of thousands of random little careers out there.
Josh helps people in the IT and cybersecurity industry
get into better jobs as well.
And we helped him get to $180,000 in a month.
Now, by the way, these cybersecurity jobs are heavy hitters.
They pay a lot.
According to Glassdoor, the pay is around 100 to $166,000 a year.
So half a million open jobs, no degree required.
And six figures.
This one's not weird. It's just wide open.
All right. Next is an insurance claims adjuster or an insurance
claims adjuster trainee.
So after someone crashes a car or a storm wrecks a house,
this is the person who interviews everyone, reviews the photos and estimates
and decides what the policy pays out.
They might say, Shane, insurance companies only hire finance majors in suits, right?
Well, no, not really.
Progressive, one of the biggest insurers in the country, runs an entire
entry level careers page with claims adjuster trainee openings
and nationwide built around their training, not your experience.
And how badly do they need people?
Badly enough that Progressive's own career channel posted a recruiting video
called Claims Adjuster at Progressive.
And when a Fortune 100 company makes YouTube videos to fill a job,
the applicant pile is empty, so they're not the only insurer doing it either.
Geico's A Day in the Life of a Geico Auto Claims Adjuster
is sitting around 140,000 views.
If you're picturing yourself climbing on a roof for this,
a lot of it is a desk now.
And there's a channel called Be A Claims Adjuster,
whose work from home day in the life video has over 28,000 views.
And this channel, by the way, is just made for people
who want to become claims adjusters.
And by the way, with a lot of these channels,
you can get paid by the audience for helping them get into the job.
And in some cases, you can actually get paid by the companies
for placing those people into the jobs as well.
And the pay for a job that trains you from scratch is not small.
Glassdoor estimates the pay is about sixty seven thousand dollars
and a company trains you from zero and you decide who gets paid what.
So, yeah, really good one. Very solid.
Probably not the most exciting one in the world,
but it's something that you can jump into.
All right. Next is a medical scribe.
So you follow a doctor through appointments and document everything.
Symptoms, history, exam, diagnosis, treatment plan.
So the doctor can look at the patient instead of a screen
and just show you how desperate this job is.
Scribe America, the biggest scribe employer in the country,
advertises scribe jobs requiring no previous experience with paid training.
But you might be thinking, OK, Shane, but who actually takes this job?
Well, every future doctor, nurse and PA in America.
So it's the classic foot in the door of medicine.
And Brittany Lee's day in the life of a scribe emergency department
clinical experience for medical school has around seventy five thousand views.
She's basically just walking premeds through why they should get this job
and why it's resume gold.
And you don't even have to be in the building.
A nurse fab films the virtual version of this job,
documenting visits over a headset from home.
And even the schools are recruiting on camera now,
filming day in the life content to pull people into the scribe careers.
And once you're inside medicine, the second paycheck is right there.
You basically just record yourself doing the job
or teaching a lot of patients how the system works.
And nurse Jen, one of our community members, was a burned out nurse
with 33 years of experience
who started answering her patients questions on camera instead.
And her videos hit six hundred and seven hundred thousand views.
And her adsense climbed from six thousand, her first monetized month
to eight thousand the next month and then ten thousand five hundred
the month after that.
This was all recorded from her camper van.
Now, let me be straight with you on the pay,
because this is the lowest number on the list.
Glassdoor shows around fifty six thousand six hundred and sixty seven dollars.
But the realistic beginner range is forty to fifty five thousand.
So this is not a retire on a job.
This is a foot in the door job, right?
You get paid to stand in the room where medicine happens with zero experience
and you get to familiarize yourself with the medical system.
So there's a secret side of my business that most of you have no idea exists.
And I actually have a coaching program on personal branding
and growing on YouTube and making money on YouTube.
This is good for complete beginners,
maybe even people who just want to get a job by growing their personal brand,
as well as business owners,
all the way up to people who are very advanced on YouTube.
And they get to work directly
with myself and my team to help them reach their goals.
Now we are opening up three to five spots, and this is pretty rare.
We usually don't have these open.
We usually only limit them to a select amount of people as well.
But we're opening up three to five spots
and you can check those down the description and comment below.
And in this program, you will get to work directly with myself
and other people who are highly successful on YouTube.
Everyone in our program has hundred K plus subscriber plaques.
Just as an example, Sean was able to go all the way from being stuck,
not making very much money on his channel, making over five hundred
thousand dollars in a single month.
Now, that's an example of one of my more advanced students.
But there are lots of examples of people starting out from scratch
and they got to five K a month or 10 K a month, et cetera.
So check that out down the description and the pen comment below.
And I look forward to working with you and see if we're a good fit
to work together.
So, guys, as somebody who has helped thousands of people get jobs
and then I've trained a bunch of people on how they can help other people as well.
And a lot of my community members are people that literally just help
you get into careers.
But it's not just careers.
It could be money related or it could be health related
or it could be any sort of problem that you've solved
or any experience that you have and you can just teach other people.
For instance, Nathan, I was just talking to him the other night,
makes a full time income with a tiny chess channel
and has nine thousand subscribers.
Right.
He's literally just teaching other adult learners how to play chess
and get to a pretty good level.
So if you want to learn exactly how to do that and get an A.I.
that we took hundreds of hours to develop, it's completely free
and helps you do this as well.
Then go ahead and click that first link in the description,
the pen comment below.
And we look forward to seeing you there.
With that being said, check out this video right here
to see exactly how we help my brother Zach go from zero to full time income
in less than one month by simply teaching other people
how to get into the trades.
