0:00 So not many people know this,
0:01 but I actually did go to college
0:03 and I actually
0:04 graduated as an accountant.
0:06 And if you would ask me,
0:07 if you were to start all over again,
0:09 would you have done everything the same?
0:11 The answer is absolutely not.
0:14 I would have not done accountant.
0:16 It took me about four years.
0:18 And in those four years,
0:18 I could have made so much money if I
0:20 found this list before.
0:22 So in this video,
0:23 I'm gonna give you
0:23 guys the seven best jobs
0:26 if you wanna start over again,
0:28 whether it's because
0:29 you lost your license,
0:30 you found out the job you loved
0:32 is not really the job you love.
0:34 Or for example, you
0:35 wanna make more money,
0:36 whatever it is, there's
0:37 something on this list for you.
0:39 And my favorite one is number six
0:41 because it's my
0:41 favorite, but most importantly,
0:43 you can make almost upwards to $500,000,
0:47 which is actually a bunch of money.
0:48 But there is nothing on this list
0:51 that takes more than two years of
0:53 schooling or training,
0:55 which is massive,
0:56 because we're almost
0:57 told like the only way
0:59 to make a lot of money is
1:01 to go to school for a decade.
1:03 No, that's not what this list is about.
1:05 And most importantly, guys,
1:07 if you want more details like the
1:08 description of the job,
1:09 the salary, the license
1:11 you need, all that stuff,
1:12 I'm gonna have it linked down below.
1:14 But for this video,
1:15 what I really wanna do is to tell you
1:17 how I would approach this myself.
1:19 Like how would I try to
1:21 change careers into something?
1:23 Because everything is like a
1:25 Google away, chat GPT away,
1:27 but this way you
1:28 actually get some insight
1:29 and how I would approach this
1:31 and you can basically
1:31 try it out for yourself.
1:33 So let's get right into this video.
1:35 Number one, it's going to be
1:36 becoming a real estate agent.
1:38 Now, obviously, when I
1:39 think about a real estate agent,
1:41 I think about someone that makes about 3%
1:43 of the purchase price of this home.
1:45 And if you sell a home for $500,000,
1:48 well, guess what?
1:49 That's about $15,000.
1:51 Now imagine if you
1:53 sold a $10 million home,
1:55 that's $300,000,
1:57 that's so much money, right?
1:58 But who the heck is
2:00 going to give a person
2:01 that just got their
2:02 license a $10 million home
2:04 or yet alone a $500,000 listing?
2:08 Most of the time,
2:09 you're not going to
2:10 be able to get it done.
2:11 So here is how I would approach this.
2:14 First, I would make
2:15 long-term investments in clients.
2:18 Real estate agents don't just
2:20 make money by selling homes.
2:21 They also make money by renting homes
2:24 and leasing them out, okay?
2:25 And guess what?
2:26 Every single person that I know,
2:29 well, whenever they're renting,
2:30 usually they're thinking
2:31 about buying in the future.
2:33 That's what happened to me, okay?
2:34 I had an agent that
2:35 helped me find, for example,
2:37 a rental in Puerto Rico.
2:38 And then that same agent
2:40 through the same company
2:41 helped me buy a home when the time came.
2:43 So you can actually do that, okay?
2:45 So you find homes for people,
2:47 you usually charge them about a flat fee
2:49 of one month's rent.
2:51 You make some good money like that,
2:52 but you invest in that relationship.
2:55 You give them little
2:56 gifts and all this other stuff
2:57 and you keep their
2:58 memory thinking about you.
3:00 And when the time comes,
3:01 they'll think about
3:01 you for buying a home.
3:03 The second thing I would do
3:04 while I'm basically trying to rent homes
3:06 and all that other stuff,
3:07 I would try to build a brand, okay?
3:10 People don't go online and
3:11 just look up, for example,
3:12 real estate agent,
3:13 and they don't just
3:14 call the first number.
3:15 They usually look to
3:17 people that they see online.
3:18 They're actively doing something.
3:20 So I personally would basically,
3:22 every person that I rent something with,
3:25 I would take a picture of them with me
3:27 and have them give me a testimonial.
3:28 I would record the homes.
3:30 I would become an
3:31 expert as far as real estate.
3:32 I would show a lot of homes.
3:33 And then those people
3:34 would reach out to me
3:35 and I would become an expert
3:37 and someone that's
3:38 very well known, you know?
3:39 Like Grand Court Donut in a sense.
3:40 But this whole idea,
3:42 I really got it from Graham Stephan
3:44 because I think if I'm not mistaken,
3:46 that was his approach in the beginning.
3:48 And eventually this guy was selling homes
3:50 that were worth over a million dollars,
3:52 but he first started out by renting homes
3:55 and that's a great start.
3:57 And the competition is less there also.
4:00 And you can make a lot of money doing it.
4:01 Number two, a commercial truck driver.
4:04 Now I know what you're thinking, okay?
4:06 Maybe you don't wanna drive
4:07 for hours and hours and hours,
4:09 and neither do I, okay?
4:11 But if I'm able to get
4:12 a job within two months
4:13 and start making $5,000 a month,
4:16 I mean, that is amazing.
4:18 I mean, I was in
4:18 school for like four years
4:20 to become an
4:20 accountant, to hopefully graduate
4:22 and make 60 to $70,000 as an
4:25 entry-level accountant, okay?
4:27 This is much better.
4:29 Now I was actually involved
4:31 in one of these businesses,
4:32 not really directly,
4:34 but because I gave someone money
4:36 to be able to buy their first truck
4:37 and to actually get into the business.
4:39 So I have some insight on how this works.
4:41 And I also have family that's involved.
4:44 Now, the only way I
4:45 would actually do this
4:46 would be like on a temporary basis.
4:49 And here's why, okay?
4:50 Yes, you can make a lot of money
4:52 within two months or
4:52 like six months, okay?
4:54 Making $5,000 a month
4:56 and the only thing
4:57 you have to do is drive.
4:58 Well, it sounds too good
4:59 to be true because it is.
5:00 You have to drive a lot.
5:02 And you're also away
5:03 from your family a lot.
5:04 So I would basically do this
5:06 for like four to five years,
5:08 make 300 to $400,000
5:10 and then just pay off a home and then
5:12 call it a day, okay?
5:13 But the second way I would
5:15 actually go about this is,
5:17 well, I would actually
5:18 use my money to buy trucks
5:21 and to get drivers to drive them.
5:23 And the way I understand it
5:25 is the way the business works
5:26 is these people, they split
5:28 the profits, the routes in half.
5:30 So if you're making like $5,000 a month,
5:33 well, I get 2,500 and you get 2,500.
5:36 But guess what?
5:37 I'm not doing any of the driving.
5:39 Yes, I have the vehicle,
5:40 I have the maintenance,
5:41 I have everything to take care of,
5:42 but this way I don't have to
5:45 spend all my time on the road.
5:47 So it's a job that I
5:48 would do temporarily,
5:50 but I would strongly consider it.
5:51 Imagine, okay, I'm in college,
5:53 instead of being in
5:54 college for like four years,
5:55 well, what's four times six?
5:56 That's about 24.
5:58 That's $240,000.
6:01 Instead of me graduating
6:02 with about $20,000 in debt
6:04 and no money.
6:05 That's a big difference, right?
6:06 Is my math right?
6:07 I think it is, right?
6:08 Number three is a dental hygienist, okay?
6:12 My wife, when I first met her,
6:13 she was actually a dentist herself here
6:15 in Dominican Republic.
6:17 Now she's my wife and
6:18 she's the mother of my child
6:19 and she's at home and
6:20 we're very lucky to have her.
6:22 But in Dominican
6:23 Republic, like they don't get paid
6:25 that much, but in the US specifically,
6:27 dental hygienists, man, in two years,
6:29 they're making like around $80,000,
6:31 which is a lot of money, honestly, okay?
6:34 Now they're not really
6:34 like full-blown dentists.
6:36 They basically do like the
6:37 cleaning and the educating
6:39 and the X-rays and so on.
6:41 But I think that it's such
6:43 a good job for the most part
6:46 because it does have flexibility.
6:47 So here would be my approach.
6:49 First of all, I wouldn't
6:51 just work for one office.
6:53 I would work for multiple offices.
6:55 And yes, you could do that.
6:56 You could work for
6:57 multiple dental offices
6:59 and you can make money from each of them.
7:01 So if you're doing a high-end
7:02 clients or high-end offices,
7:04 well, you can make much more than $80,000
7:07 and work part-time here,
7:08 part-time here, part-time there.
7:09 I make a good amount of money.
7:11 Number two is I
7:12 wouldn't really take this job
7:14 as a starter job
7:15 because some people do that.
7:18 They say, well, I'm gonna
7:19 become a dental hygienist first
7:21 and then I'm gonna work up
7:22 to build in my own office
7:24 and then I'm gonna work up
7:25 to becoming a whole dentist
7:26 and so on, but I
7:28 really rather just do this.
7:30 And the main reason is
7:31 because it takes two years.
7:32 And if I were to go to
7:33 school for six more years
7:34 to become a full-blown
7:35 dentist, well, that's $480,000
7:38 that I could actually
7:39 make being a dental hygienist
7:41 for six years, then
7:42 instead of being, for example,
7:44 we're trying to become a dentist
7:45 and graduate with a bunch of debt.
7:47 You know, honestly, there
7:49 isn't really that much money
7:51 that you need to make to
7:52 have a pretty good life.
7:53 So my approach would be that personally,
7:55 I wouldn't be trying to
7:56 become a full-blown dentist,
7:58 spend six more years in school,
8:00 spend $200,000 to do it,
8:02 to then finally graduate
8:03 and make 200 grand or 300 grand a year,
8:06 but then the office hours are a lot
8:08 and the flexibility might
8:09 not be as great as you think.
8:10 So I think it's a really good job.
8:12 In two years, making
8:13 $80,000, it's amazing.
8:15 Now, job number four
8:16 is becoming a plumber.
8:18 And I think every man should be a plumber
8:21 for their own homes, okay?
8:22 Everyone should know
8:23 exactly how to unclog a toilet,
8:26 how to install a toilet,
8:27 how to drain a drainage pipe,
8:30 how to install a faucet.
8:32 All these things are things that we
8:34 should know how to do,
8:35 and especially how to
8:36 install a hot water system.
8:38 It sounds complicated,
8:39 but trust me, it is not.
8:40 Every time I saw a plumber
8:42 do it, I would say to myself,
8:44 this is difficult,
8:45 but it's not impossible
8:47 for me to learn how to
8:48 do these things, okay?
8:49 And guess what?
8:50 The way I would approach this is very
8:53 simple and very basic.
8:54 And obviously, plumbers
8:55 make a good amount of money
8:57 because although I think that everyone
8:58 should be a plumber,
9:00 a lot of people do think
9:01 it's a job beneath them
9:02 and they refuse to actually do it
9:04 or have any interest in it, okay?
9:05 But because of that,
9:07 it's a really good job.
9:08 And it is a job that is recession-proof
9:10 because even when people
9:11 don't have money or jobs,
9:12 if something breaks,
9:13 they're gonna find the money
9:14 to actually fix it up, okay?
9:17 Now, the main idea was,
9:18 well, I would
9:19 actually work for a company,
9:20 being a plumber, right?
9:21 That way I could do
9:22 what they need me to do
9:23 and I can make a good amount of money.
9:25 That can make me
9:26 $50,000 to $60,000 a year.
9:28 But most importantly, I
9:29 would also work with Airbnbs
9:32 and real estate agents and other people,
9:35 like normal people, right?
9:36 And I would actually work with them
9:37 because when I was staying at an Airbnb,
9:40 I had the same plumber come twice.
9:42 And my understanding is
9:43 that this same plumber
9:44 is the one that manages
9:45 just about all the homes
9:47 that this Airbnb owner actually has.
9:50 And I could be that too, right?
9:51 And this guy just comes in,
9:53 installs a hot water machine or whatever,
9:55 and he's like $400.
9:56 And I'm like, really?
9:58 Okay, they make a lot of money, man.
10:00 So it's a pretty good job
10:02 with a lot of flexibility
10:03 where you're able to do your own gigs,
10:05 able to work for a
10:06 person for fixed money,
10:07 and you're also able to
10:09 have a good skill at home
10:10 so you can fix all
10:11 the stuff in your house.
10:13 Super important.
10:14 Number five, become an electrician.
10:17 Now, funny story here, my dad,
10:19 before he became a politician,
10:21 he was going to be an electrician.
10:23 Now, the story does
10:24 not have a happy ending
10:25 because he ended up dropping out
10:27 because he said, "I am
10:28 terrified of getting shocked."
10:31 Apparently, he got shocked a few times
10:32 and he was like,
10:33 "Yeah, I am done with this."
10:34 He went into a
10:35 politician later on and he won
10:37 and he did his campaign
10:38 stuff, which is great stuff,
10:40 but he quit, okay?
10:41 But electricians, man, they
10:43 make a good amount of money.
10:45 And you're able to
10:46 become one in two years.
10:47 Now, not a master electrician.
10:50 That takes, for example, some
10:51 mentorship or apprenticeship,
10:54 and you get into that later on,
10:55 but once you get your electrician stuff,
10:57 you're able to start
10:58 working and making money,
10:59 then you become an apprentice
11:00 and you're able to actually become
11:01 a master electrician later on.
11:04 But there are several
11:05 different approaches, right?
11:07 One approach is you work for a company.
11:09 Let's say, for example,
11:10 Con Edison or whatever,
11:11 or a local electrician
11:13 company in your local area.
11:15 Or you can actually work for
11:16 other people and help them out.
11:18 Here's a personal story, okay?
11:20 When about my first home in Puerto Rico,
11:23 there was a massive
11:24 issue with the electricity.
11:25 From the pole, which was
11:27 outside and it was underground,
11:29 well, there was no
11:30 connection to my house.
11:32 So in order to get my
11:33 house connected to the outside,
11:36 we had to dig a six foot hole
11:39 and install all the
11:40 electrical wiring beneath the ground.
11:42 Now, this was gonna cost me about $12,000
11:45 and about three months while I waited
11:47 for everything to come through
11:48 and the license and all this stuff.
11:50 But there was this guy and he was like,
11:51 hey, I do this all the time.
11:54 He charged me $6,000.
11:56 It took him a weekend and he did
11:58 everything up to code
11:59 and everything was perfect, okay?
12:01 So imagine that, okay?
12:03 A weekend, $6,000, just like that.
12:05 There are jobs like that.
12:06 And for example, okay,
12:08 I'm embarrassed to say this,
12:09 but I don't even know how to
12:10 fix a light bulb in my house,
12:11 okay?
12:12 Like I know how to take a
12:14 light bulb up, obviously,
12:16 but I don't know how to
12:16 uninstall the whole thing,
12:18 how to turn off all the breakers
12:19 and then how to plug
12:20 everything back and all.
12:21 I don't know how to do that, okay?
12:22 But someone doing that,
12:24 installing a ceiling fan,
12:26 all that stuff, that
12:27 could be like $50, $30,
12:29 or even more money.
12:31 Simple things that take
12:32 you like 15, 20 minutes.
12:33 You can get on
12:34 TaskRabbit and you could actually
12:35 do those things and
12:36 make some extra money.
12:38 And that's pretty good stuff, okay?
12:39 I like it a lot.
12:40 I'm probably gonna do
12:41 a course on electricity
12:43 and also a course on plumbing,
12:45 not for like trying
12:47 to make money purposes,
12:48 but just to try to know
12:49 all these skills in my home
12:51 in case there is an emergency
12:52 and I need to get things done.
12:53 They take about like two
12:54 months or six months, by the way.
12:56 They don't take that long.
12:56 Number six is my favorite.
12:58 I told you, it's a financial advisor.
13:01 And I love the idea of counseling people
13:03 and helping people with their finances
13:05 and helping them make money.
13:07 But there's this ethical thing with me
13:09 that for some reason,
13:10 I just cannot overcome.
13:12 And when you actually try to
13:14 become a financial advisor,
13:15 there are several different licenses.
13:17 You could actually get to
13:18 do several different things.
13:19 You can get a license to
13:20 sell stocks and buy bonds.
13:22 You can get a license
13:22 to actually give advice
13:24 and to manage portfolios.
13:25 You can get a license
13:26 to actually charge people
13:27 for asset management.
13:29 There are a lot of things
13:30 and that's why the link is down below.
13:31 But the main thing is
13:33 there is a portion of this
13:34 where you can make a lot
13:36 of money from your client,
13:38 even though it's not in
13:39 your client's best interests.
13:41 I don't like that.
13:42 So my main goal would be,
13:44 if I were to ever
13:45 become a financial advisor,
13:46 it would be to be a fiduciary.
13:48 A fiduciary, everything
13:49 that he does or she does
13:52 has to be in the best
13:53 interest of his or her client.
13:57 That way, I don't wanna
13:58 sell you whole life insurance.
14:00 I don't wanna sell you assets
14:02 that I know don't make any sense to you,
14:04 but since I'm getting a commission
14:06 and I can make some long-term income,
14:08 I don't want to do that.
14:09 I don't want to.
14:11 So I would probably
14:13 go into fiduciary work,
14:14 but if you're able to
14:15 put that aside and say,
14:17 well, it's just business.
14:19 I'm offering products that
14:20 are for this person and so on.
14:22 Well, this job can
14:22 make you a lot of money,
14:24 like upwards to like
14:24 200, 300, 400, $500,000.
14:29 I am not joking, look it up.
14:30 You can make a lot of money
14:32 and you can do this within
14:33 two years or maybe three years.
14:35 It depends on how hard you study
14:37 and if you're able to pass
14:38 the exams for the most part.
14:40 But it is incredible.
14:42 I think if I ever had to get a job,
14:46 I would probably get into
14:47 like financial devising.
14:49 It would just click for me.
14:52 I think so.
14:52 Now the last one, number seven,
14:54 which is the most surprising one
14:56 is to become a flight attendant.
14:57 I had no idea to
14:58 become a flight attendant.
14:59 You could actually do
15:00 it within two months
15:01 to maybe six months or so.
15:02 And usually even the
15:03 train is done by the airline
15:05 and they pay for the whole thing for you.
15:07 Now, obviously, a flight attendant
15:09 isn't going to make you rich overnight,
15:10 but you're able to get
15:11 30,000 to 50, to 60K.
15:14 And once you get into like your tenure
15:16 and you're like a senior there,
15:17 well possibly you could even make like
15:19 upwards to $100,000.
15:21 That's a lot of money.
15:22 Now, this is like one of those jobs,
15:25 like the whole like trucking job,
15:27 which I wouldn't do right now in this
15:30 picture I'm in right now
15:31 with my wife, with my daughter.
15:33 I just don't wanna be
15:35 flying back and forth
15:36 and being over here
15:37 because I will miss a lot of
15:38 moments of my family's life.
15:40 But if I'm back to being 17 years old,
15:42 I just graduated high school
15:44 and I can get a job
15:45 being a flight attendant
15:47 and make $60,000, like 50K,
15:49 or even $40,000 for like four years.
15:52 Well, in four years, I
15:53 got to make 160 grand.
15:56 That's a lot of money.
15:57 And even while I'm
15:58 being a flight attendant,
15:59 I could be doing, for
16:00 example, like some online courses.
16:02 So once I'm done with that,
16:03 I could basically just get into a normal
16:06 job for the most part.
16:07 That's a little bit more stable
16:08 as far as like not having to
16:09 be over there and over here
16:11 and all this flying around stuff, okay.
16:13 And there's a lot of
16:14 cool perks obviously,
16:15 but it's one of those
16:16 jobs that you can get into.
16:18 The cost is high because
16:19 it is a lot of flying around
16:20 and there's like little stability
16:22 and the roots you
16:23 could actually build up.
16:24 But if you're young and
16:26 you're just getting started
16:27 and you don't have responsibilities
16:28 and you're able to do
16:29 this, well, it's not that bad.
16:31 I would prefer, I would
16:32 have preferred to do this,
16:34 then go to college
16:35 and get that much money
16:37 while I'm getting a
16:38 degree also and then graduate
16:40 and then just go into a normal job.
16:42 I think that those options
16:44 aren't usually given to us.
16:46 We usually are told
16:47 you have to go to college
16:48 and stick to that because
16:50 I think everyone's worried
16:51 about you not finishing,
16:52 but if you're committed,
16:54 you're going to be
16:54 committed, okay, for the most part.
16:56 Guys, those are seven jobs
16:58 for people that are
16:59 willing to start over.
17:01 And they take less than two years.
17:02 Some of these jobs make you over 100K.
17:05 Let me know in the comments down below
17:06 which one of these
17:07 were you most surprised by
17:09 and which one of these
17:10 would you actually consider?
17:12 Let me know.
17:13 For me, honestly, I told you ready, okay?
17:15 It has to be number six
17:16 to be a financial advisor.
17:18 But if I'm in a clinch,
17:19 I could become a trucker
17:20 like in a second, okay?
17:23 And it's not to denote
17:24 truckers or whatever,
17:25 but it's a pretty accessible job
17:28 where you make a lot of
17:28 money, but it is grueling work.
17:31 And I get sleepy.
17:32 Maybe I won't do that, okay?
17:33 Thanks for watching.
17:34 I'll see you guys next time.
