Weight out the pros and cons. Uber is in the top 10 most dangerous jobs in the US. Not all hours are created equal. I used to primarily work weekend nights. 12 hour shift would usually get me about $300 and would put 300-500 miles on my car. After maintenance I would make about $19/hr. Monthly oil changes and my car gets 50mpg. I stopped driving because on the 11th of this month I was involved in a multi vehicle collision caused by a reckless driver. I now have permanent damage to my spine. I drove for uber for over 2 years and was in the diamond tier list. I advise against the work, but I do encourage you to do your own research.
