there's a career path that is high paying recession-proof doesn't require a college
degree and as crazy as it sounds is a career where people as young as the age of 18 have been able
to land full-time jobs often working remotely today i'm going to go over what this career is
why you should seriously consider it and how you can get started this is an especially important
video for those of you that are unsure about going to college or if you're simply sick of
doing odd jobs and want a real career especially during these unsure times so make sure you pay
close attention the largest trend in recent times has been the mass adoption of the internet
billions of people are using it every single day and many of us spend more time on the internet
compared to engaging with real life in a way the internet is almost like another country which
would make it the largest country in the world now what's interesting is that all the citizens
of this country can interact with each other for free anyone who decides to start a business in
this country will have access to more customers all while spending less money than they would
had they decided to do something in real life a beekeeper who uses the internet to sell his
honey is almost guaranteed to make more than the same beekeeper who refuses to use the internet
and instead focuses on selling his honey in a physical store almost every business owner in
the world now realizes this and is in the process of transitioning these owners need people that can
help them grow online which is why i believe the best career path these days is anything related
to building in the digital world now some of you might say pill it's too late you've been talking
about this for years i doubt there's still such a high demand for this type of work i'm sure all of
those businesses already figured this out ages ago and filled all those positions but the numbers say
otherwise if we take a look at the number of job offerings for just one type of builder a digital
marketer essentially someone who helps businesses market themselves online oftentimes helping them
run their ads on google and facebook you can see that there were only 50 000 job openings in 2020
and now there's over 200 000 openings in 2022 in the usa alone why is this happening well the
great lockdowns of 2020 sped up internet adoption by years business meetings that used to happen in
person became zoom calls overnight companies saved tens of thousands of dollars and everyone realized
that doing business online was simply easier and also more profitable and so the demand for
people who can build out the digital side of their businesses increased drastically the problem is
that it isn't easy to find these builders why well it's because many digital skills are hard to teach
in conventional school systems take for example growing a following on tick tock there are almost
zero universities that can teach you how to become an expert at tick tock because the algorithm is
constantly changing by the time the school designs a lesson plan for the next semester it will
already be outdated information this puts people who actively work on improving their digital
skills at a huge advantage this means they have leverage over their employers they can negotiate
for much higher wages when i first started talking about digital marketing five years ago the average
entry salary was around thirty thousand dollars nowadays the average starting rate is forty to
fifty thousand and many people quickly climb to sixty to seventy thousand after just one year of
experience and 80 to 90 thousand dollars after just two years now if you're wondering where
i'm pulling these numbers from it's actually from students in a digital marketing course that i've
been promoting for over five years if you want to learn more about it there's a link to a video
in the description box below this course is run by my good friend seth himes and it's a unique
course in that it actually teaches you how to get a real full-time job has a very high success rate
the majority of students who complete the course and start applying for jobs end up with job offers
in less than six months many of the students are 18 or 19 years old and are still able to find work
because the employers are looking for a specific skill set and not a college degree yes that means
there are 18 year olds who go through the course end up getting a real job work in the industry
for two years and end up making close to a hundred thousand dollars every year while their peers are
still two years away from graduating college now i want to touch on why i believe digital careers or
recession and future proof when recessions happen people actually end up spending more time online
because it costs less it's the cheapest form of entertainment take for example concerts it costs
significantly less to host the concert online and you're not limited by the location or the
size of the stadium which means that a very high number of people can attend for a very low price
a recent travis scott concert held in fortnite had over 12 million attendees these are mind-boggling
numbers and you can only imagine the ways this could be monetized as more and more people spend
the majority of their free time online more and more of the economy will move online this trend
will likely go on for the next decade or two which means there will be a constant demand for digital
builders during recessions and also in the future now which type of digital career should you go for
there's so many to choose from if you're really good with numbers and solving problems you can
teach yourself how to program or write smart contracts which can land you very very high
paying jobs on the other hand if you're really artistic you can draw and design things but i
wouldn't recommend this path unless you've already been making art for over five years and of course
there's digital marketing the reason i like to recommend it so much is because it's one of the
easier digital skills to learn you're essentially just managing the digital media advertisements for
businesses i've been recommending this course to many people i know in real life here's a friend
of mine who couldn't find a workout at college i convinced him to go through the program last
year and within six months he landed a job with a 64 000 salary if you are interested in learning
more click on the link down below if you are not interested it is totally fine just find
anything that relates to building in the digital world heck i've even seen minecraft builders
raking large sums of cash helping metaverse projects build and i want to leave you with one
last thought chances are if you're watching this video you've grown up with the internet you've
logged in tens of thousands of hours which means that you've developed the skill set that most of
the older generation does not have why spend years trying to learn something completely new when you
have a skill that you are already somewhat decent at take advantage of your strengths this will help
you become successful with significantly less effort besides that guys stay tuned
