For what it's worth, I know a guy who "works" for Uber full time and loves it. He sets his own hours and really doesn't have a boss. He doesn't have much ambition in life besides playing rock and roll. It's a better job than cooking or working the door at clubs. Years of being a good door guy has made him extremely good at handling people in a gentle and pleasant manner, his skills transfered. He's keeps a clean vehicle and knows the town well. He knows when to shut up and how to shoot the breeze. He gets top marks from his "coustomers". It may not be the right job for everyone but it's the right job for some people. It's going to be the best job that some people can find. Uber may not give it's workers the best deal but it's better than many other things that you can do for a living.
