EVERY SINGLE PERSON should do a thankless, low paying job at least once in their lives. If they did, there would be less rude customers and less stuck up managers/superiors, which would make every workplace a lot more bearable.

The most overachieving-underachieving Asian in America

I have a Masters degree and prior to finding a job in my field, I had to work at some minimum wage jobs. You are correct in your observations that people can be condescending. I like that you are not afraid to try new experiences.

You are one unique cat! I give you major props for doing this. Respect!

Prime example of being overqualified for a job. lol

The "talking down" incident seems like it's just a dumbass trying to brush off some authority to people below them so they can feel more empowered. All because they have a $3/hr extra in their hourly. I see this all the time. Why can't we all just be nice to one another, or learn how to better communicate.

It's so funny how curious you are. Had me smiling love your enthusiasm.

*PLEASE ADOPT ME - I will not dishonor family*

💡The ego is a beast. People talk down to other people because of their own self inflated ego. People perceive being talked down to because of their own self inflated ego. I have decided that someone talking down to me has nothing to do with me. 🤔

I have had various jobs in my lifetime. Some I enjoyed and some I didn’t enjoy it at all. I always looked at it like this, if it was a job I enjoyed that was great if it was a job I did not enjoy I thought of it as getting paid to learn. I always found there was something to learn in every job and in every situation. Because of that I know how to do many things. Perhaps the largest bonus is learning about human nature. Yes there is a hierarchy in the workplace. The dynamics of the workplace and of those in authority over you are very interesting. Sometimes people like to be a big fish in a little pond. I enjoyed this video very much. Thank you BTB.

I quit my office job and work from home since then. I don't have 'stability' anymore, but I feel happier. 😊

The funny thing is you probably have a higher education than the lady who accused you of “not following directions” Lol

That's freedom! Just doing things because you're interested in.

What some tend to forget is 6 figure salaries are very high stress and very hard to maintain high stress for long periods of time . sometimes not worth it.

I admire this experiment.

I read a bunch of books that highlighted these people working 2 jobs and have always wondered if I could "hang" if even for a short period. So on top of my 60 hour a week start up, took up a part time job at my local golf course. There were no jobs available immediately so I took to more creative means of acquiring a job. I said are there any volunteer positions available. As a perk, for 10 hours volunteered a week, you could get free off-peak golf rounds and a cart. Did this for a month and then I was asked my the head pro if I'd be interested in interviewing for a part-time job. I was asked about my previously education and I straight up said that I wanted to learn the process... The ins and out of golf and how to run a golf course. Did this part time job for about 9ish months on top of my normal gig and ultimately had to tell the golf pro I had to leave because it was starting to conflict with my actual job. Ultimately, I had to tell the golf pro that I had hired more employees and I needed to spend more time training them and helping them grow. You'll learn a whole lot from the people you meet, especially if you work at a place that attracts people of all ages. In school, out of school, working a 2nd job, retired, etc...

To nice to see someone that is college education and make a lot of money to see the other side of business hopefully you take away some good lessons from this and the people that bowl people that are below you I will appreciate it

Oh man ! You’ve got the gloves on, LOL. Dude , you’re attitude is freaking unreal. You really have a open mind , wish I could work with you a few days.

I did Uber as a driver for a few months, and got to see things from a drivers perspective. One unexpected consequence was that it restored my faith in humanity. I had hundreds of rides with people that were great, and could count the “bad” ones on one hand. I also got to experience weird glitches and problems in the service, and think of ways that could improve (or disrupt) ride sharing services. Very educational, overall!

LOL..... I used to work in factories before getting my engineering degree..... It helps me to understand that I should work as hard as possible in school so that I don't have to come back here again.

haha I love it. This is something that a lot of people miss out on. In order to learn you need put your self in these types of internship situations. I remember when I first started learning how to make money online I worked for free for an SEO company for about 4 months. I Did not earn anything but I LEARNED a ton. This is very cool. Great vid, wish you success in your future.

I️ love this so much, experiencing change in the work area of my life has really opened my eyes to a new world of knowledge and communications!

Again, I got a few chuckles out of this video. You’ve stated the truth in a nice P.C. way. Awesome that you have the ability to follow your curiosity

This is very interesting. I got an Engineering degree and straight out of college I got a well paying job, however I’ve been interested in working at Target just for fun during the weekends. Haha I don’t need the money but I’m just curious just like you.

Sounds like a great idea if you don't need the money. Good Luck at your new job!

Sometimes "feel free to ask us any questions" means "I'm hoping you don't have any questions" lol

You're a corporate spy.

More and more it has become the norm that employees are only given any information on a need-to-know basis; unfortunately, the result is having no awareness as to how one's role impacts the big picture... love seeing you in the blue-collar labor outfit!

Very interesting! I also wanted to try this for various reasons. I love this and I'll stay tuned.

I love that saying DON'T JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER this usually happens to me when I go to Costco from those sales man/women the only person that approaches me is a tv/cable guy I guess I looked like someone who watches tv all day never been approached by solar or water refinery guys they just assume I'm not home owner or something I don't feel bad about it in fact I love it they don't bother me but I always think if this is the way they do their business ITS a loss for them . I treat everybody regardless their back ground like they are the next president thanks for sharing your experience

Reminds me of the show "undercover boss"...

Thanks for this. It's the missing piece of a puzzle I've been trying to figure out.

I was laughing when you got talked down to, not at you, more like with you. Its the way others get treated on a daily basis. People get used to talking to others that way due to rank and negative perspective of others. It's human nature in a way. What an awesome experience you are having. I have a masters in social work and I did Lyft for 6 months part time and it really taught me a lot about customer service.

Fun fact, after sorting job you do now, you can apply for manager position or similar one. Effectively becoming the boss of people that looked down on you.

You’re such a humble and genuinely nice guy. There’s something about you that’s very likable. You should really think about vlogging or getting a little more personal (if you desire, of course) like daily life type of videos aside from your informative ones. I really think your viewers/subscribers would respond well to that and Increase your following. Keep up with the informative videos though, love the content!!

I never really thought about that, but yeah basically the second I started my engineering job, nobody talks down to me. Not even upper management or executives. Whereas when I was working part time jobs in college it was pretty common.

It's great you're doing this for the experience and knowledge of it all. It's really interesting how you said that they would talk down to you and everyone else there. It's very true what you say. It's mainly because they feel you are at some low intelligence level. And that's another reason why they do so much repetition with everything. They feel there will be some people who will not understand it the first or second time. Which is understandable and somewhat true. However, there's no need to talk down to anyone. But that's what happens in many "low paying" jobs. Love your videos. And love learning from them. Keep up the amazing work. Maybe someone at Amazon will recognize you from your KZfaq channel more sooner than later. I bet you that the "talking down" will cease after that.

Boy, I know what you mean! I have an MBA and wasn't able to get a good job right away and had to work in a warehouse. Mind blowing how people think in that setting. Hoarding information, so only they know how to do it and thinking that $13 an hour is enough to support a family. Crazy.

I worked for Amazons prime pantry. For being right out of highschool it's a decent paying job. I never was one who liked school. But seeing your videos makes me want to go to college and make somthing of myself

I worked at Amazon as a picker for a Christmas season (2 months). Trust me...it's not glamorous and I probably walked approximately 9 miles during the third shift. Hated it. They keep sending me emails to work again. Nope.

Robert Kiyosaki says that if you want to learn how to start and run a business, work at McDonald's. You are not stupid for working at Amazon

Yes, sad to say, but that "talking down" to people is the norm in those low paying jobs. The people who have the lead positions are mostly ignorant themselves. Watch your back bro!

Well done , my man. Good luck on your learning trek. Keep doing these things

You are learning a lot from your experiences and thanks for sharing. Some jobs do have great things about them.

I’m also in Sillicon Valley, I work as an accountant, I’ve been dreaming of working at McDonalds but thought that was impossible lol thanks for the video, now I can go after my part time dream job 😃

The beauty of having wealth and money is that it gives you the freedom to *choose* how you want to spend your time. If you want to spend it traveling the world, you can. If you want to spend it learning new things, you can also do that. It's also why laws that make it expensive to hire workers (especially at the lower pay amounts) are bad because you are losing out on the opportunity to learn new things. It's better to learn and do things this way than to drown in debt to get a degree you'll never end up using like so many people. I make content discussing this very concept frequently. Great video!

I love this concept! I look forward to hearing about the journey.

Yes! I love your channel and perspectives. I just quit a corporate job to substitute teach. Just made a video about it.

I have done similar choices and i regret nothing. New experiences and some variation in the daily life. Sounds interesting this amazon adventure.

Now that's some high curiosity! You should move to Stardew Valley next!

I think you're very smart for doing this. Keep us posted 😊

that's a pretty cool idea..working there like getting paid to see the behind the scenes of amazon. I actually thought this was going to be a video on amazon FBA lolz..

i totally get this, after years of software development and very little social interaction because i would sit 16 hours a day behind a screen. I realized if i was ever going to grow as a person i needed to do something else. I had a cash cow at the time that allowed me to basically walk away from computer related work and try new things. the pay did not matter because it was all just extra money. i started to try new things. so after selling cars, telemarketing, postal worker, taxi driver, food vendor, flight attendant, handy man, unloading the trailers at UPS (don't remember what they called it) and a few other odd jobs, i then ended up back doing computer work again as my cash cow finally died. Now i'm much more balanced about my work and in a much better place mentally.

Talking down is common = and often insulting.

Love it! I've had so many different jobs in my life and I look at them as great experiences.

Did Amazon actually pay you and do they know you’re gonna quit after a week or so?

this is true freedom. when you invest wisely you can have choices, take breaks and live well. start investing 28 dollars a day will be 10,000 in a year.

Stick it out at least thru holiday season..hahaha

Man, I just love your videos, so informative and your personality makes it also entertaining! So glad I stumbled upon your videos!

Question is how did you get this job? HR is always wary of someone taking a pay cut and going into a completely different field.

You seem like a good human being 👍🌎

Cool. Not crazy at all. This is good for your mind and health since you are learning new things and moving around.

Love how you are having a full experience of life and doing things the way you want! Subscribed!

Taking on new jobs is humbling it takes you out of your comfort zone. it is interesting to see the behind the scenes of how ordering online products gets to your door. I have done work at UPS for a few months manual labor is challenging I think the robots are coming for more of those jobs!

haha I really dig this move. Stay rad man :)

You are awesome

I love it! This is so random and out of the norm. I also believe in not following the beaten path...always pave your own route...in the process you may have to beat down some bushes. Lol.

I love how humble you are and genuinely curious you are. Totally subscribing. Thank you for not having that annoying ego or whatever you want to call it that most youtubers have... you talk person to person and not as if saying ‘look how great i am, look at all my achievements’. You’re a total hero 🙌🙏

This is great....I love it...undercover.....the talking down to is really interesting isn't it...they assume you lack a brain...lol....this is pricelss experience!

👍Have fun 🤪 This is a great experiment. 😁

This is such an interesting thing to do. I've always worked construction during the summer since I was a young teenager. I'm now in my last year of university and have always gone back because the pay was good for my age and I have worked my way up. It's funny that you mention being talked down too. I was talked down to as a young man at the company without much knowledge (I was about 15 when I started, 24 now). I was around rough characters all day long, in a stressful, physical environment. It teaches you something that school just can not do and I am forever grateful for the time I spent there. Some of those guys are now my bestfriends in life even though they are all much older than me. The contrast between going to a professional top ranked university and the construction job was so strange. I felt like I was two different people leading two different lives... Much like you are doing now.

Thank you for sharing this video with us!

I love this guy. Dude does whatever the fuck he wants. No fucks given. BTB4LIFE!!!!!

Being undercover with way too much knowledge is really fun. People think you are stupid, and you act stupid to fit in. Then they find out ur a damn genius and their minds get blown hahahahaha

The process sounds really interesting, thanks for sharing.

Great valuable information man!

Hahaa you remind me of an anime I watched called Golden Boy. Basically he is very very talented/smart and he dropped out of university...only after he sucessfully completed every course they offered 🤣 and he just goes travelling around on his bike applying to different jobs for a while to learn more

Just started at Amazon a weak ago for stortation as well for $12.50, i just need a job, im a sophmore in college trying to gain a little independence so my mother isn't paying for all of my textbooks and what not, I was hurting on my first day but i went with the same logic as you , its just exercising but the worst part is my commute to and fro because I work until 12:30am and sometimes 1:30am because of mandatory overtime I am hoping I'll be able to stick it through for a couple more months tho

Very interesting perspective! I enjoyed watching this and learning your experience. Sub'd.

lol this is really funny I'm looking forward to rest of the videos

Did you include all of your educational credentials and past employment history when applying? If you did, was it brought up at any point?

Great experiment! As a cubicle dweller we often lose sight of the fact our efforts are actually productive given the chain is so long to reach an end consumer. I often miss the teenage years where I worked in service jobs (restaurants etc.) where it was clearer your efforts paid off immediately. With a wife, kids, mortgage etc. I cannot do this experiment myself but would love to participate. I am sure your engineering background will have you relay to your superiors various ways to improve the sorting process. Let us know how it works out!

But seriously, this is AMAZING. I love your mentality, it's brilliant. I'm a developer too, but I think I'm gonna look to try this method myself!

I'm an engineer as well and totally understand how you view this as fun/stimulating. I think you struggled a bit to relay exactly why it is, but I don't think I can either. I signed up to deliver for postmates on my motorcycle and had a blast doing things like learning new restaurants, learning the streets, adapting my motorcycle kit to the task, calculating my returns, and learning little optimizations. I ended up with about $25/hr and a 2% fuel overhead.

I see a book deal in your future.. "That Time I Slummed it and the Lessons I Learned.."

Interesting social experiment! I'm curious too what goes on with sorting facility.

congrats on over 100K subs. Been watching your channel for a long time. A lot of great advice

I've never heard of you before, this is your first video I've seen, now I am a follower with alerts activated :)

For you having 5 hour repletion during a training was waste of time. You need to realize that for most people working there repetition is what they do. Some of them continue to repeat the processes you have learned on that training for years to come (if they do not lose that job because of technological advantages. I guess I would go crazy with that much repetition. Even as programmer I do not like solving same problem twice, I do not know what I would to if I need to reaper same process for long time. I get that this is reason which is bringing people closer to alcoholism and drugs. Repeating every they same thing and being un-respected.

The things ive learned so far in my current amazon sort center: 1- how to use a pallet jack 2- how to stack a pallet 3- how to entertain myself on the line 4- how to avoid people you dont like during shift xD Also, i once walked 8+ miles in one 4hr shift yay....

This was very interesting... love your perspective on trying a new different job.

Great video!

B.T.B., these experiences will be fantastic for you, I swear you're awesome. But honestly, the MOST stimulation you will receive from this is the physical exertion of the job and a nice "workout". You will find that these small-minded people and these menial routine jobs will BORE you... there will be little mental stimulation from the people in these environments and it could possibly depress you, until you quit and move on to the next gig. I think you're AMAZING for what you're doing, by challenging yourself and operating in a totally different construct. But take it from one that has had more jobs than the avg. American: these J-O-Bs will deflate you- not because of the job description or the company per se- but because, without these people knowing your financial background; education level and skill set, they will attempt to belittle you AND show you how very much beneath you they truly are. In this video, it sounds as if this is that part of the workplace that you've not been exposed to- the kind where formal education isn't a requirement for the job. As you said, this will be an eye opening experience and I hope you enjoy it all. Your sanguine-like nature will turn it into lessons learned all time, rather than obstacles. The absolute BEAUTY in your situation is that as soon as it irks you, you can walk out of that place and never return. Many people are enslaved to these places, as financial independence is not the position they are in, or may ever know. God Bless you B.T.B.!

Hey are you sure making this video doesn´t violate your NDA?

This is so exciting to watch! Really enjoyed this video in particular.

This is pretty cool honestly! Im 23 young and im making 6 figures myself but I lowkey hate my job but I love the industry I'm inn, and Im moving down myself to a minimum wage job just to learn the insides of a different business and management. Im glad Im not the only one thats downgrading and piecing a puzzle up to maybe build up an empire

I enjoyed this video

Now you know what poor people do.

Love your perspective on things man!

I got really good exercise at my first job, great experiences too because i would get to go work outside in different mountains and learn about invasive plants and trees.
