00:00what's happening guys today we're doing
00:01a highly requested video it's going to
00:04skills tier list these are going to be
00:06the skills that are going to be the most
00:08valuable when it comes to employment
00:10right so we're going to be talking about
00:12employable skills now some of these
00:14skills are going to be skills that teach
00:15you how to directly make a lot more
00:18some of them are going to be a little
00:19bit more indirect and i'm going to kind
00:21of go over which ones are which
00:22and i'm loosely basing this off of two
00:24things one of them is the zip recruiter
00:26skills index that i've referenced many
00:28times on this channel great resource
00:30that's an index that basically talks
00:32about different skills and how much you
00:34can expect to make from them
00:35then also my own personal experience
00:37with thousands of hours of doing
00:39research and consulting with people
00:40we're going to be ranking these from s
00:42tier which is the best to f tier which
00:45and most of these i got from suggestions
00:47in the comments section so if there's
00:49some that i missed on this video let me
00:51i'll make a follow-up video that has a
00:53ton more skills alright so let's jump
00:55right into this one first one on the
00:57list is going to be technology related
01:00all right so on the zip recruiter skills
01:01index if you look at like the top
01:0330 different types of skills you're just
01:06littered with technology all different
01:08types of programming languages and
01:12information technology skills being able
01:15issues and not only are you going to be
01:17able to directly make money from this
01:19aka it's an employable skill
01:21you know aka you can get a job from it
01:24indirectly a lot of people who end up
01:26becoming millionaires and even
01:27billionaires early on in life
01:29do it because they have technology
01:31related skills so technology
01:33via programming is one of the few ways
01:36in the world where you can leverage a
01:38maybe one person or a small group of
01:40people the work that they do
01:41to get to millions of people you can
01:43create a program or a website that
01:45millions of people can interact with so
01:46an insane amount of leverage
01:49you can make a lot of money both
01:50directly and indirectly from this
01:53i suggest that everybody learn at least
01:55like some of the basics of computer
01:57programming languages because it's
01:58really going to help you out in life
02:00clearly goes into s tier next on the
02:03health related skills now on the zip
02:06index this is probably the second most
02:09common one that you see at the top i'd
02:11say that it's up there with business
02:13but i would say when it comes to
02:15employability and having like a stable
02:18job that's pretty much never going to go
02:19away health related skills is probably
02:22the best when it comes to directly
02:24making money now indirectly i would say
02:26technology and business related skills
02:28do have an edge over health but if
02:30you're someone who really just wants a
02:32stable job where you're pretty much
02:33always going to have employment options
02:36health is a fantastic way to go
02:38so this one is also going to go into
02:40ester okay i realize
02:41looking at this list i feel like a lot
02:43of them are gonna go into s-tier so i
02:45might have to kind of reorganize it at
02:47the end uh because yeah a lot of these
02:49are actually really good
02:50you guys came up with really good
02:51suggestions next on the list is going to
02:54sales related skills now this is
02:55something where i honestly think
02:57the best thing you could ever do for
02:59yourself if you're in high school or
03:00college right now watching this video
03:02get a part-time sales job it is going to
03:06just immensely even if it's just over
03:08the phone okay even if it's just an
03:09over-the-phone sales job
03:10right maybe you're introverted you're
03:12too afraid to talk to people in real
03:13life okay get a phone sales job this was
03:15probably one of the best decisions i
03:17ever made in my entire life
03:19it's gonna change the way that you
03:21interact with people
03:22and it's not like some kind of scammy
03:24you know used car salesman type of
03:25skills that you're learning
03:27it's literally just having the emotional
03:29intelligence to know
03:30okay this is what this person wants it's
03:33you know said than done and this is how
03:35we can come to an agreement where both
03:37parties are going to be happy right
03:39sales skills super super important
03:42um i'm going to put sales into s tier as
03:45well sales is not only
03:47directly can you make money from it but
03:49also indirectly it's the most
03:51common skill that millionaires and
03:54so if you look at past jobs that
03:56millionaires and billionaires have
03:57they've actually done studies on this
03:59the most common thing the one that they
04:01notice over and over again
04:02is that they had sales jobs early on in
04:05next on the list is similar to sales
04:08marketing now marketing is kind of like
04:11sales you're going to be learning a lot
04:14however you can use those and leverage
04:18people in my opinion marketing is a
04:19little bit more about understanding kind
04:22broad trends whereas sales is more about
04:25kind of figuring out
04:26you know specific situations like okay
04:29this in this specific situation whereas
04:31marketing is just like okay
04:33we have to show this to like a million
04:35people so what are some broad
04:36trends that we can understand but both
04:38of these are incredibly important and
04:40it's something where
04:41in my opinion if you have experience in
04:43this it's going to help you in pretty
04:44much every area of your life as well um
04:46i would say this one
04:48i'm going to put it slightly under sales
04:51i want to put it nest here but i'm
04:52putting everything in steer at this
04:55i'm gonna put it in a tier next on the
04:56list is going to be leadership
04:58and management now these are technically
05:00separate but i decided to kind of just
05:03there are not that many good leaders out
05:05there in the world and you know
05:06companies this is something that they
05:08try to vet people with right even if
05:10you're just going into like an
05:11entry-level position
05:12uh hr hiring managers uh people that are
05:15you know potentially going to hire you
05:17are trying to look to see if you're open
05:19to becoming a leader in the future
05:21that's one of the main things that
05:22they're looking for a lot of the time
05:25way more than the average employee yes
05:28you will get rich quick we all will and
05:31you know getting some experience as a
05:33manager within a company is gonna help
05:35you to start your own business later on
05:38a shipping merchant who raises fancy
05:41that's the life so this is another one
05:44super super good i want to put this one
05:48i'm going to go ahead and put it into a
05:50tier you know management leadership
05:51isn't for everyone some people just want
05:54do their job and get their paycheck and
05:55that's totally cool they just want to do
05:57their own thing they don't want to have
05:58to like you know worry about all the
06:00other stuff and i totally understand
06:02as a manager you're probably going to
06:04have to work a lot more and you're never
06:05really off because anybody can just text
06:07you or call you at any time
06:09and a lot of the time you're basically
06:11on the clock next on the list is going
06:13trade skills now this is something where
06:16uh you know maybe if you ask me this 20
06:20wouldn't be as good but just because of
06:22supply and demand there's not that many
06:24people who have trade skills
06:26and there's a lot of demand out there
06:28for people who have these types of
06:30so you can make a lot of money going
06:32into the trades now generally speaking i
06:34recommend starting your own business if
06:36you go into the trades
06:37there's a lot more advantages to that
06:39but there's just a ton of opportunity
06:41out there just because of supply and
06:43demand there's not that many people with
06:44these skills anymore but there's also a
06:46lot of downside to going into
06:48the trades it's not for everybody it can
06:50be very tough on your body
06:51a lot of the time you're not going to be
06:52able to work past like 50 or 60
06:55just because it can cause a lot of wear
06:57and tear so this one
06:58uh again i gosh i think it's really good
07:01but i'm gonna go ahead
07:02and put it in b tier next on the list is
07:04mathematics related skills now
07:06this is something where again supply and
07:09not very many people are good at math uh
07:11even less people i would say
07:12like math and so if you're somebody
07:14who's good at it and you like it
07:16it's just supply and demand there's a
07:18lot of jobs out there that require you
07:20to be really good at mathematics
07:22not that many people to fill the jobs
07:24one thing i will say about
07:25getting a degree in mathematics
07:27specifically is sometimes it can be a
07:30abstract it doesn't necessarily teach
07:31you skills uh that you need to use in
07:34the real world like employable skills
07:36so you're gonna have to figure out kind
07:38of how to supplement that with more
07:40employable skills so for instance
07:42maybe learning some programming but yeah
07:44mathematics can be great
07:45just because sometimes it seems a little
07:48bit too abstract i'm going to go ahead
07:49and put this one into
07:51b tier but i almost want to put into a
07:53tier next on the list
07:54is going to be the skill of learning now
07:57this is kind of a weird one but
07:59it's really good for you to learn how to
08:02get good at learning
08:03right the faster you can learn how to
08:05quickly get good at learning new skills
08:08the better and there really is a method
08:11whenever you're trying to learn a new
08:12skill there's a series of steps that you
08:15to learn that skill extremely fast and
08:17i'm not going to go into it in this
08:20if you can learn how to get good at
08:22learning things really quickly
08:23that's going to help you in every single
08:25area of your life no matter what
08:27you know career or what you know maybe
08:29you decide to start a business or
08:31anything like that it doesn't matter
08:32what path you go down so this one is
08:35s tier next on the list is going to be
08:37interpersonal skills so
08:39this is going to be just like kind of
08:41like sales i guess very similar to that
08:43learning how to get good at interacting
08:47and this is all about you know being a
08:48good teammate being a good leader if
08:50you're in a management position
08:52being good at following if you're
08:54somebody who's in a room and you're
08:55you know not the most knowledgeable one
08:57in the room then of course you know you
08:59don't need to always try to be the
09:00leader sometimes you need to be good at
09:02following so yeah extremely important
09:04um i'm gonna go ahead and put this one
09:06into a tier communication very
09:08similar i would say this also includes
09:10like being able to give speeches and
09:12just effectively communicate with other
09:14for instance what i'm doing right now
09:16making videos there's so many different
09:18ways for you to communicate with people
09:20uh super super important for you to
09:22get good at this it's just something
09:23that it's it's totally worth it for you
09:26and it's one of those evergreen skills
09:28that no matter what career path you go
09:31or even what you're doing in life maybe
09:32maybe you decide to be like a
09:34stay-at-home mom or stay-at-home dad
09:35communication is still going to be
09:37right so this one is definitely ester
09:40next one on the list is going to be
09:41problem solving so this is especially
09:44important if you decide to either become
09:46like a manager or a leader or an
09:48entrepreneur but even if you don't
09:50decide to go down that route
09:52being a good problem solver is going to
09:55valuable as an employee as well you know
09:57if you're somebody who can just solve
09:59problems for your boss without it having
10:02to go to them and then them having to
10:04that is going to make you like their
10:08so problem solving fantastic uh skill to
10:12um you know if you're an entrepreneur
10:14i'd say this is definitely s tier but if
10:15you're an employee maybe
10:17a tier i'd say being professional you
10:20know this one's underrated
10:21things like just being early for
10:23instance like not being late to meetings
10:26uh to work being professional is super
10:28easy it doesn't take that long to learn
10:31how to be professional
10:32it's really basic and it's just you know
10:35something where you're just being
10:36courteous to the people around you so uh
10:38that's pretty important one
10:40um i'll put an a tier i guess it's kind
10:43i don't think it deserves to be s dear
10:46all right learning about the history of
10:4817th century french political artwork
10:50you know colleges would want you to
10:51believe that this is
10:52s tier and you should you know spend all
10:54of your money on it and then go to grad
10:57a doctorate but the truth is it's it's
11:00it's f-tier when it comes to employable
11:02skills this is definitely f2 now
11:04if this is your passion if 17th century
11:06french political artwork is your passion
11:09then that's awesome okay i'm not saying
11:11there's anything wrong with that
11:13what i'm saying is when it comes to
11:16it's not going to help you out that much
11:18if you want to do 17th century
11:20french political artwork as a profession
11:23you're going to need to get pretty
11:24creative and like start
11:25you know some kind of online business or
11:27something along those lines so i realize
11:30c tier or d tier um yeah
11:33i did not plan this one out very well
11:35guys so honestly all of these are
11:38so important it's ridiculous so i guess
11:40i'm gonna kind of move these around
11:42a little bit health i guess i'm going to
11:45a tier just because of the fact that um
11:48it's really solid but there's not a very
11:50ceiling to it so like business and
11:52technology for instance like the ceiling
11:54is making millions easily right whereas
11:58is usually a little bit lower than that
12:01unless you become like a very
12:03specialized doctor or something then you
12:04can probably make millions but honestly
12:06it kind of comes down to like
12:08what you're trying to do and what your
12:11um i really love this one i think it's
12:13fantastic but you don't
12:14need this one to be successful um i just
12:18option for you and even if you're not
12:20trying to go into a sales
12:22type career it just really helps you out
12:23so i guess i'll move that one down to a
12:25tier as well and then communication is
12:28um but you don't necessarily need to be
12:29good at like giving speeches or making
12:31videos or anything like that but
12:33it is a great way for you to kind of
12:34like leverage yourself again
12:36there's there's only certain skills you
12:40leverage like one person or a small
12:42group of people to get to millions of
12:44and the the only skills i can think of
12:47it really off the top of my head are
12:49and those are you know technology
12:52computer programming making a website
12:56sales slash marketing skills you can use
12:59uh yourself to get to millions of people
13:02communication skills so i'm like making
13:05you know making a podcast something
13:07along those lines is another way
13:09that you can leverage uh yourself to get
13:12to you know millions of people
13:14so i'm actually gonna put sales and
13:17marketing into s tier and these are
13:19really the only ones you can use to
13:22yourself into getting to millions of
13:26and then learning i'm gonna keep that
13:28there too just because
13:29it just helps everything else like
13:31learning is so important for everything
13:34oh wait i i got that wrong so so i guess
13:36i'll put marketing up there yeah
13:38okay that was the marketing one this is
13:39the leadership one and i guess i'll put
13:42trade skills down in the c tier not
13:43because it's bad it's just because the
13:45ceiling is not as high as a lot of these
13:48trade skills are still like super good
13:50um especially you know depending on what
13:53and just to be able to fill out all of
13:55them i'm gonna go ahead and bump this
13:57bump math down and then bump
14:01uh professionalism just because it's so
14:03easy i mean like it shouldn't take you
14:05long to just it's just basic like
14:07like show up early show up five minutes
14:08early to the meetings i show up 15
14:10minutes early usually
14:11so yeah there we go so that's kind of
14:14that's kind of what i did i bumped
14:15professionalism down to b
14:17math down to c trade skills down to d
14:2017th century french political artwork
14:23down to f let me know down
14:24in the comments below what skills i
