Across the country, meet four millennials whose careers pay in the $80,000 range.
Mark Jones is owner and pool tech at Blue Street Pools and he expects to bring in between $89,000 and $100,000 this year. After cycling through jobs at Apple, Enterprise, Uber, and Lyft, he decided to take control of his income and start his own business.
Katie McRose, 26, and her wife Darian travel around Texas to sheer sheep, llamas and alpacas. They founded their business, Right Choice Shearing, in 2019. Servicing over 575 farms, they aim to bring in at least $80,000.
Roger Cuadra, 40, is a heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) technician in Anaheim, CA. Born in Nicaragua and raised in Whittier, CA, Cuadra’s career started at a Food For Less where he worked as a bag boy making $7.25 an hour. He makes $80,000 but hopes he will cross the $100,000 mark working for Nexgen Air and Heat.
Samantha Griffin, 34, is a doula and owner of DC Metro Maternity, an agency specializing in labor and postpartum support for women of color in DC, Maryland and Virginia. Raised in the suburbs of DC, Samantha became interested in race and gender studies while attending Duke University, leading her to work at various non-profits while volunteering as a doula before making it her full-time career in 2016. At the time of filming, Samantha was making about $85,000 a year.

First
But…where they live makes all the difference. 80K isn’t the same everywhere. I did enjoy this story!
I'm so excited 😊, my life has totally Changed since I invested $13,500 and now make $34,970 every 14 days.
I just applied for a job on LinkedIn and they offered me above 80k.
I HAVE INCURRED SO MUCH LOSSES TRADING ON MY OWN…I TRADE WELL ON DEMO BUT I THINK THE REAL MARKET IS MANIPULATED… CAN ANYONE HELP ME OUT OR AT LEAST TELL ME WHAT I'M DOING WRONG ?
The pool guy and sheep steerer I follow them on TikTok and enjoy learning and watching them.
Now I wanna see CNBC do American Greed on these people….LOL
Trade jobs are in such high demand! You don't have to go to college to get a well paying job! Money is money.
Exodus 3v11-12
😇🙏
The Lord's Word is His token, for He needs nothing to back it up (Exodus 3v11-12). Neither silver nor gold or any material thing as the Hebrews did on their sojourning to Canaan (Exodus 3v21-22). So that they might not grow disheartened at having nothing for money nor barter nor utility in providing themselves food and drink by work. The Lord's Word unto Moses was token enough, and for His brethren and sisters in the Hebrews a special promise for provisions did Jehovah make unto them. Mount Sinai in itself was a bonus token (Exodus 3v12), in reward for keeping faith on the token of Jehovah's Word holding True always. Specifically at delivering His people from bondage, to come unto Him in worship. As Jesus did in freeing us from bondage, so that we might also worship Jehovah where He lives, everywhere (John 4v21). For Moses knew Jehovah was His keeper, His Shepherd, in whose presence He wanted for nothing. Not even shoes as at the burning bush nor on the way to Canaan, where not even the sandals on His feet nor the Hebrews wore down (Exodus 3v5-6; Deuteronomy 8v4, 29v5). For the Lord's Word in keeping His people always holds, and never lets them down (Exodus 15v22-27, 16v1-36, 17v1-16; Isaiah 55v8-11). Be it Moses or any believer. In the Mighty Saving Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
😇🙏
should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt? And he said, Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be a token unto thee, that I have sent thee: When thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain.
Exodus 3v11-12 (KJV)

“When nobody else celebrates you, learn to celebrate yourself. When nobody else compliments you, then compliment yourself. It’s not up to other people to keep you encouraged. It’s up to you. Encouragement should come from the inside.” – Jay Shetty ✨
The sheer ladies seem awesome!
So they took 4 old videos and lumped them together like it’s new content? Meh
What’s up with all the repeats .. it’s like 90s tv sitcoms all over again .. nothing new just repeats ..
80K is NOTHING!!!! I make $185K & I’m currently interviewing for other positions.
My fiance makes more than me currently. 80K is literally PENNIES!!!
Great video, I have a quick question. I am an aspiring trader, I am looking study some traders and earn off their expertise rather than investing myself and lose money emotionally. Whats your take on copy trading? Do people really make money? Just looking for some reassurance. Thank you!
CNBC Make It must be running out of material.
I love this channel
The pool story made me feel good
America the land of opportunity
The sole secret of making steady gains in crypto is simple; get in with the right approach!! You don’t expect your first attempt to raise huge gains due to social media hype. Take your time and search for a trustworthy professional and keep up with their trades.
My financial consultant is Amanda Rose Kelting, I found her on a CNBC interview where she was featured and reached out to her afterwards. She has been of immense help to my portfolio
Everybody is concerned about the market going down but refusing to take advantage of it. The best decision I ever made in my life was investing in the crypto market. Trust me guys, it really pays a lot!☺️
so great to see all these incredible people making such a difference in their communities and having thriving businesses!….congratulations!
Shearing is caring
One thing you should know is that a crash and bullish market provides equal high-yield potential,it's all about information and strategy application, I've seen folks make huge 7figure profit in a crashing market and pull it off much easily in a bull market Unequivocally the crash/recession is getting somebody somewhere rich.
I wonder when @Grahamstephan will be hitting up on this video
06!
Wow God Bless
I'm Nicaraguan as well!! Was shocking to know Mr Cuadra was from my country 👍❤
Successful people don't become that way overnight. What most people see at a glance-wealth, a great career, purpose-is the result of hard work and hustle over time. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life..
I realized that the secret to making a million is making better investment. I always tell myself you don't need that new Car or that vacation in Paris just yet and that mindset helps me make more money invest: ng. For example last year I invested 70k in blue chip stocks and crypt0s (with the help of my advisor of course) and made about 380k, but guess what? I put it back and traded with her again and now I'm rounding up close to a million. Delayed gratification always pays off
Of course they’re masked up
<great post Very detailed and accurate video you posted mate love your content. It's funny how some people out there still haven't accepted that cryptocurrencies continue to change the world globally. Those who are against it have a hard time today. While from a trader's perspective I feel that we really need more experts in this field to educate newbies/investors on how the community works, BTC's price has been fluctuating lately which means the market is currently open and I Can't tell if it's going to be too bearish or too bullish, this uncertainty turns most traders off and forces investors to stay tuned. I would say that making a profit is completely wrong. It all depends on the pattern you are trading and also the source of your strategies. I started with 2 BTC and accumulated over 7.5 BTC in just 4 weeks with the right trading strategy given to me by an experienced trader. Mr. Houston Parker. The methods are top notch and profitable and can be easily contacted by 🆃🅴🅻🅴🅶🆁🅰🅼👉easy to reach👉🏻 [@Houstonparker}.✅
the pool guy is inspirational af
Mrs Sonia The crypto Trader is legit and her method works like magic I keep on earning every week with her new strategy
News flash, $1200 every other week isn't $89,000/ yr
First guy says as long as he makes 1,200 every 2 weeks hes good and projects 89,000-100,000 income??? What am i missing here with his math??
the pool cleaning guy is going places!
Me when the guy with the pool cleaning business was talking about how much he loved his wife and how it was her support that got him to where he is ….🥺😭🥺😭…best of luck to your family!
80k is the new 50k
He needs to invest in a dedicated pool van with graphics and contact information on it which is great self promotion for his business.
