A prominent lawyer calls a plumber to fix a leak in his shower. After about 25 minutes the plumber hands him a bill for $200.00. The lawyer, enraged, says: “I’m a famous trial lawyer, and even I don’t make that kind of money for 25 minutes work!” “Neither did I when I was a lawyer”, says the plumber.
Yep, stopped being a lawyer and became a debt collector for that reason. Base rate was just as much, but adding commission made 50% more and didn't have to work for free after 5pm.
You’re paying to get the job done. If he spent 2 hours, would still be $200. Also there’s a whole business aspect aside from the plumbing you have to handle
I know this is trolling but I’ve actually seen this and it’s hilarious how disconnected the education system is from today’s workforce and compensation
Ay man tbh u dont have to enroll colleges tho. If u need the knowledge for the career then yeah, but all in all it's optional. Given the broad range of jobs nowadays, formal education may not be the best option. But yeah. Ppl literally choose to be in college, its not mandatory.
I would be surprised if he say “ bro I get paid a 1000 a hr to sit down and go to sleep” 😂 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OyuAvGapEVk.html
This is why being able to talk about your salary and wage shouldn't be taboo. It allows companies or employers to under pay for the skills required. The underpayment is why I started my own company, and it does wonders.
This video hits deep. I have a PhD in cell biology. While I was a postdoc, I remember having a casual conversation with a butcher and found out he earned twice as much as I did. I started studying for IT after that and quit a year and a half later for an IT position that paid significantly better. Moral….don’t dwell on the sunk cost fallacy
@@MrSquishles exactly I started with mechanical engineering in college, but I was lucky to find that out early from a Freind who get hired from his first job in ny. He get payed less than $25, I tell her to become a stripper and flush her degree. Lol. Next semester I change my major
@@dontbemadatthemirror681 I wish someone told me how much my profession makes (architect). But fucking hell, it’s as sacred as holy trinity and the people I ask about in my internship don’t want to say and what they said to me was “don’t bother about the pay when you’re starting, just learn what you can”. Turns out, our starting salary was almost 250 usd/month (I’m in developing country btw so it really is low, but still lower compared to call center agent who don’t have a fucking degree). I only learned how much really is the pay when me and my batch mates got our first job. The worst thing is, some of us even got 150usd/month salary. They are really desperate for a job. And the working environment was not good either. I was working 15 hrs a day EVERYDAY back in my first job and quit after 1 month because of it. Now, I’m still unemployed.
Comparing a job to a business though lol. If you can convert some side project into a startup you can make wayyy more than 100k in comparison, especially if it goes unicorn. But also as a job if you manage to make it to Sr Engineer + as a Software Engineer you will double that really just from going to work and doing what you do. Most trades cap because there is only so much you can do as a single person, so unless you expand into business space thats all he will ever make, and it will decline as he gets older and can't take as many clients. But Hustle is Hustle. Do what you love to do is more important doing what earns you the most money imo.
If its any consolation I still think you're in the better place because of job security. Every company uses some kind of software, but being a hairdresser is a social word of mouth game. It's subjective as hell. I do wish I could braid though, that's like $30 an hour across the board.
moral of the story: if ur gonna start a business, start one that helps people be more lazy.......dog watching,uber,food delivery, grocery delivery, amazon.
@@irontrunk2267 they’re saying when you start a business, saving people time and energy is what sells. Your employees who work under you aren’t gonna be making shit though you’re right about that.
"Easy money bro easy money!" "We literally doing nothing!" "We didn't have to go to school for none of this junk!" "Big money Will! Big money Will!" They just keep throwing salt on the wounds...
Pokimane: “$2000 a hour, bro! I just chat with simps and play video games. I’m not even good bro, I die like twelve times in two minutes on Fortnite and they still be giving $100 donations. You know how much they pay me to whisper dumb bullshit into a microphone on my ASMR channel on top of that? $5000 a video, bro, shit is crazy”
Fn LowRize bruh you can. Autodetailers and house cleaners if they work quick, they car charge 50-100 a car for a regular clean and average 100 an hour. Create a company and act like you work as a contractor, you might get tips also.
@@amaanrehman1983 Hello amaan I dont necessarily have a job but own a freight transport company I've got 7 vehicles in my fleet not much but its growing I'm currently 29 years old, told my self I'd rather be the man then work for him.
Rollie55 imagine spending most of yo ur adult life just to be smart n have a better living for yoself just to see some kid who just makes dumb videos for an audience of ppl who enjoys that same dumb shit n finds out they’re making money off of it..... while getting payed more because of the sponsorship they have wit tiktok
@Rollie55 Why don't you get the point... You work your ass off all your life and got a PhD and some dumb kid who just dances in front of camera and makes more money is definitely depressing for those who value education...
Lol so true. I was making $25 an hour as a lawyer, not including the free work I was doing overtime. Immediately started getting 50% more when I became a debt collector with the plebs.
@@JeffJaymes no, at most you can make 50$ an hour in California as an ibew electrician. If it's not cali installing lights and knowing how to put in circuits averages at 30 an hour. But that's with 5 year training.
from another point of view, the Ph.D. dude accomplished a lot. He got a deeper understanding of a particular field. Too bad our current world can't appreciate these and a lot more professions. I hope it'll change someday.
@@tightfoo wdym? I live in a country where a lot of universities are free and yet very well trained people have to go out and look for a well paid job in other parts of the world. Medics have to study so much and they get paid so little.
@@abdimalikelmi2853 Oh you'll stop feeling that way when you find out about our crippling inflation and 60-year-long economic crisis! But yes, education-wise, I feel quite lucky
nah it definitely matters id rather work 10hrs a week for 100 an hour than be working 50+ a week for 25 an hour lol. might make more total cash but time is valuable.
Or salaried employees while wage workers were getting benefits from the state. I make $700 fixed (after tax) and there were people making $1400 (tax) for working every day.
3 of us at my job had to keep working and fill the roles of like 6 workers who had to stay home. They all got paid in full to stay home and us 3 that went over our contracted hours and took on 3 times the amount of responsibility and work load didn't get shit for it. Should've just lied that I had the sniffles and got a paid holiday
If you enjoy this stuff I can tell you some other guys who do sketch comedy it’s honestly an art that died like 7 years ago and I want support to show up to it and revive the art form
On that second "nothing" with the boom sound effect, I watched 30 other videos and subscribed. I cried of laughter at some of these. It's been like 2 years since that happened. Also I'm Canadian. This is what I experience every time I meet someone who has my job, but lives in America.
That’s simply because with being a doctor comes a fixed salary that only changes with promotions (if doctors even get promoted). Tik Tok stars however due to not having a fixed salary can make however much money they can score.
Imagine working so hard in college for 4 years just to see someone who didn’t go to college make 70x more than you plus it’s something simple. Someone have to die for this
I mean people have this idea that if u don't go to college or uni u ain't gone make it , it's all about saving your earnings smartly so u got money to fall back on , also just don't trip that hard on shit if things aint work out , just pick yourself up and don't be scared to try something new
Don't be mad when I say this is actually a fact with most students. They go to college and sometimes only end up in a 401k working for the food industry making minimum wage. For years. It's Foul play.
Damn straight. I used to tutor rich kids for 60/hr. Some Russian oligarch mum I worked for once handed me 100 bucks for just reciting the continents to her kid. Then I went to university. Should've stuck with that instead...
Reminds me of the rich girlfriend I had *in* college - sitting here like "damn I should have stayed with her" because her dad could have gotten me a job with big ass weapons corporation and this sounds cool AF nowadays but back then I was like thinking it was dirty money... (and now I know better) Dude made 400K / year back in 2008, we would literally eat at Ruth's Chris for fun, the dude would just drop hundreds of dollars at a time and throw me cash every so often. Their parents gave me a gift basket!!!!! O.O I'm so stupid!!! She's the kind of girl I could actually date nowadays too, like I would vibe with her now. I think I broke up with her back then because something about the relationship felt empty. Yeah there was this lack of emotional connection which basically came from just her needing to mature, I dated her when she was a freshman and I was a senior
@@3sb175 If he really lives next to this kid; (and is probably a kid himself) he's not even going to understand the concept of money. Parents pay for everything and you live in some high end neighborhood. How would you even understand what rich is?
Any major is fine as long as it’s relevant enough. The issue in the vid wasn’t the type of major it was the fact that he went for a PHD. A PHD is overrated tbh.. but a bachelors or masters works just fine
And It’s Like When You Touch Your First Thousand Dollars, You Start To Rethink Again Which It Causes You The Save, I Ain’t Gone Lie This The Type Of Video We Can All Relate Too
@@kyled5724 accurate Af honestly. My mom works in a hospital risking her life for $17 an hour while mfs get paid the same amount installing cable and shit🤦🏾♂️😂💯 very accurate.
Or road to opportunity, a lot of people don't ask for that raise until they learn their Co-worker or someone with equal skills make 20k more. Inspires people to step up their self worth
It can be..but if you can find a better way follow whatever opportunity pops up and roll with it.. just sacrifices comforts of today for luxury tommorow
Lol yeah, unless you finna be a some sort of doctor, astronaut, lawyer or something you'll genuinely enjoy, college is a great scam for digging a debt hole for most people.
"Go to college unless you want to flip burgers for a living." 15 years later: "What? You think you're too good to flip burgers for a living just because you went to college?"
@@thalmoragent9344 Nah, because you have people who are cool but you try to hook them up but they miss out and on the other hand they don't want what you doing. Notice how the joke is that he did all that school work for pretty good pay yet other stuff pay more that take less effort, not that he wants the other stuff. Easy example, Sanitation in New York State, MTA metro or USPS, UPS or FedEx drivers or warehouse line. None of these require college but all start off at $20-$30 an hr with stability and build up over time. You can literally jump into these at 18-21 years of age instead of getting a Bachelors or Masters degree in 4-6 years and already have reached $70,000 annually in that time period at 24 or around 28 years old and that does not include benefits or promotions etc. The "real homie" will be like hey why don't you work with me? and the PHD guy will refuse stating he doesn't want that line of work or that it's not for him. Why did he go for the degree in the first place? a sense of accomplishment and the social belief that you MUST go to college to succeed. Nobody talks about state jobs or Tradeschool or small business start ups or free lancing which have way more earning potential and or easier start up. ie. Lenar himself would be in the category of small business as he built a comedy brand around his name. While you guys all talking about the real homie, he's literally doing what the guys in the joke are doing while you aren't and the other opportunities are already available to all of us, most just don't take it and go the college route because it's what is expected and nobody informed anyone otherwise.
