The Cavalcade of America, presented by Dupont. Among America's well-known men are many who came from Europe to try their fortunes and make their homes in this land of opportunity. One of the most appealing and important of these was the German Swiss named John A. Sutter. Although he is known chiefly because gold was discovered on his California property, Sutter's life was actually spent as a pioneer, a homemaker and a farmer. For centuries, alchemists had tried unsuccessfully to make gold from base metals and fails. Dupont chemists have learned to make products infinitely more valuable from cotton, wool, coal, and other everyday substances. As Sutter worked quietly and earnestly on the work that he believed more important than the discovery of gold, similarly, the research chemist is striving earnestly towards the ideal, which is summed up in the Dupont Fled. Better things for better living through chemistry. As an overture, Don Voriz and the Dupont Cavalcade Orchestra will play Alice Holiday from Rudolf Rimmel's operetta, Katinka. Dupont Cavalcade moves on. Dupont Sutter was born at Cannern in Baden, Germany, of Swiss parents in 1803. At the age of 31, he left his family in Burgdorf in the canton of Bern and set out for the new world to make his fortune. He landed at New York, pushed westward to St. Louis, and from there he was soon traveling as a trader over the famous Santa Fe Trail. Most of the American Southwest was then Mexican territory, and in the summer of 1835, we find Sutter crossing what was then the boundary line between the United States and Mexico. At this outpost, a crowd attracted by the dust cloud raised by his wagon wheels is at the gate. Oh, it's a bit of chaos. Could you tell me where I can find the head of the government and Santa Fe? I am the Alcalde here, Senor. Oh? But I am Don Sutter, with a caravan of merchandise from St. Louis. Yeah, I'm glad to stretch my legs after riding so long.  I am a Swiss, but I hope to become an American. Ah, Senor, you should be a Mexican. That is a great country. They land of opportunism. What more could I ask in the fine land of the American West? Ah, then you have never seen California. California? Well, I've heard of it. Is it only claimed? Senor, there is no place to equally. I cannot wait to return. Beauty, fertility, with everything.  Speaking of climate, do you mind if we get a little in out of the sun? Oh, don't, Senor. We shall find cooler shade there. Go. Enter, Senor. Thank you. Sit down, Senor. If you'll excuse me, I should like to present my passports, pay my duties, and tend to my business here. Afterward, I will be glad to hear more of California. You can hear all about California in one word, Senor. I would rather be a town in California than a freeman anywhere else in the world. That should be easy for an Alcalde to arrange. Senor, let us know. The Mexican government has other ideas than yours. They think I have value here. Well, I hope my cargo has some tend to your value, Alcalde. Well, we need almost everything here. So no matter what you bring, it will quickly be converted into gold and silver. Oh, and I shall be as lucky as King Midas without his curse. Pardon me. King Midas? Who is he? He is in a story I used to tell my children. A miser who wished that everything he touched would turn into gold. Oh, Senor, where is the curse in that? Where? A man cannot eat and drink gold, Senor. And when King Midas touched food? Ah, Sisi, I understand. He turned to gold and he started. That is a good story. But fortunately in California, the greatest riches come from its gold and sunlight. Oh, then someday I will go to California. To me, there is no gold so fine as a field of wheat ripening in the summer sun. Three years later, John A. Sutter started for California by way of the Oregon Trail. Arriving in Vancouver in October, he found that he couldn't get south by land until spring. So he boarded the ship bound for Honolulu. From there, he went to Sitka, Alaska, which was then Russian territory with a load of merchandise. With the supplies he received in exchange, he sailed south and at last entered the picturesque city of Monterey, the capital of Mexican California. In the party of the bright Adobe headquarters, Sutter is received by the governor, Alvarado. Daniel Sutter, your papers are in good order. And the letters you bring me from my friends in Honolulu speak most highly of you. What do you want of me? I understand you are grunting land. I want a place where I can make myself a home. I'll take land you cannot govern easily because it's far away. Will you be responsible for keeping order there? Yes, and it will be like an outpost for you to protect your lands along the sea coast. Let me see. There is the Sacramento Valley. Some say it is beautiful and fertile and very far away. I think it might do you very well. I am ready to start any time. You are very confident, senior.  If you still want it a year from today, come back.  The font cavalcade moves forward. The land John Sutter selected was in the beautiful valley where the American River flows into the Sacramento. With earnest and justice, he gained the confidence of the Indians who lived there. They helped him and his white followers to build homes, plant fields, and ten herds of cattle and sheep. In a year, Governor Alvarado made him owner and ruler of the great farm empire he was founding. As the years slipped by, men came inland from the coast, not wandering trappers, but home builders. In August of 1847, Sutter is in his headquarters as John Bedwell, his right-hand man, comes into the room. Oh, Captain Sutter? Yes, Mr. Bedwell. Sorry, sir, I didn't mean to interrupt your writing. Oh, I have to finish. I have been urging to my wife and family back in Switzerland. She's been so long since I've seen them. Oh, they'll soon be able to join you. We've had a fine crop of wheat everywhere. The herds have increased by thousands. You are the owner of one of the most fertile valleys on earth. Yeah, I have everything in goods, but there's yet to be no money. Even my supply for Monterey must be paid for in beaver skin, salmon and tello. You'll have plenty of cash one of these days. Every acre of your land is fertile, even the mountains. Yeah. And your trees are rather full-grown and plentiful. That's what I came to see you about. You cannot sell trees. Everybody has trees. Oh, I mean we need them for ourselves. We have such a good harvest. We've got to make new threshing floors at all the farms. It'll take too long to hew the timber and smooth it by hand. We've got to have a sawmill. Yeah? Well, there's a good fall of water at American Fort. Well, that's 40 miles from here. I'll build you a road to it. But then who will build a mill? There's a good man who's been working on a flower mill with me. Name of James Wilkins Marshall. Yeah? Send for him. He's right outside. I might have known you'd lose no time bid well. Come in, Marshall. Thanks. How do you, Captain? Fine, fine, fine.  Thanks. So, you want to build a sawmill on the American Fort, eh? Sure I will. How much? Well, I don't want to be paid in any of the tin money you use around here. Why? That's the best money there is. But just pieces of tin with stars stamped on them? Yeah, but every star means a full day's work. When a full day's work is equal to a fixed amount of wheat, land or cattle. We've got a full schedule. Why not give out the goods instead of the tin coins? Because a man out here can only eat so much food. And look out for a few cattle of his own. So, when he wants to save credit for the future, he takes the coin. Yes, but that kind of money is no good for credit outside of here. It would be if the world had in its sense. As long as it ain't, I'll pass up your tin money. Fair. What's your proposition? For building and managing a sawmill? One half of all the timber cut in it. Yeah, some fair to me. Eh, bid well? I think it is. All right, then. Go up the agreement, bid well. Yes, sir. Here's my diary. I should think, Marshal, that it should be as well offered our tin coins as a pile of lumber out here in the woods so I can turn that lumber into gold in San Francisco. Well, money is scarce even there. Yes, it's strange no gold has been found in California. Well, maybe it's here, but just buried too deep for our plowing and digging to turn up. Eh, I'd give half my land for enough of it to bring my family over here. You know, sometimes I get so lonely for my wife and children. I wish every blade of wheat and every head of cattle were made of solid gold. Might as well make a good wish while you're at it, Captain. Wish it were the stones in the sacrament. Eh, you can laugh. But it isn't funny to me. Well, here's the agreement about the sawmill. Few men don't mind waking up from your pipe dreams. You can sign your names here. Maybe the sawmill will change your luck, Captain. There may be real money in those woods. I only want enough to bring my family here to meet. The work at the sawmill progressed slowly. After the mill race was dug, there was trouble with the tail race. The stubborn rock made it hard to dig deep and wide enough to carry the water from the mill. Meanwhile, California became a part of the United States, and the wild, new territory now flew the American flag. On January 24th, 1848, Marshall comes into Sutter's Fort in great excitement. Captain Sutter! Eh? Oh, hello, Marshall.  Are we alone? Yeah. Open the door. Eh, you're very secret and mysterious, Marshall. What are you so excited about? This! It looks just like an old dock bottle to me.  Look what's in it. Well, it's heavy and fresh. It is! It's gold! Gold! How do you know? Have you tested it? Maybe it's wood gold. Feel the weight of it. Bite into it. I feed it with rocks. It's malleable. Soft and heavy. It's gold, I tell you. It's the sawmills. The gravel's full of it. It's everywhere. You're a rich man. You worth millions. Billions! Eh, I'm not so sure of that. It's your land, isn't it? I don't know. It was in California, it was Mexican country, but now it's occupied by the United States. I don't know for certain who it is. It's got to do something to make sure? Eh, well, I can send a copy of my lease to the American governor for official approval. Do it quick. There's no time to lose. Do it now. You can take it to the governor. No, no, I gotta get back to the sawmill. Eh, then I'll send Bennett. We, we gotta keep the secrets. Don't the men know what you found?  It's not worth losing their pay for. A day's pay. Well, I can pick up more than that for 15 minutes. Oh. You'll have everything you want in the world. Now, Captain, if you can just keep it secret and move fast. As Sutterwatch Charles Bennett sailed down the Sacramento River to get official confirmation of his lease of land from the Indians, he knew it would be no easy matter to keep the great bananas a secret. Bennett stops off at Benicia on his way down the river to Monterey and drops into Fester's general store to hear the news of the day. Hello, there, sir. Well, hello, Bennett. What's the news from the Sutter's fort? Well, the flour mill's nearly finished. We're waiting for the millstone. You'll have a long wait. In part, there's one of the stones broke down. There here are Sutter's building a sawmill. Yep. He's got plenty of fine timber to be cut for the Askins. Timber? Huh. Plenty of that around here. Too bad he didn't have real luck like they had over the Montedeble old. Eh, what's that? Coal. They found coal there. Scareds of it. I tell you man, California's going to be a great state someday. Coal, sure. That's nothing. Here's one Sutter's got. Oh, no, it ain't. Not by a darn type.  Digging crops out the ground. At least if there ain't no forest or drought or flood. Now coal, eh? We got something to heat the site finer and better than coal.  Well, what's that? What do you think it is? It looks like gold. Is it gold? Ain't sayin' it is. Ain't sayin' it ain't. Well, eh, there must be six ounces of it. That's a lot of money. Where'd you get it? Well, I ain't come from no place but Sutter's. Gosh, old Jupiter. Gold.  It's on the ground and you have to dig for it. What's around here, sir? Look at this. What's this? Just look at it. What is it? Gold. Gold. Gold. Leonard dashes on for Monterey and sees the military governor. While he is making the return trip, a waggoner comes into the saloon run by D.C. Smith at Sutter's Fort. Not me, Joe. You owe me for the last time. Ah, set him up, okay? I'll take your word for what I owe you.  Money is a theft. Well, here, take this. What's that? Gold. Gold. Where did you get it? I was up the storm. I was in supply. You just picked this up at lunchtime.   Yeah, I would be if I thought gold was lying around, waiting to be picked up for the asking.  Tell you everybody up there is picking up something when they got nothing better to do.  What else could be better than picking up gold without work? It's just some of that fool's gold. It won't be fool's gold until it belongs to you, Smith. No, no. You can't talk me into giving you any more credit, Joe.  But it's the real thing, I tell you. Well, here's Captain Sutter. Just come in. You can ask him. He knows about it. Yeah, but we're going to run for this, Smith. Captain, this fella here says there's gold at your sawmill. Oh, so you heard about it already, eh? Is that it? Tell him it is, Captain. I picked it up in the tail race. Same as everybody else. It's a genuine article, ain't it? Yeah, it's gold, I don't know. Hey, is there much of it there? I'm afraid there's a great deal of it. You're afraid? Why, Captain Sutter, let me congratulate you, sir. You'll be the richest man in California. Oh, oh, Bennett, Bennett. I hadn't heard your back yet. What luck, eh? Well, sir, yes, you see, Captain, sir. Oh, the governor refused, eh? Oh, no, sir. Not exactly refused, sir. You see, California ain't Mexican now, and it ain't exactly part of the United States yet either. Yeah? Ain't no law to apply here now. Governor Mason says he couldn't complain at least if he wanted it. Oh, and see, then until the United States takes over, there's no real authority in California. Well, of course, they'll confirm your land for sure, then, but meanwhile... Yeah, I understand. Meanwhile, they're all just causes. Come back to the store, man. Wait a minute, I'll go with you. You'll be needed in the fields tomorrow, Bennett. I'll be working on in the gold fields now, eh, Captain? Come on, Joe. Yes, sir. Smith, call me a brandy. What's the matter, Captain? You don't seem pleased. You ought to be jumping with joy. Why, you'll be the richest man in the world. Everybody says so. Eh, it'll be lucky if I have enough left-of-hook farms to make a good home for my family now. I don't understand, Captain. Surely all this gold really belongs to you. Why, hurry and call it Sutter's Gold. Yeah, but they'll take it for their own just the same, and nobody can stop them. Ah, there must be enough for all. Yeah, the more there is, the poorer I'll be. Don't you see? They will come here by hundreds or by thousands. All my workers will leave me. The reeds will rot in the fields. My sheep and my cattle will wander away into the wilderness. They will be shot for food for anyone who is hungry, miles and miles of land, ordered us for gold. Like the story I used to tell my children, King Midas, with his golden touch. Yeah, yeah, I see, I see, Captain. Well, help yourself to anything you want, Captain. I'm going after the boys to see if I can find some gold myself. In 1849, the gold rush started in earnest. 42,000 prospectors, strong Sutter's lands, maintaining squatter sovereignty. His lands were no longer wilderness. They were overrun by a horde of people, many of them lawless and wild. In 1852, Sutter was joined by his wife Anna and their children. He brought them to Hoke Farm, which was all that was left of his land grant. One evening a year later, John Sutter and Anna were standing on a porch in front of their modest farmhouse. You are very silent, Your Hon. Is it because the view is so quiet and beautiful? No, Anna. I was just thinking how many long years I've worked to bring you and the children to California. I thought to make you a great lady here. I thought I had everything. And then they find gold. And when you get here, I have nothing. This is a nice farm, Your Hon, and I like it.  Oh, look. Look, here comes a horseman at full gallop. Yeah, yeah. But it's our boy John. If something must be wrong. Oh, maybe he brings us good news. There is no good news anymore, Anna. Father! Yeah, yeah. Father! Oh, boy! Whoa, whoa! Father! Father, I've got news from Sacramento. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What is it? The Supreme Court has decided the land is all yours. All of the first grants. All? Father, you're a great man again. Your father has always been a great man. You'll be rich again, Father. No, no, I'm afraid it is too late. I should always be poor. But why? The land is yours. Yeah, but how am I going to get it? Thousands of squatters are living on it. They say it is theirs. Yes, but you can make them give it back. That'll take money. Money? Why, all that gold is yours. Not until I get every squatter off my land and move in myself. That means fighting every one of them one by one through the courts. Father! All that land and gold, all ours. And we can't touch it. Yeah. It's the curse of the Golden Touch, son. My sheep and cattle. My fields of wheat and corn. Even though you up the Sacramento Valley. Everything turned to gold. No, Johann. Not everything. I know what is left. We are left, Johann. Oh, forgive me, Anna. I was only thinking of what I wanted for you. I have all I want, Johann.  Anna, I should have known. I have no gold, but I am still the richest man in the world. Suffer's work was not done. With the more stable early Californians, he saw the need of government. He started as a delegate in the convention that drafted the state constitution and presided at his first session. As a man whose courage and enterprise brought wealth and opportunity to millions, and as a pioneer in the founding of one of the great states of the Union, Dupont salutes John A. Sutter as a gallant leader in the cavalcade of America. In Sutter's time, hardy adventurers dug into California's hills seeking riches buried by nature. Today, another kind explorer, the research chemist, is at work in Dupont laboratories exploring nature's innermost secrets, making discoveries even more important to you and to me than means of gold. Because these chemical discoveries mean greater comfort, convenience, and enjoyment for people everywhere. This evening, we announce another such development, an achievement of Dupont Chemists that is real news for every person who owns or drives a truck or automobile. Let's hear how a chemist describes it. Dupont Chemists have developed a new rayon yarn for use in automobile tires. Dupont's name of this new rayon yarn is Cordura, and it has a tensile strength as great as steel wire of the same cross-section. Tires made with it have been tested exhaustively, and results show four to five times more mileage, plus greater safety. Four to five times more mileage with greater safety at the same time. That is news indeed. Many tests were made on trucks and other motor vehicles under the most stringent conditions of heavy loads and high speeds. Tire makers point out that one of the main virtues of this new cord made of Dupont rayon is that it stands up so much longer under the extreme heat which develops inside a tire when it is run steadily under heavy loads and high speeds. And all tests prove that it will stand more flexing without breaking down, which is another important quality. At present, the output of Dupont's new Cordura rayon yarn is limited, and nearly all of it is going into heavy-duty truck and bus tires. However, production is being expanded as rapidly as possible, which means work for more people and eventually greater tire service and safety for all of us. Not so long ago, 5,000 miles was considered a good mileage for a tire. But since that time, the tire manufacturer and chemist have made remarkable progress toward better tires. Construction methods have been improved, and Dupont produces chemicals that help reduce the cost of tires by speeding up vulcanizing time. Other Dupont chemical compounds make rubber tougher and help tires combat their natural enemies' heat, sunlight, and the oxygen in the air, all of which cause rubber to break down. And now Dupont chemists have developed this new type of rayon yarn, Cordura. One more outstanding illustration of how Dupont chemists are making good their pledge, better things for better living through chemistry. George Washington's Scientific Farmer will be the subject of next week's broadcast. This coming Sunday, April 25th, many communities will change to day-life saving time. If your city or town does not adopt day-life savings, remember that next Thursday, the Cavalcade of America presented by Dupont will come to you one hour earlier. This is the Columbia Broadcasting System.


So, do you feel like when you look at the things that you've accomplished, man, on the hip-hop scene, is it love and hip-hop Hollywood? Yes, sir. Alexis? Sky? Yeah. You done dealt with a lot of stuff, man. How did you end up on that show? Yeah. Cause of Alexis. Yeah. Cause of Alexis. You basically, how did you meet Alexis? I did. I didn't know Alexis for years. Like way before- How did you meet her? She was a stripper. She was a stripper. So, I got a, my baby mama danced in the same club she danced in. Okay. So, I've been knowing both of them for years. You know what I'm saying? Mm-hmm. In Atlanta. Oh, okay. It was a strip club called Follies. Follies. I used to work there.   And I got her. You know what I'm saying? But my baby mama worked in the same strip club. Okay. This was before she got with, what's that boy name? What's that boy name? She went with nobody when I knew her. She was just- She was trapping. Okay. Okay. And I had been knowing. And then a couple years later, a person that used to be my assistant ended up being her manager. Okay. Was in the studio together. And she said she wanted to do music.  Cause they knew I was writing records for a lot of big artists. Like a lot of people don't know a lot of the shit I've been- I was writing for people with the people that's interior knew. So they told her.  I know Lucie. That's my boy. And then she told me one day she was going to go on Love and Hip Hop. And she was like, you want to go on Love and Hip Hop with me? And I watched it and I seen like producer niggas on there.   That's a fact. Anybody in the world that has it right now, they going to tell you.  She was like, well just, let's see what this going to be.  I ain't going to go on that looking line.   Wow. And she got into it one day with the dude on the show. And when she left the house, I put her location on. I'm like, I'm going to make sure my girl lies. She was crying. She was nervous. She was scared. And the next day I went to the set and one of the producers seen me there and they were just like, hold up, whatever you're going to do, like don't do it. Like, I know who you are. Let's just talk. Give me your number. And that's how I go on the show. Wow. So how was it? How is that? And I know you don't want to go too in detail on it, but as far as helping the career or how does it make you look at in a career, you know, what's up with that move? Because a lot of times when people be there, it makes you look a certain way far as your brand. So let's talk about that a little bit. I mean, I really wouldn't, as far as the brand part, I never really thought about it as much. But you see where I'm going though, right? Yeah, exactly. But I'm always so personable.  You know what I'm saying? But one thing that I can say a thousand percent, I never realized like how much of a beast TV was. Okay. Like that was after I had the song with Chris Brown.  My own song went crazy, but like the power of television, bro. Like the fan base from television, it went from like, with my son, Chris Brown, it went from like, from like the cousin and the daughter knowing me. Then I did TV. And it was like the cousin, the daughter, the mama, the Annie and the granny knowing me. Everybody. Like that TV is a different type of monster. And I wasn't, I wasn't expecting the type of monster. It was because at the end of the day, music is my passion. Music is my love. Anybody that know me know I'm, I'm amazing at music, bro. And that TV was a circumstance, but it also, I'm also an entertainer by heart. You know what I'm saying? If I knew the power of that before I started, not saying I wouldn't have done it, but I may have had things a little bit different. Which one was better? TV or a rapper? Better for what, bro? Five months. Money. A career. A career, yeah. I made way more money on TV than I made on music. Wow. So do you like being on TV more than you rapping? I don't like nothing more than I like rapping but pussy. Thanks. How much of the show was fabricated? It wasn't fabricated. One thing's about it.  It was staged. I ain't gon' say staged. I'ma say to the point where, okay. Prime example. Ball stop. 101. You at U.S.I. and you only had two girlfriends in your whole life. Two women. There's one woman and then your wife, right?  Yeah, they gon' pay for it. Oh, you ain't good, straight scrunch. I'm going. All that get what? Boom. Why you there? That might done talk to the other woman you've been in relationship. The only two women. You feel me? Now she see you succeeding. She might want to plead her love to you. But guess what? Your wife there. So they gon' send her in? I mean, hey, it's reality. That's your reality? Yeah. I felt it was like that. You feel what I'm saying? And then at that point, it's... I don't know.  It's up to your character.  And it's up to your character. That's what I really see at first.  But it's your life. See, one thing, Ray J told me, this the one thing that made me do the show. And after I done it, it's the one thing that made me understand the show. I like it.  You might as well get paid for your problems.  When he told me that everything made sense, got normal for the old, so the other... My business gon' get mad, they gon' get... I might as well get paid for them being mad. And then if they want to get mad, bitch, they might as well get paid for being mad.  You gon' get paid for it.


time here from Lawrence Systems and what is BGP is a popular question being searched today on October 5th because on October 4th approximately 1130 Eastern Standard Time the world got more productive when Facebook went down. Now this was obviously filled with conspiracies and crazy things like well did they get attacked it's somehow Mark Zuckerberg have to be rebooted we're not really sure what's going on and of course everyone's speculating going on and on about it and we now have a D briefly understand 24 hours later why it broke and why it's back up now and well I don't really know why it's back up other than so people can post memes and share terrible ideas anyways Facebook's back and the reality of it is BGP is one of those things that I think people should take some more time to understand and also pull their hair out screaming like is this really how the internet works is it really this delicate and yeah it is I've done a few videos on this topic before now Cloudflare and Facebook both have postings that I'll link to down below kind of a debrief and write up but Cloudflare also has a really good write up on how BGP works so initially people thought it's DNS because it's always DNS is the joke in the IT community and the name servers of course were knocked offline but it was a lot more complicated than that to be very basic BGP is the routing protocol so all the different autonomous systems that each of these companies control can talk to each other or at least know how to talk to each other this is what they call a BGP route announcement so Facebook has their autonomous systems Cloudflare has their autonomous systems Comcast Verizon level 3 networks and many many companies you've never heard of that make up the backbone of the internet all have their own autonomous systems companies big companies small and lots of in between now in order for us to know how to get from point A to point B this is where the BGP route announcement system comes in and plays a role in this companies have to announce where they're peered with what other autonomous systems and this is how the resiliency of the internet is supposed to work so if you're peered with several different places you announce your peers and the peers accept the routes and everyone can talk and from the end user standpoint this is very invisible when you go to facebook.com it always finds the most efficient route wherever Facebook has these autonomous systems peered with the other autonomous systems that are related eventually back to the ISP you use that transported you across to get to these but with great power comes great risk and that great risk is if you push the route wrong and you announce them all wrong simultaneously because you built some type of automation tool that didn't validate these route changes you can suddenly point to nothing and no one knows how to get to you and you can't get to anything now this caused a cascading calamity of errors over at Facebook that essentially it sounds like they were unable to even access the tools that they needed to revert this this is why the outage was not just like hey undo and hit that reverse button somehow when this system got automated pushed these route changes that were not valid were accepted by all of Facebook's global data centers and all their different autonomous systems and uh yeah they went down and they had no way to do it other than to go into each of these places and kind of you know plug in and hit the undo button but then as i understood that it became a bit more challenging because people that were physically at those locations didn't have authorization or understanding of how to undo what got pushed from the main headquarters out to these systems so this whole back and forth uh took roughly five hours six hours of outage and you gotta remember it even after fixing it there's a series of queries that are all hitting these because everyone's refreshing their Facebook on their phone and looking for it so it eventually came back online for better or worse so that's what happened no big conspiracy no real the various things happen oops accounts for more outages in the tech industry than any type of threat actor if you work in it long enough you'll just shake your head a lot at how delicate these systems actually are and i actually had a fun time explaining to my dad who does not really use technology he heard that the internet broke and i thought it was funny that it reached someone like my father who's not very tech savvy and uh he said ah the internet breaks son because you know he thought i had something to do with it so it was amusing and it was fun i told him i would do a video explaining that it's really kind of uh more delicate that this system that was designed by darpa to survive nuclear wars and attacks um can be a couple button presses away from partial outages that a system that people find really important and if you follow back through my bgp video that i have when forizen accidentally accepted a bad route change and uh yeah you can see that we lost internet and part of the eastern seaboard so this incredibly robust system can really fall victim to really simple commands and people going oops and uh the famous words of well now we know that can happen that probably were said that people go well yeah this is uh it's a lot more delicate thing you think and uh it's not really anything you have to have a conspiracy for other than people sometimes press the wrong set of keys and that happens so i'll leave links to the cloudflare and facebook post uh and do take the time to read if you want to get a deeper understanding of how bgp works cloudflare has a really good write up on that you know it's an interesting protocol it's something i find kind of fascinating and uh yeah hopefully as we need more people in this industry that don't do oopsies and can look over the shoulders of the people uh before they push these oopsies that'd be great or maybe if there was some way to validate changes you know well there is but hey you know that's throw safety to the wind don't they have a policy over there like break things fast maybe policy might

They don't want to be involved in that It doesn't interest them They get bored They just make some push you away even more. It makes them just want to Go off on their own and Find something else or do something else rather than Wanting to be with you rather than wanted to work things out They just want to leave you to try to fix things But when you do that, they really don't care about you. They don't give you any of their time or attention so let's talk about Making the narcissist crawl back to you to do that You need to take your attention off of them You need to stop focusing on them Stop trying to fix things Stop caring so much the person who cares the least Has the most power in the relationship when you care too much You're giving your power away Because they don't care at all. They don't really want things to get better If they did they would have taken the proper action to make things right Sometimes you just got to stop and ask yourself Why are you making all of the effort? Why are you trying to make things right? When you ask yourself that question And you take a step back Then the narcissist Is doing all of these crazy things to try to get your attention To try to get you to come back to them because they sense it they feel you pulling away They feel that they're losing your energy and they hate that They can't survive without it, but they'd rather just put you on the shelf Where your attention is still on them While they don't really care about you That's the perfect setting for a narcissist, but if you're watching this video You really need to take your power back You need to understand that You don't really need them anyway They need you far more than you need them and when you realize that They makes them Come crawling back to you especially if you still fake interest in the narcissist If you pretend that you still went to relationship with them Which I don't really recommend But if we're talking about making the narcissist Come crawling back That will do it But you have to make him you have to make them think that They need to fix something for you They're not doing enough for you because narcissists they do want validation That's what they're seeking But when they feel like they've already got you They feel no need To make an effort with you anymore Just some of my thoughts for today On this topic it's starting to rain now, so I'm gonna end this here But thank you all For joining me. I'll talk to you all in another video very soon


So in today's video, we're going to be talking about the 21 highest paying work from home jobs. And this is going to be without a doubt, the best video available on the internet. And this is something where if you really pay attention to this and you get one of these jobs, it can literally change your life in three months. Many people have done this. There's interviews on my channel of people who have gotten jobs in 10 days, 14 days, there's even a 16 year old who was able to get a job using these methods that I'm going to talk about in this video. And this is going to give you a bunch of different options for really good, remote or work from home jobs. And this is going to be 100% backed by the best data available on the internet, as well as my own experience helping a bunch of people get these types of jobs. So if you appreciate this type of content, go ahead, cheers the like button and let's get right into it. All right, so just a few years ago, I was actually stuck working like 13 hour shifts during the pandemic because I worked in healthcare. I was extremely stressed out. I was burned out. I was pretty depressed and I had anxiety and all those things that you can talk about. And this was after doing everything right, going to school, getting a doctorate, becoming a pharmacist, right? I did everything that all the experts say that you should do. Yet I felt trapped in an endless cycle of eat, sleep, work, repeat. Then I finally decided to change things and I tried working remote for the first time. I went to Puerto Rico with my best friend, John.  I had an amazing time as well and my life was never the same again. And after doing this, I knew there was absolutely no way I could ever go back to working like a normal nine to five job where you go into the office. And there are so many benefits of working from home or working remote that I'm going to go over in this video as I present these different options to you. And chances are, depending on your personality, many of these options are going to be really good for you. So there's gonna be great options if you're introverted, extroverted. There's gonna be really good options if you're somebody who's artistic or somebody who's analytical.  So the first one is going to be copywriting. And I'm gonna tell a story about someone who I'm gonna call Jed. So Jed was basically a journalist. He was making about $60,000 a year, but he really did not want to continue doing journalism. It just wasn't something that interested him all that much. And so he looked for other opportunities in order to get paid for his writing skills. And the opportunity he found was copywriting and he basically doubled his salary and he also enjoyed his job even more. So what exactly is copywriting? It's the ability to sell or market a product or service using the written word. Now, if you've ever gone to Amazon, the people who write the product descriptions are copywriters. If you ever turn on your TV, the people that write the scripts for those advertisements are copywriters. And if you've ever looked at a video sales letter for an online course, the people who write those are also copywriters. And it's basically a way of communicating the value of your product or service in such a way where you prove to them that it's going to solve whatever problem that they have. And this is an insanely valuable skill. Not only right off the bat, can you make money from it as a freelancer so you can do it kind of as a side hustle, but you can also get a full-time job. And it's one of the best skills you could possibly learn if you want to start a business later on down the line. So if you're somebody who is really attracted to sales or marketing, but you don't really want to show yourself on camera, you want to do it more through the written word, copywriting can be amazing for you. Now, according to Glassdoor, copywriters make about $51,000 a year, but you have to understand this is the entry-level role. And also a lot of the copywriters that report probably just do it part-time. According to BLS, full-time copywriters make about $80,000 a year. Now I'm gonna give all of these a score from one to 10 with 10 being the best for getting a work-from-home remote job. And I can't give this one a 10 out of 10, even though it's a super valuable skill, just because of the fact that it is pretty hard to learn how to get good at copywriting. It is a skill you really have to work at. And so for that reason, it is gonna take a little bit longer than some of the other ones on this list. And I'm gonna go ahead and give it an eight out of 10 money score. Next on the list, we're gonna talk about social media operations. And this isn't just an operations job. This is basically any job related to social media because this is absolutely blowing up right now. And it's one of the industries that has the most opportunity. So for this one, I'm actually gonna tell the story of my operations manager, Kat. And I actually didn't get permission from her to tell this story. So I'll keep it really vague. But basically Kat runs the day-to-day operations within my business. And a lot of that does involve managing my social media profiles. And Kat's long-term goal is to actually start a social media company herself. And she's very open about that. And that's awesome. Some people think that you shouldn't tell employers about that. And I just could not disagree more. Employers, when they are on YouTube or anything like that, if they see you have a YouTube channel and you're making really quality videos, for instance, that is going to look incredibly attractive to them. And so Kat is basically getting paid to learn super valuable skills that align with her future goals. Good job, Kat. So if you look up social media operations on LinkedIn, there's about 7,000 job postings. And if you look it up on Glassdoor, they're making about $57,000 a year. Now this one is really good, but it's another one where it might take a little bit more time than a bunch of the other ones that I'm gonna put on this list. So for that reason, I'm gonna give it a nine out of 10 money score. Next one I'm gonna talk about is web development. And this is exactly what it sounds like. You're basically going to be writing code specifically for websites. So it's basically the easiest type of software development that you could possibly learn. And a lot of the time, people who start off in software development will learn web development or front end development because it's kind of the easiest one to learn. It's not nearly as technical as backend. Now, if you look up web development under jobs on LinkedIn, there's about 31,000 results. And if you look it up on Glassdoor, you make about $82,000 a year. And there are countless examples of people who have started off in software development by getting into web development first. It pays really well. It's relatively easy to get into. Now, the truth is this used to be one of those careers where let's say on a scale from like one to a hundred for your skill level, you could probably get into web development with like a 20 out of a hundred skill level. Now you have to probably have something like a 40 or a 50 out of a hundred in order to get into it. So you see a lot of people kind of complaining about how it's a lot harder to get into this now. But with that being said, if you use a lot of the methods that I tell you about on this channel, specifically making sure that you actually have pretty decent skills, creating a portfolio that clearly and easily showcases that you have those skills and then sending that portfolio to the right people in such a way where it's much more engaging, which I talk about on this channel, you will be able to easily get a job in web development. And this is one you could probably get into in about three months or so. So this is a really good one, a little bit harder than some of the other ones on this list that are basically like a cheat code. So I will give it a nine out of 10 money score. Next on the list is going to be tech sales. And one person who I interviewed on my channel who was able to get into tech sales was Kevin. And he was basically a laid off construction worker. So he was making really good money in construction, but the jobs were kind of like hit or miss, like he'd get a job and then he'd have a few weeks or a month where he wasn't working. So it was pretty good money, but it was also relatively hit or miss and it wasn't stable. And then the pandemic came and he got laid off and there was a long period where he could not find any work. And so he got on the internet, he started looking into different careers that had a lot of opportunity and tech sales popped up. And he was able to get a job in tech sales in a very short amount of time. I believe it was actually 29 days. So this is currently one of my favorite careers. I mean, this is basically a cheat code. There is so much demand in the market right now for people who have this skillset. And this is one of the ones that I recommend the most right now on this channel. Now I know everybody is kind of like freaking out about the tech layoffs, even though it's just like a very small percentage of people who are actually laid off. And it tends to be at the bigger companies who, you know, let's be honest, they hired way too many people and they didn't have work for them. But tech sales is probably one of the most recession proof jobs you can get. And the reason for that is because people who are on the sales or the marketing team directly contribute to the company's bottom line. Whereas there's a lot of positions out there that are kind of like infrastructure or operations, that sort of thing. And those are the positions that a lot of the time will end up getting cut first. Not to say they aren't important, but companies prioritize things differently in a recession. Now this definitely is not for everybody. There's a lot of people who kind of look into tech sales and they decide that it's really not the best thing for them, but it can be phenomenal for the right person. And I would say if I really just wanted to make it to $100,000 a year as fast as possible, if I was 18 right now and I literally just wanted to make it to $100,000 a year as fast as I possibly could, tech sales is the one I would go for. So according to Glassdoor, technology sales representative, which by the way is the entry level position, they make almost $90,000 a year. So this one is without a doubt one of the best on the entire list. I'm gonna give this one a 10 out of 10. Next let's talk about the one that I would personally do if I was 18 right now and I wanted to get into the job market and that is digital marketing. So I told you about the 16 year old James who was able to get a job and he lives in Australia where they allow 16 year olds to work and he basically was thinking, should I go to college? Should I go to, you know, trade school? Like what should I get into? And he looked around a lot and he found digital marketing and he thought it was a really cool skill. He thought it, you know, matched his personality. It also had a ton of demand and he could get into it relatively quickly. So he tried to get into it and he was able to land a job at 16 years old. Obviously he did not have any previous work experience because he was a 16 year old and he was still able to land a job because he did the things that I recommend on this channel. First of all, he found an in-demand valuable skill that matches his personality. Then he learned some of the core fundamentals of what you need to know in order to get into that skill. And then he showcased a portfolio that very clearly showed that he actually knew those skills in such a way where it's easy for people to find it. And then he applied to the right companies and he sent them that portfolio and he was very easily able to land a job at 16 years old. And I believe he was making over $40,000 a year. And on top of it, he was only working part-time. So he was only working 30 hours per week because he was busy with other things. Now, if you look up digital marketing on LinkedIn, this does fluctuate quite a bit but there's over 160,000 results. And if you look up digital marketing on Glassdoor at the entry level, it's about $60,000 a year. So yeah, this is the one that I would personally choose just because it matches kind of my skill set and what my goals are in life. If I was 18 right now, you're probably gonna make a little bit less money than tech sales, but you can still make it to that six-figure mark within about three to four years. This one gets a 10 out of 10 score as well. Okay, next one on the list, I'm actually gonna combine two different ones. And that is IT Help Desk, as well as IT Security, also known as Cyber Security. So the reason I'm combining these is because I wanna put as many really good options on the list as I possibly can. But this is another one of the best options you can possibly go for. I would argue this might be one of the easiest ways for you to possibly break into the technology industry without going into sales. And one of the reasons why you want to break into the technology industry is because very simply, it's probably the best industry you can possibly work in. It has the most opportunity, the best benefits, the best pay, the best work-life balance, the best ability to get remote jobs, et cetera, et cetera. Now, the best thing about the majority of entry-level IT careers is they absolutely do not require a college degree. If you get a college degree, great. That's another great way to get into IT, but they do not require one. And in many cases, you can get in with a certificate. And in a lot of cases, which I've actually talked about on this channel, you can get in even without certificates. Now, there is a plethora of different IT-related jobs. One of them would be IT Security Specialist. If you put that in on LinkedIn, you're gonna see 8,000 results. If you type in IT Security Specialist on Glassdoor, you're gonna see $83,000 a year. And again, keep in mind, this is the entry-level role. There's tons of other jobs you can move into that pay much better than that. So yeah, IT is phenomenal. This one gets a 10 out of 10 career score from me. Next, let's talk about something that isn't technology-related, and that is going to be travel agent. Now, this is one that, again, you can definitely get into it without a college degree. And there are many examples of people who have had successful careers doing this. It's also one that you can do part-time, right? So you can do it kind of on the side, even as a business side hustle, you can do it part-time, or you can do it full-time if you want. Now, if you type in travel agent on LinkedIn, there's over 60,000 results. Now, you can differentiate yourself as a travel agent by specializing in certain areas. So let's say you live in an area, the world that a ton of people want to travel to, you can actually differentiate yourself as a travel agent by living in that area and kind of knowing all the best attractions. And basically what you'd be doing is you would be helping to book flights, book hotels, tell people where all the best attractions are, kind of like maybe even make a little bit of a timeline for them when certain places are open, etc. Now, according to Glassdoor, travel agents make about $48,000 a year. This one is also a little bit harder to break into. So you're probably not gonna be able to break into this one in three months and start making like $50,000. But I did want to include this one on the list because I have seen a lot of people be successful with it. So for that reason, it's still a pretty good one, but I'm gonna give it a three out of 10 career score. Next on the list is going to be graphic design. This is one that can be extremely good if you go into the right niches and you learn the right skills. So for instance, let's say you're somebody who specializes in YouTube thumbnail design. That is gonna make you much more valuable than a general freelance graphic designer. But honestly, I think you should specialize even further. Let's say you're somebody who really likes watching personal finance content on YouTube. You can specialize in personal finance thumbnail design because let's be honest, all of the different niches on YouTube are slightly different in terms of what works to get people to click the videos. So I get people literally reaching out to me every day trying to be my thumbnail designer on YouTube and I'll look at their portfolio and they have graphic design stuff in their portfolio that has nothing to do with YouTube. And a lot of the time, if they do have thumbnail content, it'll be like a Minecraft video or something like that. And that isn't gonna attract me that much as somebody who's in the personal finance niche. So this one can be good if you niche down enough and the way you wanna do that is basically just look at what you watch a lot of on YouTube. So if you're very familiar with certain niches on YouTube, that would be the type of thumbnail design that you'd wanna do. So you really wanna niche down even further. But overall, something like thumbnail design does take a long time to get good at. It's something where you might design something that looks pretty, but it doesn't actually get the clicks, right? And unfortunately, that's just not gonna work. So there is an artistic and a technical side of thumbnail design because you have to get really good at Photoshop, but there's also a little bit of a marketing side as well. So for that reason, this one is gonna get a three out of 10 money and career score from me. Next on the list is very similar, but a little bit better in my opinion. And that is going to be video editor. Now, personal brands are absolutely taking off. You've probably seen like Mr. Beast, for instance, he was offered a billion dollars for his brand. He turned it down. Gary Vee basically said that he shouldn't accept anything under $10 billion. And honestly, even that might be too little. You've seen these creators launch $100 million brands with a single video. So the creator economy is just incredible. I mean, there's literally, you know, channels where it's just somebody in their kitchen recording videos that are getting more views than an entire news network. And they have no idea how to monetize it yet. They're just, this is just at the infancy right now. Creators like that, a lot of the time are only making like $10, $20,000 a month, but pretty soon they're gonna be making $100,000, maybe even a million dollars a month because they're not properly monetizing their brand. Whereas these news networks are getting less views, but they're making like $100 million a year. So when it comes to video editing, this is another one where you really need to niche down. So another example of this, I'll just use personal finance again, you want to learn how to edit videos obviously on YouTube. So if you're reaching out to YouTubers to try to get a job with them, do not send them your wedding videos. That is not going to impress any YouTubers. What you wanna do instead is send them YouTube videos that you've edited. And the easiest way to do that is to just start your own YouTube channel. And then of course, if you are able to edit videos for other YouTubers, that's great as well. And if you want to appear even more valuable, edit videos for other YouTubers that are in the same niche because again, every single niche has different personalities and sort of like a different meta of what works. And there's this thing that's emerging on YouTube called retention editing. And this is basically where you get people to stay on your videos while they're on YouTube. So basically you're just making the videos a little more engaging and you increase the retention of the video which makes YouTube, you know, send it out to more people. So this one is an incredible one to get into but video editing in general is saturated. But if you niche down, you do what I say on this channel, this one can be incredible. But overall video editing in general, I'm gonna give it a six out of 10. But if you niche down, like I said, this one could be like a nine out of 10 or a 10 out of 10. Next one on the list is going to be an insurance agent. Now, this is another one of those where you can get into it relatively easily. And essentially what you're going to be doing is you're gonna be talking to people who are interested in insurance and you're gonna be trying to convince them to buy your company's insurance or figure out what the best type of insurance is for them. Now, this one can be a little bit sketchy because some of the insurance companies can try to get people to buy insurance but they don't need, right? So a lot of the time the best insurance to buy is just gonna be term insurance, but they'll try to get you to buy like whole life insurance. But with that being said, I'm not being biased in this video. I'm just telling you which jobs are relatively easy to get into. So if you look on LinkedIn, this one has about 69,000 results. And if you look on Glassdoor, you're gonna see they make about $70,000 a year. So yeah, this is a little bit of a soul sucking job if you ask me, but if you need to get a job right away, this can be a good one. I'll give it overall a four out of 10. Next one on the list is data analyst. And this is another one of my absolute favorite careers you can get into at the entry level. So data is incredibly valuable, incredibly important. You've probably heard data is more valuable than oil or gold. And if you think about it, it makes complete sense. Like imagine your favorite sports team. Let's say your favorite sports team is the Los Angeles Lakers. If you send out a million ad impressions, like a million people see an ad for a Los Angeles Lakers jersey and you don't know who are actual Lakers fans, you might get like, I don't know, let's say a hundred sales.  So they're in the market to buy a jersey, you're probably gonna get a thousand sales, 10,000 sales, maybe even like more than that. So you can see the difference that makes. That's like a 100X, maybe even like 500X difference from just randomly sending out ads to people. So that's why data analytics is so incredibly important. And if you type in data analyst on LinkedIn, you're gonna see 363,000 results. And if you look up data analyst on Glassdoor, you're gonna see they make about $71,000 a year at the entry level. Now this is one where it's a little bit harder to get into in my opinion than something like tech sales, IT, or digital marketing. And I've actually looked for a good course that basically takes you from like A to Z, zero to hero in teaching you how to get into data analytics. And I was never able to find one, but a really good place to start is the Google professional certificate for data analysts. That might not get you all the way, but it'll probably get you like 80% of the way there. So this one, I can't quite give it a 10 out of 10. If I'm able to find a course for that, that just takes you from zero to hero, I will give it a 10 out of 10, but this one I'll give a nine out of 10 at this point. Next on the list is going to be a creative director. And of course, the one that I would recommend going into is not like working in Hollywood or working for big advertising agencies, but actually working for a social media company. So this is another position that I recently hired. I got Job on my team, and he basically is a creative director for the YouTube channel. And as a creative director, you're going to help a company in all things related to their creative direction that involves artistic work. So if you look this one up on LinkedIn, there's about 16,000 results. That's pretty good. And if you look it up on Glassdoor, there's 142,000 results. Now this is not an entry level position per se. This is one where it's going to be easy for you to get in if you do have some experience. But with that being said, if you niche down and you become a creative director specifically for a YouTube channel, for instance, that's how you can actually get in without having any other previous experience. And again, you would do that by following the steps that I lay out in this channel of making sure that you have the right skills, you understand the niche that the person is in, you create a portfolio, you send it to them the right way, and that is how you can get a job. So one of the reasons I hired Job, for instance, is because he's very familiar with YouTube. He's somebody who watches a ton of YouTube just like I did. And in my interview with him, he actually brought up other YouTubers that I have watched for years. But yeah, this one, I am going to give a six out of 10 score for just because of the fact that it's not entry level and it's not something that everybody watching this video could easily get into. Next on the list is going to be a claims adjuster. And this is somebody who works in the insurance industry and you would basically take calls from people who are trying to claim their insurance. So let's say somebody had like a house fire, for instance, and they're trying to get some type of money back from their insurance company. So they say, there's $10,000 worth of damage. I want to get $10,000. And as a claims adjuster, you would say, okay, send me the information, send me the photos, send me the details of what happened. And you would determine how much you're going to give them or if you're going to give them anything at all. So this is kind of another one of those jobs where yes, it is relatively easy to get into, but it can also be a little bit soul-sucking. Because let's be honest, you have the best interest of the company in mind. So your goal is to give them the least amount of money possible. And of course, some companies are going to be better about this than others, but yeah, I think you get my point here. If you look this up on LinkedIn, there's about 2,000 results. And if you look it up on Glassdoor, you're going to see they make about $54,000 a year. So this is one that you can get into relatively easily. You don't need a college degree. You don't need previous experience in many cases. But with that being said, I'm going to give this one a four out of 10. Next on the list is going to be instructional design. This is another one of my favorite careers out there right now. So this one absolutely blew up during the pandemic. And I have a friend who is in instructional design and he was kind of just working as a freelancer. And during the pandemic, he was actually able to start a fully fledged business from this where he makes hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. So this is one that you can work part-time. You can do as a freelancer or you can get a full-time job or you can start your own business. So it's extremely flexible. And basically what instructional design is, is you are going to be creating instructional or educational content online that's interactive. A lot of the time this is going to be video content. So you'll be watching either an animation or a video from somebody and then a question will pop up, right? So you'll be learning about something and then a question will pop up that will test your knowledge. And if you ever had an entry-level job when they do the training at the very beginning and they have this sort of thing where situations pop up like a customer's really angry at you or there's some sort of spill in a store, something like that. And they will tell you exactly what to do and then they'll ask you what would you do in XYZ situations? Chances are an instructional designer created that. Now, if you look up instructional design on LinkedIn there's about 17,000 results but this is one where there's a lot of different like job titles related to it that are different. So there's actually a lot more results than that. And I actually just find this extremely interesting in general because they're basically trying to make learning more fun, right? So they're kind of trying to gamify learning when it comes to instructional design which I think this is going to get even bigger in the next five to 10 years. This is also a very artistic endeavor. So you are going to be kind of creating videos. You're gonna be creating animations and you are going to be educating people as well. So this can be a really good one if you're somebody who wants to do art as a career. And on Glassdoor they say you make about $78,000 at the entry level and of course it gets much higher than that once you move up to the higher level position. So this one is gonna get a nine out of 10 career score from me. Next on the list we're gonna talk about SEO specialists. Now SEO stands for search engine optimization and this is basically how you get blogs and websites to rank on the top of Google. And I cannot emphasize how important it is to have your website ranking on the top of Google on the first page rather than on the second page or the third page because it can literally make like a 100X or a 1000X difference in the amount of money that your company makes. Now there are a ton of different names for different SEO related roles. I'm not gonna go into all of them but just know that this one has a ton of opportunity. If you look on Glassdoor it says SEO specialists make about $59,000 a year. Of course that is the entry level role you can move up into much higher level roles down the line. So yeah, this is one that you can get into relatively quickly. There's a lot of different SEO specialist type roles out there that I don't have time to get into in this video but this is one where I'm gonna give it an eight out of 10. Next let's talk about executive assistance and this one is basically exactly what it sounds like.  So you're probably gonna be doing things like managing a schedule, booking flights for them, fielding calls, et cetera. Now one thing that's really interesting about this role that is a huge upside to me is you are very likely going to be often communicating with other kind of like high level people. So if you're somebody who has the goal of being an executive later on in life this might be a really good opportunity for you because you're gonna be communicating with them, you're gonna be talking to them. It might even be a great way for you to network. And there's actually a story I heard of somebody who wanted to be a producer in Hollywood and this is kind of the way that she got into that. She became an executive assistant for a real producer in Hollywood and she was able to network with a bunch of other people and do a really good job and eventually she became a producer herself. And if you didn't know, becoming a producer in Hollywood is incredibly difficult. It's like one of the hardest jobs you could possibly get. But with that being said, this is a high stress job and becoming an assistant alone it doesn't have a lot of vertical growth to it unless you have like a very specific goal and also because of the fact that it's a little bit harder to get into. For that reason, I'm gonna give this one a five out of 10 score. Next, let's talk about virtual recruiters. And this is basically a recruiter for a company that just works virtually, it's that simple. Now as a recruiter, you're basically gonna go out there and look for the right people to fill certain positions for companies. And on LinkedIn, there's actually over 243,000 results when you type in recruiter. And if you look at this one on Glassdoor, recruiters make about $69,000 a year on average. Now this is one where there is a lot of incentives. So if you're a really good recruiter and you recruit for the right types of careers and you do a really good job basically finding the right people for those careers, companies will pay you a lot more. Now overall, I'm gonna say this one, it's a little bit harder to get into. It's also really difficult to be a good recruiter. Typically you have to have a lot of experience in a particular industry first, right? So the best way to become a recruiter is to first have a lot of experience in that industry and maybe even better is in that role that you're recruiting for. And then you can become a good recruiter because you'll be able to easily judge whether people are really good at what they're saying they're good at. But with that being said, because of the fact it's a little harder to get into and get good at it, I will give this one a five out of 10 money and career score. Next, let's talk about a really good super niche role called a link building specialist. So you remember when I was talking about SEO and I talked about how it's so important to get your blog on the top of Google on the first page? Well, link building specialist is one of the most important positions to make this happen. So essentially what they do is they get backlinks from other websites to your blog or website. And that might not sound, you know, all that important. You're, oh, you're getting backlinks. Why would anybody care about that? But that's one of the main ways that Google will actually tell that your article is high quality. So there are people that are professionals at literally reaching out to other websites all day long and trying to get backlinks from those websites. Now, according to LinkedIn, link building makes about $77,000 a year. And this is kind of an entry level position. But with that being said, you're gonna have a lot more success if one, you're an expert on whatever niche your blog is in. And two, you're really good at negotiating.  You have to give them value first. And that means you have to get good at negotiating. But with that being said, let's say you're an absolute personal finance nerd like me, you could work for a personal finance blog and reach out to other personal finance related blogs and try to get backlinks from them. And because of the fact that you're so familiar with the industry, it would give you a massive advantage. But again, on this one, I'm assuming you're an 18 year old that has no skills or anything like that. And for that reason, I can only give this one a seven out of 10 career score. But it can be a great opportunity for the right person. Next on the list is going to be an online tutor. Now, this is one that I did myself for many years. It's something that you can do kind of as a side hustle. You can do it part-time. You can get a full-time job.  And the more niche you get here, the better. I was actually able to get super, super niche with this one and I made over $100 an hour. So basically, you know, there's like science tutors, right? That would be like a massive niche. And then you would want to niche down even more. So in my particular case, I tutored people for pharmacy because I was a pharmacist. And even then I don't think you're niching down far enough even when you do that. You want to niche down even further. And what I did in my particular case is I tutored people in a specific pharmacy entrance exam called the PCAT or the Pharmacy College Admissions Test. And that is how I was able to make over $100 an hour when I was relatively young and inexperienced.  So there's a ton of opportunities for online tutors. And if you look it up on Glassdoor, you're gonna see about $44,000 a year. So I think the reason most people don't get paid very much as online tutors is because they don't niche down enough. That's the common mistake that you just see over and over and over again. If you're just a science tutor, for instance, that's definitely not niche enough. And so because of the fact that you sort of do have to be an expert and you have to kind of understand your niche, I can't give this one a super high rating, but I will say this is probably the best side hustle that I personally ever did. And for that reason, I'm gonna give this one a six out of 10 money score. Okay, so next on the list is going to be quality assurance analyst. And this is basically somebody who makes sure that some sort of software product or website when they're rolling out a new feature that it doesn't have a lot of bugs or it doesn't have a lot of things that are going to irritate the customers. And this is an incredibly important position not only because you make a quality product for your customers, but you're also able to get that product out much faster than other companies are able to. So there's a lot of companies out there where if they're able to roll a product out faster, that might save the company millions or even tens of millions of dollars if it's able to be rolled out maybe like a week before. So if you look up quality assurance analyst on LinkedIn, you're gonna see about 41,000 results. And if you look it up on Glassdoor, they make about $67,000 a year. Now, keep in mind that's just the entry level role. Now one thing about quality assurance is yes, you do need to know a little bit of coding in quality assurance, but it's not nearly as difficult as something like a backend software developer. So yeah, this is a really good one that you can get into relatively quickly. I'm gonna give this one a nine out of 10 remote career score. Next, let's talk about one of the most popular careers you hear so much about this one and that is software developer. There's basically like an entire industry around teaching people how to become software developers because it is such an in demand skill. Now there are many different ways of getting into software development, which is basically coding. You're gonna be coding different computer programs, different software, different websites, et cetera. Now some people get into this by getting a computer science degree or a software engineering degree. Some people get into this by going to a tech bootcamp that costs typically around like $10,000. Some people get into this by doing certifications. Some people get into this by self teaching. Some people do online courses. So you're gonna hear lots of arguments about the best way to get into software development. Everyone has their own opinion on it, but one thing is for sure, and that is if you are able to land a job, this is one of the best jobs you can possibly get. If you look at the financial independence retire early subreddit, which is basically a bunch of people who wanna try to retire by the time they're 30 or 40, you're gonna see this is the most common career that a lot of these people have. And on LinkedIn, if you look up software development, you're gonna see 280,000 results. And if you look it up on Glassdoor amazingly, even though it's an entry level job, you're gonna see that you can make about $95,000 a year. Now this one, it used to be incredibly easy to get into. Like five or 10 years ago, you could basically learn like the basics of the basics, create a good portfolio, have basic interview skills, and you could get a job in this. It's gotten a little more difficult now. It's not super, super easy like it used to be, but with that being said, it's still relatively easy to get into compared to a ton of different careers out there. So this is one where you probably are not gonna be able to do it in three months. It's probably gonna take you something more like six to 12 months in order to get into software development. But with that being said, I still have to give this one a 10 out of 10 score. Now one thing I say on this channel is always go where the opportunity is. This is the most important thing, like drill that sentence into your head if you have to, right, go where the opportunity is. Write it out on a piece of paper, put it up on your wall, put it up on the ceiling so you see it when you wake up in the morning, whatever you have to do, go where the opportunity is. And all of these on this list are careers where there's a good amount of opportunity. And of course the nine out of 10 or 10 out of 10 ones are the best ones. But with that being said, if you're not sure what career path is right for you or which one you wanna go into and you wanna sort of like sample them, sort of like a sample platter at a restaurant, what I recommend is the Google professional career certificates. And basically the reason these certificates were created is because there were certain positions at companies like Google, Facebook, et cetera, that they were having a ton of problems filling. They were having a lot of issues finding people that had these skillsets. So instead of relying on colleges which weren't doing a good job, they decided to create their own professional certificate program. And that's exactly what they did. And they created the Google career certificates. So you can basically audit these completely free. And if you wanna get the certificates, it doesn't cost very much. It's about $39 a month. And I made a video where I went over the top five Google professional certificates. And I highly recommend you check that out right here.


Nothing compares to the love that one has for their daughter. Emma's, we're talking about the love you have for your grandkid. Familiar love is great. Keep watching to find out what book we're talking about today. The nine-year-old and you're watching Kyla's reading day. So today we're talking about the book, The Night She Disappeared. This book is written by Lisa Joule. The genre of the book is fiction. The theme of the book is suspense thriller. So I was going on a kick for scary books. I didn't do it intentionally. I did it but maybe kind of because I was singing the titles and I was like oh let me write this, let me write this. Isn't a suspenseful book 100%? Isn't a thrilling book 100%? The ending still has me like what? And this book was all about multiple generations of love and also an intimate relationship between a mother and a father. So there's a quote in the book and I have to read it because it's pretty long. Men don't know how having a baby can make you protective of your skin, your body, your space. When you spend that day giving yourself to a baby in every way that is possible to another human being, the last thing you want at the end of the night is a grown man asking you to give something else. So that's a lot. You have the protective nature of your skin and your space.   Why do I gotta care for you too? I already care for this person who cannot care for them so my child and I gotta give to you. And so man there were there were so many layers here right? Without giving away too much of the story that is so indicative because Tallulah has a relationship with Zach. That's the man who wants her to give more. And then Tallulah is also still dependent on her mother for things. So it's like that quote applies to Tallulah and her relationship with Zach but it also applies to Tallulah's but it also applies to Tallulah's relationship with her mother Kim because Kim is like I'm already giving to you in every way possible and now you're always asking for more right? Now there's a grand baby that's even asking for more. And so I love it. It is a very very good read. It's a very good read. So would I reread this book? Yes I would and please turn it into a movie. Please somebody turn it into a movie because yeah I absolutely would read it and I can't wait to see who would play Tallulah right? That could be nobody's really good casting. Thank you for hanging out with me today on Kyla's Reading Day. We discussed the book the night she disappeared. So leave me a comment. Let me know how do you feel about suspenseful books. Let me know how you feel about that quote. Do you think it's a silly quote? I mean there's a ton of pages in the book and that quote jumped out to me because it was so indicative. But let me know. So until next time thank you for watching Kyla's Reading Day. Bye.

So in your channel, make a playlist that says my first videos, here is George's first videos, and everything that I've done in the past, representative sample, here's my first one, is in this playlist. So you should do the same. Now we're going to feature Crazy K Gaming, who's done that? He, well he didn't create a playlist, but he created a link. He sent us a link to his very first video. Roll it. A little boring, can't hear the game play, no commentary. How old is that video? December 29th, 2012. It's a long time ago. Let's look at how much you've improved Crazy K Gaming.

Let's get on to the next comment. Kiwi Mark shared his very first video that he started on a channel with some of his friends. It's in Danish. Let's have a look. Any other Danish people out there? So if you think I will comment on these videos, there's no face cam. We can't see you. But we can hear you very clearly. Well done. The audio quality is really good. How old is this video? January 17th, 2012, more than four years old. How much have you improved? And we'll go to Kiwi Mark because I think that's on an old channel. Who is Kiwi Mark? I'm Kiwi Mark. My name is Mark Cummings. Hi Kiwi Mark. I'm 16 years old. 16. And I love to play games. As you can hear on my accent, I'm Danish. No, but Danish accent sounds. Huge improvement. I love your intro. We can see you clearly. We can hear you clearly. You have nice music in the background. You're not using YouTube cards, which I would like to see you use in your channel trailer so that we can jump straight to the videos that you're going to feature or talk about. And I would encourage you to put some video footage I can see you've only put yourself. Unless you're a vlogging channel, which you're not. You do a lot of other kinds of videos, not just vlogging. You should put some clips into your channel trailer. Let's have a look at your thumbnails. And let's check out one of your videos. Assassin's Creed. Let's be ninjas. Black flag. Number one. What's up YouTube Kiwi Mark. It's here. And welcome to... See? You're using YouTube cards right here. Why not in your channel trailer? Black flag. So this is a 25 minute video and you're playing Assassin's Creed. So I would suggest adding more commentary to keep it exciting to watch. If you're just playing the game without adding any of your special flair, it's not as exciting. It can be boring. Elise Talks sent us her first video 16 hours ago. Let's have a look Elise at where you came from. Hey everyone. This is my second video. Can you actually believe that? I'm posting a second video. This is so cool.

We'll be only making Nutella cat if you want to learn how to make the... So that's not a channel trailer. It is one of your videos, but oh wow, 380,000 views seven months ago. Excellent. But why not create a channel trailer that tells us about your channel, who you are, why we should subscribe, answer the question, why are you unique, and why should I be excited to watch your videos? I think you would do better if you have a great channel trailer, not just a regular video as your default playing one. Well, let's have a look at your thumbnails.

Kentucky's tie-tie Washington is an all-around guard with good size at 6-3. The big question, though, for Washington at the next level, is he going to be a lead guard or a primary scorer? He was just two of ten from the field against St. Peters in the NCAA tournament, but he needs to decide if he's going to be a setup guy at the next level or somebody who really puts the ball in the basket. He showed last season he can do both. Remember, last season at Kentucky, tie-tie Washington had 17 assists in a game. He's one of the top guards in the NBA draft, but right now, his DNA seems caught a little bit between both worlds. Nevertheless, the physical attributes are there for tie-tie Washington to be an effective player at the next level. He can score, he can pass. The question is, what will he do better at the NBA level?


Mahasivaratri is of both spiritual and scientific significance. Shivaratri means the 14th day of every month, that is one day before Amavasya or the No Moon Day. There are twelve to thirteen Shivaratris in a year. Of all the Shivaratris, the Shivaratri that appears in the month of Magha during February-March is known as the Mahasivaratri or the Great Night of Shiva. In the northern hemisphere on this planet, on that day there is a natural upsurge of energy within the human system. Every life form experiences a certain upsurge of energies within themselves. This upsurge of energies can be truly made use of only by those creatures who have their spine erect. Our fortune of being human is we are the only species here who have graduated to that level of an erect spine. If you look at the evolutionary development of various species, you will notice that moving from invertebrate to vertebrate is one significant step and another significant step in the evolutionary process is a spine moving from horizontal positions to vertical positions. The true development of the brain happened only after the spine became vertical. As an Mahasivaratri night, there is a natural upsurge of energies keeping the spine vertical throughout the night has immense benefits. It is of great benefit particularly to those on the spiritual path but this is also significant for people who are in family situations and also for the ambitious in the world. For those on the spiritual path for the yogis, this is the day when Shiva transcended all the movement within himself and became utterly, absolutely still. On this day, his third eye opened and his perception blossomed. What we are saying is these two eyes are sense organs. They can show you the physical realities around you but if you want to see the basis of this reality, if you want to see the subtler reality which is beyond the physicality of nature, if you want to know this, you need another dimension of perception. The dimension of perception which is beyond the physical is known as the third eye. So this is the day which facilitates your journey towards the opening of your third eye or a deeper dimension of perception within yourself.
