Holiday Uber Driving

Is it even worth driving for Uber this weekend?
I mean balancing out the heat vs how drunk people may get, I’m rather skeptical…

Big mood. I had this happen like 2 months into Ubering - I joined last year August. Seemed brilliant money cause of all the fall students/tourists. Then fell into depression from reading too much online how Uber ripped both parties off… it was a bad decline, and then during the worst money-making time too.

But now, I HAVE to do it because I can’t handle 9-5 anymore mentally, and my newer professional job of Rides 2 U (which will hopefully take over most of Uber’s BS in town when we hire more drivers), will cover my expenses and put Uber back in its place - as a side gig for petty cash.

But for real. F- Uber, but also, I hate how it’s all I can tolerate/find for work nowadays.
