I've conversed with numerous Sidecar drivers and they earn no more than $30/hr-- and that's before deducting expenses (gas, wear & tear, etc.). And most of them work part-time

Also, if an über driver makes $70k++ and a software engineer makes $100k++ base... that's kind of sad.

The Uber driver pays for his car's maintenance and fuel.

And the financing costs for the car to begin with, and in addition doesn't receive the health and fringe benefits of salaried employment.

I agree. That is sad. Hence why I ask for more data. I suspect it's not really painting the whole picture.
