Well, it's not for everyone and I can see how a rich person might feel that way. It's sort of like saying, "if I ever have to do any service job in life, I will kill myself first." It's not anywhere near the worst job in society and I do it because I enjoy it, (most of the time), had a lot of spare time on my hands and the extra couple grand a week helps out.
I drove a cab 100 years ago in college and really enjoyed it. I had thought about driving Uber part time for a while and finally just took the plunge after getting fully vaccinated against Covid. I had a lot of time on my hands, wasn't working for a while. I meet a lot of nice people from all over the country and world doing it here. Pretty flight attendants from Singapore and Quatar, people on vacation from everywhere, etc. It would not be as fun in other places as it is here.
Lastly, I need to feel good about what I do in order to sleep well at night. I've had plenty of opportunities to invest in highly profitable businesses that are not kosher but I'd rather drive for Uber and work only when I want, thank you very much.
