people around the world are starting to realize that it isn't just about the money a lot of the time the reason that we want to make good money is so that we can live a certain lifestyle and then the reason we want to live that lifestyle is because we think it's going to make us happy but sometimes in the pursuit of happiness and making money we end up burning ourselves out to the point where we aren't happy at all [Music] and we end up in a situation where we were less happy than before we started
trying to get to that lifestyle so a lot of people around the world are starting to put more and more value on work-life balance while we're pursuing our professional goals we also want to enjoy our lives now everybody's different this is going to be more important for some people rather than others but in this video i'm going to give you a list of careers that have excellent work-life balance and some of these careers i have never mentioned before on the channel and all i ask in return is that you uppercut that like button like mike
tyson alright so let's get into it with the very first one on the list which is going to be government jobs all right i wanted to start the list off with government jobs this is very general there's a lot of different government jobs out there but most people who have either worked with the government contracted with them or interned with them know exactly what i'm talking about government jobs are known for being super super chill okay i've done internships with government agencies and a lot of the time the people will do like one hour of
work per day and then the rest of the eight hours they're you know on facebook reading articles getting errands done paying bills etc and of course there's always going to be exceptions but for the most part government jobs tend to be very chill and have really good work-life balance they also tend to have good benefits and the pay is really good as well so yeah government jobs really chill a good one to look into next one on the list is going to be for a particular type of person and that is an extrovert somebody who
likes to talk to other people all the time you really want to be social all the time anyways this is a great career for you and that is real estate agent right so real estate agents in case you didn't know they basically helped to facilitate the buying and selling of houses and if you look up real estate agents on glassdoor you're going to see they make about 136 000 a year and at the entry level there's about 35 000 results on linkedin now the reason this one has really good work life balance for somebody that's
extroverted is because part of the job of being a real estate agent is basically just being really well known in your community right so the best real estate agents out there are typically very well known they're very social outgoing they talk to people all the time in their community and so if you're the type of person that would be doing that anyways you might as well become a real estate agent so that when one of your friends or one of your acquaintances wants to buy a house they know who to go to but with that
being said if you're an introvert this might not have as good of work-life balance it is pretty intense and it does require quite a bit of work next one on the list is going to be statistician for some reason i have a lot of trouble saying that word but yeah it's somebody who does statistics for a living and they make about 99 000 a year on average and on linkedin at the entry level there's about 14 000 jobs so yeah this is another one relatively chill has pretty good work-life balance can be a little hard
to get your first job but once you get your foot in the door you get a few years of experience you're pretty much set for life next one on the list is going to be web developer now this is one that's sort of like software developer lite probably the easiest type of software development that you can learn and obviously it's going to be doing the coding behind websites and they make around 107 000 a year and according to linkedin there's about 128 000 web development jobs at the entry level so yeah this one is relatively
chill a lot of jobs in the technology industry you're going to notice are on this list technology is number one in just about every category out there including work life balance okay the technology industry is just totally op it's incredible when it comes to pay work life balance job satisfaction just about anything that you look at it's either number one or at worst it's like number two or number three next on the list is going to be in the finance industry and that is going to be financial advisor so this is somebody who advises people
on what they should do with their finances so you might advise people to put your money in an index fund or a mutual fund or maybe you advise somebody to invest in real estate for instance and according to glassdoor financial advisors make about 105 000 a year and at the entry level there's about 35 000 financial advisor jobs so yeah this one is kind of a little bit like real estate as well where you're sort of just like interacting with people and you're sort of like known in the community a good way to get a
lot of business is to just do a really good job with one person and then you know they go tell all their friends that hey oh you should you know meet my financial advisor he did a great job with me you know and that's how you build your business very similar to real estate next one on the list is going to be a recruiter and this is somebody who actually recruits people to fill positions for companies how would i describe myself three words hard working alpha male jackhammer merciless and if you are able to fill
that position you typically are going to get some sort of compensation and sometimes recruiters can make like ten thousand dollars for filling a position so this can be very lucrative if you're good at it however according to glassdoor recruiters make about 76 000 a year you can make a lot more a lot less depending on the industry that you're in and linkedin does have 206 000 results for recruiters at the entry level so there's a lot of demand for this career so yeah not the most difficult job in the world i mean it's kind of
as hard as you want to make it if you want to work harder you'll probably end up making a lot more money yeah it's a job that has a lot of work life balance here there's not somebody like breathing over your shoulder all the time you have a lot of initiative you can do sort of what you think is going to be the best move and of course a shane hummus video would not be complete without mentioning software developer probably the most op career out there 109 000 a year 175 000 jobs at the entry
level it is difficult to learn it's not the easiest thing in the world to learn it's also somewhat saturated at the entry level just because it's so good and so many people know that it's good at this point so you really do have to know your stuff in order to get a job next one on the list is going to be information technology and this one's not a career it's like a cluster of a bunch of different careers basically but you typically start off in a help desk type role but in general information technology makes
about eighty two thousand dollars a year and if you type in information technology at the entry level on linkedin you're gonna see a hundred and eighty one thousand results this one has very very good work life balance okay i have friends in information technology a lot of them will work like one or two hours a day and then they're done for the day and then they're just kind of sitting there on call waiting for somebody to email them of course not all jobs like i said right you can't speak about all jobs but a lot
of them out there are like that another one that's very similar to information technology and has similar work-life balance is going to be cyber security so cyber security is pretty obvious it helps companies protect their data which data is more valuable than oil or gold i've talked about that on this channel quite a bit and on average cyber security makes about 96 000 a year there's 59 000 jobs at the entry level so yeah really good one protecting data is really important and oh speaking of data the next one is going to be data analyst
data analysts are the ones that are analyzing that data that the cyber security people are protecting so data analysts make about 95 000 a year and there is a whopping 242 000 entry-level jobs on linkedin so yeah data analysts also have great work-life balance it's another one of those careers where you know you are going to be working but you're not going to be you know have somebody breathing down your neck you got all these crazy deadlines or anything like that it is relatively chill next one on the list is going to be owning your
own business now this one does have sort of a caveat right so owning your own business can be incredibly frustrating and incredibly stressful at times but with that being said the great thing about owning your own business is you always are the one who says whether you can take time off or not so you know i own my own business and if i want to go on a vacation like one of my friends says they're flying in and i just decided you know i didn't have to ask anybody i just decided i'm gonna go visit
him i'm actually gonna do this in about two or three days and i could not do that if i was working a job so yes i do work long hours i work really hard but i love my work but i choose when i work and when i don't work so in that way it does have a really good work-life balance next one on the list is going to be digital marketer and out of all of them on this list this one might have the best work-life balance so digital marketers essentially to a business owner are
like wizards right business owners have no idea how any of the what the digital marketer does works they just know that the digital marketer is bringing in a bunch of leads and customers which is translating to money so whether you spend an hour a day monitoring your ad spend or eight hours a day monitoring your ad spend they don't care as long as you're bringing in a bunch of customers and bringing in a bunch of money so i have heard over and over again that digital marketing is one of those careers that has great work
life balance if you want to have a super chill career you can do that if you want to work super hard and get lots of promotions and make more and more money you can also do that as well it's very flexible now digital marketers make about 84 000 a year and if you look it up on linkedin at the entry level there's a hundred and five thousand results now i've interviewed a bunch of people on this channel that have actually gotten jobs in digital marketing and they sort of reveal exactly how they do that and
spoiler alert it's all through this course that's owned by my friend seth seth gets amazing results from this course and he created a free master class which you can check out i'll put it down in the description as well as the pinned comment below it'll basically go over what digital marketing is the different digital marketing verticals and if digital marketing is a good career for you and i'm also going to put one of my favorite interviews right here so you can check that out and i will see you next time
