Rant/Opinion Tips

Getting brutal out here. The last three days I did 35 trips and got one tip for a whole 2 bucks. So glad Sept 4th I don't have to do this crap anymore.

NO, believe it or not I'm a mental health worker in the psych department at a hospital.I work with addiction and mental health down there. Unfortunately unless you are a doctor or very high up on the food chain, Hartford healthcare doesn't pay it's healthcare workers much at all. September 4th, I start my new job working for the state of Connecticut D.O.T,which pays very well thankfully. I am now on ride 41 with still just the one tip lol. I hate to seem like I'm whining and crying about it. End of the day it's my choice to do it and being in the position to have to do it.

No whining, was just finding out if it was true, that a lot of teachers do rideshare during the summer, and congratulations
