Sure, most of the happy Uber drivers (and there are many obviously if not the service wouldn't grow so much) are the ones you describe. The ones that are not so happy are the ones that rely on Uber to put food on the table, these people tend to lack skills to find better jobs (usually because they were born in underprivileged areas). Some of these people bet a bit too much on their Uber driving carrer at the start and now they're angry. Which is understable but it is also true that no one forced them to make that investment.
