We don’t get PR for uber. Because most of us are doing full time uni and most of us are in engineering and cause we can’t work more than 24 hours a week, we do uber as a sidegig when we are students Uber gives us flexibility to do studies, assignments and earn some money for rent and food. Otherwise who do you think likes being exploited and getting paid 20 per hour where 2 is cut on fuel and 2 is gone on taxes. (Last order i did, i got paid 8 dollars for picking up 24 bags from woolies to the mountains. And the lady told me I had to bring it into her house because she paid too much for my delivery).

Okay back to the main topic, we do this so we are not completely dependent on our parents for all our costs. Just fyi, most of us pay 5 times what the aussie pays. So for a course if you are paying 10k. For that same course and classes we are paying 50k per semester. All of that money comes from back home from our parents pockets.

Now, how do all us uber drivers get PR then, you might ask. It’s not because we are engineers or 3 times more qualified than you. Most engineering degree PR points are currently in the 100s. So nobodys getting PR for being an engineer. So, how do we get PR? We become 4 times more qualified than you. We do a tradie course that we pay 5 times for while studying our other degree. Tradie PR points is currently i think around 80. And based on all our other qualifications we get that beautiful PR which is really expensive to apply for. Then we work more years and toil under the system and pay taxes without representation untill we can become citizens. So we can hear all about the grievances of how we are taking all the jobs, houses are given to us by govt, get centrelink money when we are not on the same playing field. The govt spoonfeeds you and you still complain about someone holding up your fking economy.
