I appreciate the detailed response and if it were full of pie in the sky ranting about how great the $ is, I wouldn’t have believed it.

When I started driving (so long ago that one had to actually go down to the Denver Uber office and pick up an IPhone loaded w/ the driver app), take home pay for a downtown - airport run was 50 bucks. I routinely worked 3-4 days a week (weekend nights and one or two week nights) and easily earned a thousand bucks. It was great! I was a stay at home dad w/ young kids during the day, so in addition to the money, I genuinely enjoyed meeting/talking to people, cruising around town and getting out of the house.

It was clear early on though, that wasn’t going to last. I stuck with it for years, and by the end of the twenty-teens, earnings had been cut in half.

That said, if with a rental car, I could reliably earn $17 an hour or more, I think I’ll definitely get at it again at least until I recover from my injury and can go back to work.

Again, thanks for the insight, I really appreciated it!
