Business outlook
Pros
The biggest pro has always been the flexibility. I had complete control over my schedule and could work whenever it suited me, whether that was early mornings, late nights, or just a few hours here and there. Being my own boss in that regard was a major benefit.
Cons
The primary con is the significant decline in pay over the years. When I started, the earnings were decent, but now it feels like a constant race to the bottom. Fares are lower, Uber's commission feels higher, and I have to work significantly more hours just to make what I used. The wear and tear on my vehicle for diminishing pay makes it a much tougher job than it once was.
