Nowadays there really isn't any excuse for someone to not have a job unless you live in a very rural area without access to places where the gig economy is thriving. Although, even if you don't have access to popular areas where the gig economy is thriving you still could go out and mow lawns or something like that.
If you own a car that is model year within the last 8 years with 4 doors, have a clean driving record, have the ability to pass a background check, and are familiar with your area driving wise then I recommend you sign up to be a Lyft or Uber driver. On the slow hours you can make $10 to $15 an hour and the busy times making up to $30 an hour. With an average income of $25 to $30 hourly when you factor bonuses, after taxes and expenses such as gas maintenance you're looking at a more realistic hourly income of $18 primarily if you're working 40 to 50 hours a week. This type of work is perfect for someone who may have basic or no education, and also comes in clutch for someone who has a lot of education but have had a hard time finding well-paying work. I personally drive for Lyft, when I put the time in I usually make over a thousand dollars a week - which is pretty great considering I do not have a college degree. It's not the most easiest type of work in the world considering you have to deal with people, especially at times when they may have been drinking and are a little frustrating to deal with. For the most part I've had no issues with riders, out of over 2,000 rides driven I have only had two experiences that were frustrating enough to report the rider for misconduct.
Another frustrating part about driving for a Rideshare company like Lyft or Uber is that they do not offer much training you essentially have to figure it out on your own, although if you have access to YouTube like almost everyone does you could look up videos on other people's experience and they can shed light on what it's like to work driving for a Rideshare company. If you want to learn more you can contact me through the comment section and we can talk about my experience and I can help guide you through the sign up process.
I look forward to hearing from you have a great day.
