Video Summary
AI Generated
This video identifies five \"AI-proof\" career paths where demand and salaries are rising because AI cannot replace human expertise or physical labor. It highlights the paradox where fear of AI discourages new entrants, creating lucrative opportunities for those in specialized medical, technical, and trade roles, while suggesting a strategy to monetize this expertise via content creation.
These are five AI-proof jobs begging for workers right now,
and I am confident at least one of them
is going to be a good fit for you.
One pays up to $157,000 for a job that most people can't even name.
And several will take you with no degree.
And one of them is the career that the godfather
of AI himself calls a good bet.
Now, I'm the guy who went $300,000 in student loan debt for a doctorate
and then working in the medical field before
I figured out how careers actually work.
So I built the career channel that I wish I had.
And my business partners and I have over
a thousand verified testimonials
from people that we've helped land jobs.
And most people here, AI took that job and walk away without checking.
But the people who check are finding short lines,
desperate employers, and pay that keeps climbing.
Every stat is on the screen with a named source,
not AI slop, and my personal pick is hiding
near the end.
So if you appreciate me making this type of content,
let me know by gently cheersing that
like button and let's jump into it right now.
All right. The first one is going to be an embryologist.
And this might be the most
important job that you've never heard
a single person talk about. And it was supposed to be
wiped out by AI. Now, an embryologist is a scientist
or lab expert who helps people have
babies using fertility treatments like IVF.
And they handle and care for human eggs, sperm,
and embryos in a special lab.
And their hands literally hold somebody's future kid in a petri dish
Now, you've seen the headlines.
AI picks the embryos now. Robot IVF labs, all of it.
And the headlines aren't lying.
MIT Technology Review reports that AI systems already rank embryos,
and an AI-assisted robotic IVF system has
at least 19 real babies born from it.
So the job must be done for, right? Wrong.
The fertility industry's own trade press
projects that it needs 43,000 more human embryologists
and 4,000 new IVF labs by 2035.
Just to meet demand.
The same reports say that the embryologist shortage is now as bad
or worse than the shortage of fertility doctors
and it's driving up salaries.
And remember this line because it runs through the whole video.
When everyone writes the job off, the job starts overpaying.
And this is very similar to what's happened at, let's just say,
every technological advancement in all of human history.
So for instance, when farm equipment came out,
it killed 40% of U.S. jobs.
But it freed up workers to have better jobs.
In factories, food processing, and equipment manufacturing.
So way more jobs popped up.
Then factories came out, and they killed blacksmiths,
weavers, and home craftsmen.
Then telecommunication came out,
and it killed telegraph messengers and switchboard operators.
But it created call centers, phone sales,
customer service, and broadcasting.
Then computers came out, and it killed typing pools,
manual bookkeepers, and human calculators.
But it created programmers.
IT departments and data analysts.
And then the internet came out.
It killed most travel agents,
video store clerks, and newspaper classifieds.
But it created e-commerce, digital marketing,
app developers, and an entire creator economy.
And hey, AI came out, and it's killing some jobs as well,
or it's changing the nature of jobs.
But even more jobs are popping up as a consequence of it.
So a great example of that is when ATMs first came out.
Everybody thought that bank tellers were all going to lose their jobs.
And at first, there were bank tellers that were laid off.
pivoted into giving better service to their customers
instead of spending all of their time counting money, right?
So it is the exact same thing happening here.
And to me, this job is so fascinating
because you are responsible
for bringing a human into the world.
And people are obsessed with this kind of stuff.
I mean, who wouldn't be, right?
And that's why there's a 43 second clip
called Watch an Egg Get Fertilized
and it's gained 5.7 million views.
And this was an artificial fertilization.
And while I was looking into this job,
I found another video from Ted Ed
that's an explainer video on how IVF works.
3.4 million views.
And according to view stats, that video alone made over $16,000.
So millions of people are watching this job get done,
but almost nobody doing the job is filming it.
And that's why when Heather was hired as an embryologist,
She filmed herself doing the job.
And I hope you get the point here.
You do the job and then you record yourself doing the job
and you can get paid even extra for doing it.
More on that later.
But embryologists make about 96 to $157,000 a year, guys.
Now, by the way, the way to get into these jobs
is gonna be different
depending on the country you're watching
or the state that you're watching this from,
what your background experience is
and a bunch of other things.
And that is why we created an AI
where you just have to answer a few questions
and it will give you step-by-step instructions
on how to get into these exact jobs.
that is personalized to you and your situation.
So you can click the third link in the description
and the pinned comment below to access that.
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
in as little as 15 to 30 minutes a day
and you can actually grow a full-time YouTube channel.
That's exactly what I'm gonna be talking about
at the live training.
We're doing this week exactly how
to start YouTube step-by-step for beginners.
So click the link in the description in the
pinned 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 AI 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 is stuff that we never talked about before.
So click that link in the description in the pinned comment below.
I look forward to seeing you there.
All right, let's move on to the second job in the list,
which is a COBOL or mainframe developer.
And yes, I'm telling you that a dead programming language
from 1960s is a job in this video.
Now, COBOL developers maintain the decades old systems
that still process the money.
Banks, insurance companies, healthcare, government,
the code that your paycheck probably runs through right now.
And everyone assumed that AI killed this job twice.
First, because the language is ancient,
and second, because AI can translate old code.
But here's what an AWS executive,
aka the people building the AI translation tools,
told ITPro.
AI can't and shouldn't replace COBOL experts.
Because you need humans to validate the code
and explain the business logic.
And her exact problem is that COBOL expertise is declining
and the AI company is publicly begging for humans.
Everyone thought that the AI replaced
and the desperation is visible, right?
There's a tech recruiter named Chris, and he's on YouTube right now
pitching a real remote mainframe role at $102 an hour.
And so when you have a recruiter making content
because he can't fill a seat,
you know that they're down bad
and they really need people who have this skill set.
Recruiter shows over 64 open COBOL developer listings
as I'm recording this video right now,
and they pay really well. And as you probably know,
if you follow the channel, what I advocate
is that once you are hired in a job,
film yourself doing the job or teach people how to do the job
or teach people how to get into the job
or teach people the tech that's involved in getting into
the job or what certifications people have to take to get into it
or the skills that they need
to know to get into it, et cetera, et cetera.
Basically the boring stuff, because this stuff
And that's why a creator named Dee made
a video called The World Depends on 60-Year-Old
Code That No One Knows Anymore,
and it got 1.1 million views, because even programmers
are just now discovering this hidden lane.
And even the consulting giants
are running AI-powered COBOL modernization projects, which
is exactly why the human experts get hired to check the machine's work.
COBOL developers in general make about $83,000
to $138,000 a year, and they are in
All right. Next is going to be a data center electrician.
And this one is ironic
because people keep saying that AI is taking everybody's jobs.
The AI cannot even turn itself on without an electrician.
Right. Every answer ChatGPT gives you comes
from physical servers sitting inside enormous buildings.
And those buildings need power systems, backup batteries,
generators, control panels and thousands of electrical connections.
And every one of them still has to be installed
and maintained and repaired by an actual electrician.
And Wired told the whole story in one headline,
why there aren't enough electricians and plumbers
to build AI data centers.
And CBS Evening News covered the same crisis, roughly 400,000 unfilled
trade jobs in the United States
with the data center boom stacking demand on top of them.
And it's not only technicians.
Data centers need plumbers and pipe fitters to move cooling water,
a trade that's already projected to be short 550,000 people.
HVAC techs to keep the servers from overheating,
welders for the steel, fiber technicians to connect everything,
and generator techs to keep it alive when the grid blinks.
And that's why the godfather of AI himself, Jeffrey Hinton,
the same man who famously told the world to stop training radiologists,
now said that his best career bet is...
Word for word, to be a plumber.
And NVIDIA CEO, Jensen Huang,
says that we're gonna need hundreds of thousands
of these trade workers
because a single AI data center
takes up to 1,500 of them to build.
And a lot of them clear $100,000 with no degree.
And Bloomberg's name for all of this,
they're calling it a blue collar gold rush.
Here's how desperate the employers actually got.
Meta is putting 115 million into a free trades academy.
You finish the training,
you walk out with an industry credential,
and you get paired with one of Meta's own.
So, while the tech companies cut office jobs,
which for sure, there are some jobs that are
actually getting cut, they're spending millions recruiting
the people who can physically build
the AI economy.
And Google is even producing behind-the-scenes
recruiting films for its data center crews.
And by the way, one little pro tip is whenever you see
a company producing videos talking
about specific careers,
you know that they're down bad when it comes to that career.
You know that they badly need people.
To work in those jobs.
And this is where my brother Zach's story gets really interesting.
Zach spent almost 30 years working in the trades.
And he was doing the exact hands-on skills
that these companies are now spending millions trying to find.
But after decades in the trades,
the work was taking a real toll on his body.
And on a family vacation, he pulled
me aside and he asked me straight up,
how do I keep making money without breaking my body?
And he expected me to probably tell him like an online job
or some sort of certification
or maybe a cushy office job.
But I just told him, just start YouTube, bro.
Every excuse in the book.
He said, oh, I'm too old.
I'm in my 50s.
No one wants to listen to a 50-year-old.
I'm not tech savvy.
I've never recorded a video in my life.
I don't know anything about social media, et cetera, et cetera.
But I just told him, just trust me,
follow the playbook, follow the system, and it's
going to work for you.
So instead of letting 30 years
of experience disappear, he put it on YouTube.
And his channel, Zach of All Trades,
he teaches people how these jobs actually work and what
the different trades really pay
and how to get in without wasting years on the wrong
path.
And he's even got a whole video breaking down
whether you should become an electrician or
not, just as an example.
Here's the part that most tradespeople never even consider.
Zach didn't just use his experience to find work.
He turned the experience into a second income.
His first ever video that he posted took off, got over 822,000 views.
And 29 days later, he made $214 in a single day from AdSense.
That's about a $78,000 a year run rate.
So he went from zero to a full-time income in less than a month.
And just last month, he had his record month, and it was over $18,000.
Zach's story hands you two separate plates.
You can walk into a trade that these employers
are desperate for, or once you have experience,
you can teach what you know online and build a
whole new income stream on top of it.
Because it is very clear that the modern education system
is not filling these jobs up fast enough, right?
It is not properly training people for the jobs
that actually have demand.
They're too busy forcing people to get completely useless
degrees that put them tens of thousands
of dollars in student loan debt with absolutely
nothing to show for it. Excuse my language.
And by the way, it's not just Zach. There's tons of
other people that I have helped
in my community literally teach what they already know on YouTube,
whether it's career-related stuff.
There's a lot of people like that. For instance, Nurse Jen,
she went from zero to a full-time income in just a few months,
quit her job. She's making over
$10,000 a month now and traveling all over
the United States in her van, living her dream life.
And it's because she started sharing what she
was already telling her patients on it.
on a day-to-day basis on YouTube.
And she's actually 60 years old
and she literally just recorded it on her webcam.
Or Josh Mattacor.
He's been working in IT and cybersecurity for a long time.
And he started making these very useful videos
just teaching people about IT and cybersecurity
and how to land the best jobs.
And he went from zero to over $180,000
in a single month doing this.
And by the way, it's not just job related.
It's anything that you have solved problems with,
any experience that you have.
You can just teach it on YouTube.
And especially if you're on the older side,
this is working incredibly well.
So just as an example of something
that's not job-related, Isaiah Harris.
He teaches people how to sing
at a professional level of competence.
And he started with us this year
and he's now made over $100,000 on YouTube.
And he was able to quit his sales job because of it.
Or Dr. Danny.
She's working as a doctor,
but she also loves makeup and skincare.
So we combined her profession
and her professional expertise with her passion.
And her channel is all about how to age well.
And one of the very first videos
that she uploaded using our system
did over 900,000 views in just a few weeks.
And these people are not special.
Using the same playbook that I'm talking about today,
you go through life, you do jobs, you acquire experience,
and then you just film yourself doing the job
or you teach other people how to do the thing
or overcome the problem or what you learned with your experience.
And a lot of the time, it's really boring stuff.
As I always say, there's billions in the boring.
Now, if you want to learn exactly how I helped all
of these community members achieve these results,
I'm actually doing a live training this week where I'm going
to go over exactly how to do it as a beginner step by step.
You can click the link in the description
in the pinned comment below to check that out.
And I'll also be giving away a one-time bonus for attending,
which is an AI that helps you
pick your niche if you don't have one already,
or if you already have one, it's going to
help you make it 10 times better.
So do not miss out on it.
Click that link in the description, the pinned
comment below, and I look forward to seeing
you there.
All right, next is a medical interpreter.
So this is the job that Google Translate
was supposed to kill 10 years ago, and AI was
definitely supposed to finish it off.
But the opposite happened.
Medical interpreters convert what the doctors say
and what the patients say in real time
During diagnoses, emergencies.
And consent conversations where one
wrong word can genuinely hurt somebody.
And here's the reality check.
The Hastings Center reports that medical interpretation in the U.S.
is so inadequate that it's actively harming patients.
So delayed emergency care for kids,
more medical errors, higher costs, etc., etc.
Because there aren't enough human interpreters,
and hospitals keep falling back on machine translation
that fails exactly when it matters.
And Google Translate doesn't even support Cantonese properly.
Which is a language with over 70 million speakers.
And HIMS, the health tech industry's own body,
says that hospitals are exploring AI translation tools
specifically because of interpreter shortages,
while admitting that nobody has a consistent way
to test whether those tools are safe or not.
And the shortage is so bad that they're reaching for tools
that they can't even verify.
That is not a replaced job.
That is a desperate one.
And it's even gotten serious enough that JAMA,
the top medical journal in the country,
is publishing episodes debating
whether AI can safely interpret in a clinic.
And the language services companies
are so hungry for interpreters
that they are producing entire podcast series
about the career just to recruit people into it.
Now, to know exactly what a medical interpreter does,
I went to YouTube and found a video
from Wired where they filmed a professional interpreter
and had him break down a real-time interpretation.
And that video has 9.2 million views.
And it made $45,000.
And that's just in AdSense money alone.
And by the way, there's way better ways
to make money on YouTube outside of AdSense.
We made like $33,000 last month from AdSense.
And that was less than 5% of our total income.
That's another thing I'm going to be talking about
at the live training.
So click that link in the description
in the pinned comment below to check that out.
$45,000 just from ad revenue alone for a relatively simple video.
So if you are thinking of doing this job,
then I suggest that you record yourself doing
the job and get paid extra for it.
Because medical interpreters make $79,000 to $147,000 a year.
And the next job is going to be a pharmacist
or just medical careers in general.
But I'm choosing pharmacist for a specific reason because...
I used to be one.
Now, pharmacists are the last checkpoint
between a doctor's prescription and your body.
And they catch the deadly drug interactions
and dosing mistakes before you swallow them.
And everybody believed that AI would replace pharmacists.
But according to research, AI is just a tool
and could not replace the pharmacists.
And according to me, that's a big duh, but I am biased.
And Axios reports that pharmacy school applications collapsed by 64%
from about 100,000 a year down to about 36,000.
While Walgreens' own chief pharmacy officer is out here saying,
quote, we have got to evolve this to get people excited
to get back in the industry.
So let's go ahead and walk through what actually happened here, right?
AI and automation showed up around this job.
The applicants vanished, but the jobs didn't.
AI did not take the jobs.
It took the applicants.
And the BLS still projects
that there's 14,200 pharmacy openings every single year.
And they make a median of $137,000.
And you can watch this whole irony play out on screen.
Violin MD shadowed a hospital pharmacist
for a full shift, got 643,000 views.
And the video literally shows the pharmacy robots working
while the human pharmacist
runs everything around them.
And I would know why people are quitting this job
because they are getting burned out.
Now you might ask, how would you know that, Shane?
Well, I'm glad you asked.
Well, it's because I am a pharmacist myself.
I went to school, got my doctorate,
became a pharmacist
because I didn't want to be poor anymore.
And I got into $300,000 in student loan debt.
And it was really a terrible situation
because I started as a pharmacist
right before the pandemic hit.
And I was overworked, stressed out, depressed, burnt out.
And if all of that wasn't enough,
we also got robbed three times in a six month period.
So I was also in fear of my physical safety
on a day-to-day basis.
And because of that,
I tried just about every side hustle out there
to make money.
And that includes YouTube.
And I would write my scripts during my lunch
and record during the weekends.
And fast forward to today, I've made over
$10 million from my YouTube channel.
I've helped over 1,000 verified testimonials get their dream jobs.
And I've helped another 1,000 people build
their side income using YouTube.
And for most of them, it was as a side hustle
on top of what they were already doing,
like their current job.
Just like Nurse Jen, for instance, who was a telehealth nurse.
And she said it was burning her out
and she needed a way to find another income.
She found my content, started attending my live trainings,
and booked a call with us and joined our program.
Before joining us, she said she was a complete
She's a complete beginner, no idea what to make, and no experience.
And in her own words, she said,
I hadn't dipped my toe into YouTube yet.
And now she's got over 40,000 subscribers
and her channel already has 5.1 million views.
Three of her videos have already gotten over 600,000 views.
And I just spoke with her recently
and she told me that one, she now travels all over
the US in her camper van, which was always
her dream thanks to us, which is absolutely
unreal.
And she records her videos part time
while she's traveling in her camper van inside the
van itself, literally on her laptop with her webcam.
This month, she made over $10,000 just from AdSense alone.
And these are numbers that most creators chase for years.
But she was able to achieve that in a matter of a few months.
And she was able to do all of it
because of my YouTube systems, as well as AI.
So AI giveth and AI taketh away sometimes.
But if you want to be on the side of AI giving you something,
and if you want to learn exactly how Nurse Jen got these results,
and oh, by the way, she's 60 years old.
I didn't mention that.
But if you want to learn how she got these results,
go ahead and click the link in the description
and the pinned comment below
to attend the live training.
And I look forward to seeing you there.
With that being said, I know 99% of you are going
to watch these videos, get a ton of value out of them.
You're going to download the free resources that I have
in the description, get a ton of value out of those.
And you're going to attend my live trainings
and get a lot of value out of that as well.
And we are never going to end up working together.
And that is completely fine.
I always want to give way more value than what I receive.
But I also know that there's 1% of you out there, maybe 0.1%
of you out there that want a one-on-one mentorship experience.
You want to work with us very closely
so you can get results on YouTube as quickly and easily as possible.
Literally just do the work for you.
And if that sounds like you,
go ahead and book a call
by clicking the link in the description
and the pinned comment below.
But only do it if you are very serious
about growing and making money on YouTube.
We only accept about 18% of people who apply.
Types of people we typically work with
are professionals with at least 10 years of experience
or overachievers.
Basically people that have value to give to the world.
They've solved problems.
They have experience.
They have wisdom.
And they can help other people solve their problems
by making content on YouTube.
Or business owners that want to grow their brand on YouTube,
get more clients and make more money.
YouTubers that are already getting views,
but they're struggling with monetization
or YouTubers that are crushing it,
but they want to crush it even harder or people that
are big on other social media platforms,
or they already have audiences that they want
to bring over to YouTube because they know
that YouTube is the best platform.
So if that sounds like you, go ahead and click
the second link in the description, the pin
comment below to book that call.
But again, only do it if you are very serious
about growing and making money on YouTube.
It is very expensive for us to do one-on-one work with people.
So it's going to cost a lot of money
and we give the information away for free, but we
sell the implementation.
And if you want to learn exactly how we help.
Well, I just did an interview with her and you can check
that out by clicking right here.
