The Best & Worst Types of Jobs....In 1 Simple Chart!

Discussion of the 4 quadrants of job classification based on enjoyment and compensation. Career test that helps me decide if the work I am doing is a good fit for me.

[@skydiver6711]

I'm sorry that you are losing subscribers, I don't understand it. You and your precious wife are a joy to watch and to listen to. Very, very, very entertaining. Don't overwork yourself and just enjoy what you do and we will enjoy it with you.

Don’t over work yourself???? Neither one has a real job….what are you talking about…

[@hobbyvolts7770]

​@@rogerthat.9105 Actually, creating content on KZbin is considered a real job. Maybe you should try it then you will see how much time and effort it takes to create and publish content. Do you consider working a 9-to-5 in an office for a large corporation a real job? What is the difference? Sorry, but I see none whatsoever.

[@yamahafan7330]

​@@rogerthat.9105 maybe the countless hours that are put into making and editing these videos.

I do understand it and I think it is obvious. He had a lot of subscribers who enjoyed his content. But they were dormant subscribers because he didn't post much. Now he is posting a lot and some of it is either questionable quality or not the type he used to post. So now the dormant subs don't want him to fill their subscription boxes. While I absolutely love the content of this channel, I don't like these daily videos. If he used this time to post once a week, it would be a different story. Ps. I also unsubbed with a heavy heart hoping the channel will go back to the edited videos but with more regular upload schedule.

Not gonna lie, I’ll miss the daily uploads. It was like a little treat to look forward to everyday! But I totally get it man. You do you.

Yeah daily videos are a bit much, the content is a bit lacking, though we still love you guys!!!

[@jacobcounty]

Jake, my names also Jake! 49 years old. I’ll be 50 next month. I’ve been working for a custom garage cabinets and closets company in Iowa for the last 20 years. I’m the installation manager and have been for a long time. That being said I still do most of the work because my hired help is a revolving door and it’s hard to get good people trained. Anyhow….. The last 5 years have been a complete nightmare. I feel so stuck to the pay that I don’t feel like I can leave. But at the same time the stress and anxiety from it has caused me to develop a health issue called vasovagal syncope. I just started fainting out of the blue. Oddly enough it only happens when I’m at work or driving home from work. I’ve totaled 2 vehicles and lost my license all in the last 3 years. Long story shortish is last week I put in my 2 week notice. I’m not even sure what’s next. But I sure would like some tips on your investments. And I also have 2 sheds full of motorcycles that need work….. hmmmmm? 0:30

[@SkidooPro1]

A video a day is too much and unsustainable. 1 or 2 higher quality videos a week would be the sweet spot. Also, I find it hard to believe that videos like this one (where they’re basically done in one take) take up most of your day. I enjoy watching you guys but I do feel like many of your recent videos were rushed and not well put together. Just some constructive criticism.

[@larryshaeffer5050]

I love the daily videos. All your videos. I’ve been a subscriber for years and will continue to be. Keep yourselves happy because that’s the main thing I love about your videos. Your relationship with camera girl and your light hearted never quit optimism. This channel and vice grip garage are my favorites. I think you guys need to get together on a project. Heck, I’d even pay to see that.

[@jimgriggs7193]

Oh lordy. I live in the bottom right. Like the bottom of the bottom, and only about 3/4 to the right. Daily videos are fine, or not. You're the one with the camera, I'll watch anyway. My first video was a home depot pressure washer. So it's been a while, and I've watched a lot of them since. There was even a period of months when I thought you were gone, done with the youtubes. Glad you're back, so daily or not, my sub is here.

[@bmarcstrail]

I found your channel during the KDX build. You liked that build. Your excitement was transparent. It was a passion project and it translated. Don't listen to me. I work in sales, and wish I could make KZbin videos... But I 2 have a KDX 200!

[@snomobila]

well i'm not going to lie, your daily videos will be missed! It was part of my daily routine in the morning with a cup of coffee. I enjoyed them alot

[@djlesinski7978]

I definitely enjoyed the daily videos but understand the commitment of them. As long as we get regular content( regardless of frequency) I'll be happy to follow the channel

[@jmaxim80]

Once a week with a bit longer video is the ticket. It keeps people wanting more till the next episode.

[@st200ol]

That needs a lot more effort though, doesn't make much money and pushes the chart into the negative enjoyment/pay quadrant. See around 8 minutes in this video.

[@jonnenne]

@@st200ol The most successful channels have this schedule. So I don't really trust their analysis. They have experience with 2: too rarely (less than once a month) and too often (daily). You don't know what you don't know but he doesn't realize it I think.

[@st200ol]

@@jonnenne A lot of those once a week release channels have editors, producers, in short a team. I suspect that isn't something that JG wants to take on.

[@baulplartcallmop1336]

I think your best videos over the years have been the perfect balance of useful mechanical knowledge for fixing something and life lessons thrown in while you're doing it. Lately, the videos have leaned more on the life lessons and cutting out the actual fixing things. Us Fellers (and fellerettes) aren't able to handle the truth (and life lessons) without being distracted by some tinkering and problem solving. If you're able to go back to striking that balance, your channel will grow. I agree with many others that less videos a week and focusing on the quality of the content will be the magic ticket. You'll leave us wanting more and excited to come back for your latest episode.

[@Zack-l9c1j]

You remind me of a school instructor I had in mechanical school. Keep it up! Been following you since old days

I hope that will keep you and the audience happy!👍🏻 Thanks Charlie

[@Parker-di7ef]

I’ve noticed you daily uploads, but I don’t have enough time in my week to catch up with all of them. I think the winning combo is a 10-15 minute long video once a week. When I see creators that follow that, I’m drawn to click on their content first because I know it will be a good video. Also, KZbin Shorts just increased to 3 minutes. I’ve found those to be my new favorite format, similar to classic KZbin.

[@adrianparsons6362]

I have bin watching your videos for many years and all ways look forward to see what your getting up to I do like the fixing video more but same time I like noing more about you I'm in the uk and it's a shame we are so far apart I cud learn so much from you thank you so much for taking the time to make the videos for us all to injury

I must be a weirdo. I enjoyed both formats even with how different they are. Even if I missed a week, due to being busy or whatnot I would search out and watch the episodes I missed. I also enjoyed the philosophical discussions. I suspect I am one of those weirdos who will watch what you do no matter how you do it. Look forward to the next one whenever that will be.

I've been subscribed for years and do enjoy your content. I've had a video that disappeared into the abyss, then 6 years later, it went viral for my channel and got half a million views in two months. I use a grocery store analogy for youtube. They either put it on the bottom shelf in some back isle or on an end cap by the front door or register. Most of my videos are on that bottom shelf.

Maybe somewhere between 30 and 60 minutes? You guys are great entertainment and I hope you don't give up on KZbin entirely. That would be the worst case scenario. Good luck!

[@storken756]

Hello from Sweden! I've been watching you for over 6 years. I think that making the viewer engaged in your projects is key. Your best videos has been the ones where it becomes a series, like the $200 Kawasaki, Husqvarna TE 250, The trashed yamaha (450?), and Honda CT90. Engaging the viewer is like engaging a customer. Having a series creates a personal experiance for us that makes us more interested in what is going on and what is going to happen next.

[@WickedCerberus]

I really liked this daily video thing - gave me something to look forward to. I did not skip a single video. I think this was too short of a time to start gaining subscribers and only those quit who don't even usually sit down and watch YT anyway.

[@skydiver6711]

I don't know why you don't just open a motorcycle repair business. Bike dealers won't work on old bikes and I hear from guys like me that love old bikes but I'm no mechanic. If I could find a guy like you here in Texas to work on an old bike, I would get another one.

[@Uninfluenceable]

because as soon as it becomes a business it stops being fun. I help my friends work on their bikes, and I'll always do it for free, mostly to teach them that it's not rocket science and that anyone can do it. But as soon as it becomes "hey, can you fix my bike", it stops being fun and just another chore to add on to your already ever-increasing schitlist..

Do what you enjoy and works for you. If you’re not enjoying it, it comes through in the video. That’s definitely not a plus for me the viewer. It like being back work, having to deal with people that don’t want to be there. Life is too short. I enjoy you n’ Camera Girl, your troubleshooting, your thought process, your humor, and your opinions. I always end up knowing more than before I watched, so I don’t feel my time was wasted. Very important, to me. Do one a week, give yourself and Camera Girl some breathing room. Thanks for all you do, I do appreciate it!✌️

You can even post the rate you want, you will be getting paid for two channels, will take sometime sure, but people been here for you, we will still be.

Its been a fun ride these last few weeks massive respect for not being afraid to try new things. I reckon one good substantial video a week could be a winner, works for alot of channels that feature similar content to yours however there's no channel like yours so hope you stick around in some capacity. Would have to pick KX100 for showcase over CBR600 having seen build series and 2 strokes are awesome! Would love to see both still. I put my job somewhere in LPHE so not the worst.

Just remember, 42 is the meaning of Life, the Universe and Everything! The next video will make everything clear. IMHO your core group of subscribers are here because of the two of you. As long as the videos are motor/cycle related that core will stay. Figure out what works best for YOU and let the chips fall where they may. I enjoy all different formats from short daily to hour+ weekly or less. It all comes down to the quality of the content for me. To me the subject matter is almost secondary to the personality, and you and Camera Girl have that in spades! I hope you find a format that allows you to keep making videos in whatever fashion works for you because I have always enjoyed you guys!

Recommend to start a 2nd channel of the vlogs and this type of content. Keep this channel with common frequency high quality uploads (weekly to one every two weeks).

In my opinion stop getting bogged down in repetitive monolog and philosophy. I would suggest watching your old videos and look at them from our eyes and see the clarity and focus that you presented and the witty comments and banter from Jennie.........that is "Jennie's Garage" to me.
