What are the fastest-growing (and highest-paying) jobs of 2025?

In this episode, we break down the fastest-growing jobs of 2025, and spoiler alert: many of them pay six figures. From renewable energy to healthcare and tech, these roles are in high demand and come with serious earning potential!

We go job by job through the latest data and salary insights, share real worker interviews, and even debate whether high-paid executives should be expected to work 24/7. Plus, we end with a juicy "Am I The A**hole" story about a wife saying nope to her husband quitting his job.
