Number 11, contract killer Number 12, drug dealer

The sad part is that none of these give me any inspiration to go to work everyday.

I'm 12 and i'm already worried about my future Edit: I’m 16 now, and know exactly what I want to be! I want to be an architect or an orthopedic technician. Don’t really care about how much I make, as long as I like it. I just realized it LOL

"Suprisingly high paying jobs" "Be a doctor."

How is anesthesiologist a "surprisingly" high paying job? There's nothing at all surprising about it.

Lol you guys seriously put anesthesiology on here? It takes like 12+ years education and residency plus $200-400K for medical school

#1: Asking for a small loan of a million dollars

You cant compare california salaries to other cities almost everything is more expensive in California so the salaries are higher

The most suprisingly high paying job is just sitting down playing games 0.0

Basically give up your family weekends and work nightshifts and public holidays.

Also Stripper. Not even joking, you can make 6 figures, off the book, without any education. And if you work at a city club, you don't even need to be good at it.

2:49 Not sure why a job that requires a doctorate being high paying is "surprising"

10 - Rail Conductor 0:30 09 - Crab Fishermen 1:03 08 - Building Inspector 1:48 07 - Egg Donor 2:19 06 - Anesthesiologists 2:48 05 - Write for the Federal Government 3:45 04 - Longshoreman 4:22 03 - Mine Operator - Underground 5:19 02 - City Employees 5:56 01 - Firefighter 6:44

Number 11: Bartending. Easily make $90k working 4-5 days a week at a good bar in a city. Go in a 4pm, get out at 2am, have your mornings and afternoons off. Listen to poor people tell you to get a real job.

Seems like a typo on Building inspector, showing as "Crab Fisherman"

every grunt: you have to work your way up and wont see your family much every grat: you get money

A word of warning to aspiring firefighters, you will be expected to respond to every call whether you are fully rested, in the middle of a nap or going on 48 hours with no sleep. A large number of those calls will be false alarms, too.

Beware that cost of living ratio...

I rarely comment on UKposts videos, but this bugged me - fire DO NOT start at 120k a year! My husband is a fireman and without any overtime he would make maybe 56,000 and this is in Los Angeles. They have to work a decent amount of overtime to make 6 figures which means they don't have the cushy schedule like you mentioned. Also, for those saying their retirement benefits are too much, why don't you rush into a burning building, or pull bodies out of a horrendous car wreck, or save lives. Seriously, it's a strenuous job, mentally and physically, not too many can or would want to do it. Also, FACT you do not have to be a paramedic. You have to be an EMT, which is different. Makes me question all the numbers on the other jobs mentioned!

Unless you got a family member that’s a longshoreman, forget about that one for sure. -a guy in LA.

I’m a Firefighter in the 4th Largest City (Houston) and I will NEVER come close to making $300k a year even if I were to work my way up to Chief over a 35yr career. This list is a joke

aye I am changing career to crabbing

10- railroad conductor 9 - crab fisherman 8 - building inspector 7 - egg donor 6 - anaesthesiologist 5 - write for the federal government 4 - longshoreman 3 - mine operator (underground) 2 - city employees (farmers market manager/ head librarian etc) 1 - firefighter

I just found this channel last week, and I'm in LOVE!! It is just perfect. Thank you. x

Someone told me when I was little, that firefighters didn't get paid

10)railroad conducter 9)crab fisherman 8) building inspector 7)egg donor 6) anesthesiologist 5)writer/editor for the federal government 4)longshore man 3)mine operator (underground) 2)city employees 1)fire fighter Ah hem your welcome

1. Marry a billionaire

You guys forgot power line worker, lineman, one of the most in demand jobs in America and every time the wind blows you’re on double time, most journeyman bring in 150-200k and some up to 250k depending on how many storms you work 🤷‍♀️

Thank you for also explaining the cons to these jobs!!

Anesthesiologists go through some of the most intense med school and residency programs out there next to cardiologist surgeons. Not to mention its incredibly meticulous and if you dont get it wrong your patient could still get seriously hurt by anesthetics..

In the uk doctors get paid a lot worse than in the US

But imagine the sacrifices, investment (time and money), and/or opportunity cost of these jobs. Find a balance between good pay, satisfaction, and other factors like safety, comfort, effects on your body, etc

hey man, I really like your videos, they are very informative, question, do you make all those draws and animations? what do you use to do it?

damn that donor is thicc

Would love to see "10 surprisingly high paying jobs that don't require a degree"

This really helped foe my future job finding:)

And how much of these things do you learn in school? *NONE*

At 2:08 it says crab fisherman instead of building inspector

I made 26k as a firefighter

Time to be a firefighter

I just found this channel last week, and I'm binging every chance I get! The graphics are just too cute, but exact lol. Not to mention the great things we all learn while intrigued by said graphics. ;) Thank you! This channel is amazing when battling "alone ness", and feeling poopy. THANK YOU-Christa. ps: I'm from Newfoundland, Canada. I worked on a shrimp/crab boat. Shit pay for the gruesome , dangerous work.Whew!

My dad was an anesthesiologist... They do make a ton but the school is majority of your life..

egg donor? sign me up

How many ppl that need jobs watched this :)

They really should take location into consideration here!! Like 100k a year in a major city like NewYork will probably go about as far as 50-60k a year in in a mid-western place like Utah!

Surprise. Surprise... Hard work is what I hear in all of them...

Here's a good one, Expediter. You can drive your personal vehicle, making LTL (less than truckload) deliveries for a freight broker. I myself worked all year long at McDonalds, saving up money to buy a cargo van that can haul up to 2500lbs. BUT I didn't know until after that I could have used the minivan I used to drive before I got my work van. Some of the loads I took did in fact go up to 2500lbs but then I would get a few runs that were only a couple of small boxes. I make about $1900 to $2100 every two weeks. I'll never have to work at McDonalds ever again. But I spend a great deal of time away from home. I basically live in my van and going out to eat gets expensive. But the trade off money wise is worth it. If you DO decide to go this route, save every single fuel receipt from when you fuel up while working, otherwise it will look like you made more money than you actually did when you file taxes. I spend about $300 to $350 a week on fuel. You will get a straight $25/day deduction for food, wither you eat or not. You could probably save in taxes if you don't eat as much. I purchased a coleman single burner stove and started cooking meals in my van to save money. Also if you buy food and fuel at a gas station, keep your food purchases separate from your fuel purchase. Put all your fuel receipts and any receipt from buying tools or paying for vehicle repairs in a folder to show the tax preparer at the end of the year. Download an app on your smartphone that keeps track of your miles. That's important too. Apparently individual states will want you to pay taxes if you just even drive thru their state. My job sends me all the way to Detroit MI to Dayton, OH to even Nebraska. I've actually seen the bridge going into Canada. I got excited about the idea of finally getting to travel outside the US and applied for my passport! If the tax part frightens you, just let the tax guy worry about it. You just save your receipts and log your miles. If you want to start doing LTL runs, you could probably get away with using your car but go for a work van eventually, it doesn't require a CDL and you can drive without having your own authority. Also the newer your vehicle is, the better it looks when you go to a freight broker for work. My van is a 2004, Ford E-150. I feel lucky that my company puts my van to work, especially sice now it has over 300k miles. But I feel better now that I have enough money to buy a replacement vehicle in case my van cluncks out. But I try to stretch out the use of my van. I've learned quite a bit about vehicle repair from watching youtube videos.

I got a few realistic ones for you : 1 : Go live in a country where life is cheap like Thailand and teach English online 2 : PHP developer, you can learn in less than 6 months and bank a lot 3 : work in hospitality on cruise ships, you don't pay food and rent for 6 months and cash-in everything 4 : If you're good looking you can work for a professional escort agency. Not talking about legal prostitution here.. There actually are services for business class lonely people who need to show up at a event/meeting/wedding with a company. 5 : freelance personal trainer, specially if you train groups 6 : IT maintenance for company, most times you do routine checkups (nothing in other words) update their machines their servers.. good luck

What a difference, here in Chile a miner barely makes between 12k to 20k a year. And Firefighters are volunteers, no pay, no insurance, and when they are in route to an emergency, fire trucks even have to stop and pay at tolls.

The Infographics Show . please make part two

2:12 says "Crab Fisherman" on the side instead of building inspector

Very interesting.

I love your vids keep it

How dare number 9 be legal

Firefighters don't earn that much trust me.

Thanku soo much

Wish I went through with firefighting. I chickened out when the physical exam part came. I could've retired at half pay by now.

I wish educaters and teachers were paid more

A note on the Longshoreman job- my step father is a longshoreman. The only time he does any major physical work is if he is helping to load luggage for cruise ships. That's just due to his particular job, which is simply to move containers to where they need to be, with a machine of course. Longshoreman can experience really uneven work days, but they tend to steady out as you gain seniority within the company you work for. For example, before my step father gained 10 year seniority, he was once on the job for a total of 72 hours. At his specific pier, they allow 2 hour breaks every so often. Still, even with seniority, expect long work days. The job can be dangerous if you're not careful, chances are you'll be manning industrial vehicles that are very big and very expensive, not to mention whatever is in the containers themselves. With certain cargo ships, you may have to load some pretty expensive cars to be shipped to other places. My stepfather claims he had driven a BMW i8,and a very small handful or Porsches. Funny enough, you can get a kind of decent enough visual on how the job works in the GTA 5 mission where you have to impersonate a longshoreman.

Does anyone have tips for an aspiring programmer/graphic designer? For instance, what's the best programming language to learn first?

0:45 for railway conductor, you guys have building inspector in the top right

As a career firefighter/medic this is nowhere close to the national average. It's literally an incredibly under appreciated and underpaid job most of us do it because it's extremely rewarding definitely not for the money. These numbers come from like one or two departments, just look at Houston and the horrible pay those guys get for working in one of the biggest and largest fds in the country not to mention the city screwing the guys pension. More research for sure should have been done

Can u do Nike Vs Adidas please!!!

2:07 you have the "crab fisherman" money tag up for the building inspector...

In Europe, you can make big bucks from jobs related to the railroad. Some train drivers in Sweden make after taxes about 120k Euros a year, we pay 33 to 60% income tax depending on how much you earn, a train drivers salary would be approx 50% tax.

Mean while in India without any education there are some politicians who earns million dollars, if you know what I mean

what about if your a marine engineer in the Irish navy, you could get paid over 100,000 a year if you work your way up the ranks

I found most of these jobs very surprising. And the one that seemed tangible for me is the farmers market manager Job. I also think about being a firefighter because of it’s duty to discipline. To be honest, i can picture myself being a “mine operator” as mentioned here in the video . I Do like these other trades mentioned. Hope to find a good job I enjoy someday.

Oilfield worker 90k-200k. There are a lot of jobs in the oilfields; Frac, sand or chemical hauler, water transfer, wireline, drilling rig (rough neckers), just to name a few. With no schooling or at the most needing a commercial drivers license, you can net over 100k a year right off the bat plus a lot of companies offer bonuses and really affordable healthcare. The downside is it's very physical work with a lot of lifting and swinging sledge hammers involved and operate in strange work rotations, where you might work 2 weeks on/ 1 week off or 2 weeks on /2 weeks off (really nice work rotarion). These kinds of schedules and that most companies offer travel pay, means you can live anywhere you want, go anywhere you want, as long as you make it back in time for your rotation. I've known guys that live in Trinidad in the Caribbeans and fly in to work on the company's dime.

Take a shot every time he says working your way up

I subscribed and notified I'm on the notification Squad

Firefighting you also have to clean debris. Many smaller areas dont pay or are nominal. My brother is one and theres a fire college near me. Youre also required to be an EMT. Many of the guys transition to be RNs

Why should you trust a firefighter's advice to prevent fires if they get paid because of fires?

Shouldn't it be a crabberman because you can fish crabs

I would like to write for the Federal Govt. I am a past govt., employee! Are there any part-time jobs doing this do you know? Thank you! Very informative!

Hello I noticed a slight grammar error on your video. In the top left yellow bar it said “crab fisherman “ twice

Do the US' Nimitz Class aircraft carrier VS the UK's HMS Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier as it's the second largest....just before the Nimitz Class.

Firefighters do NOT make $300,000 a year! Longshoreman do NOT make 6 figures! State employees (even in Santa Monica) do NOT make 6 figures! lmao where did these numbers even come from. Sources?

My dad's a longshoreman and he earns a lot but he says he knew a few people who have gotten crushed by the big crates(??) that were unloaded and died, so be careful if you want that kind of job

I hope I'm able to bring back six action figures...

You forgot pimping

Who else agree's that they just typed into Google "jobs that surprisingly pay well."

Wait to become a doctor (not including residency) do u need undergraduate then medical or is there masters in between

Would definitely try the cargo loading, surprised to see firefighter, and now its on my mind.

None of these were surprising, and I wouldn't dream of working at any of them.

Railroad industry isn't dying, It is actually thriving, Just because people don't ride on them anymore doesn't mean it's "dying" it's still one of the best ways to deliver goods. This just bothers me so much because I din't think you would make such a stupid mistake, also it probably would have ranked higher.

I went to university and am in directional drilling for weatherford, the pay is very nice, around 140k and just a bachelors is required

Along with structural firefighters, Wildland firefighters on hotshot crews make very good money with the insane amount of overtime they collect during a season

I thought the job in the thumbnail was also a high paying job

Another one that pays pretty good is warehousing and forklift operator. I make about $5 per hour over the average salary for the area I'm in for driving a forklift.

I have a question for the creators of this video. How long did it take to create this awesome video?

11. Rugrat crews in city areas such as Santa Monica that support Electric Scooter share companies - they charge and repair their scooters. They are not direct employees of Bird, Lime, Razor, etc., but I personally know several people doing this and they are banking over $100K each! (Working 50-60 flexible hours per week.)
