Uber is good for quick money only. There are so many things wrong with how they work that its not a viable option. Most who drive for them dont realize the tax ramification of Uber not withholding sales tax etc. Minimum number of trips requires to make decent money. Regulatory issues, like licensing and insurance. There is no way any Uber driver is making 150k. What you pay for your trip has nothing to do with what they actually get paid either, so dont be fooled.
