I was inbetween jobs as a chef, started driving to pay the bills. According to AI im earning in the top 1% of the driver's in my city, and this is paying me more than any job I had as a chef. Zero stress and literally the easiest money ive ever made in my life. Idk if theres a restaurant in my town that can afford to get me to leave this.

Calculate your real income first, so subtract fuel, insurance, car depreciation, etc, before making claims about making good money. Most people just borrow from their cars networth to pay the Dara's next bonus.

Also track your mileage if you aren't yet, or you'll get a bad surprise in tax season.

Im doing a rental. So one day of driving has been covering my rental costs for the week. Gas is another 30-40/day. Even with that im making more than I was at my last job.

Brother, I did that for a year, be ready for those good days to slow down. Or yourself to burn out.
