I had no idea it was like this. I gotta start charging Birds.
Over the course of the next few hours, Brandon loops around his Santa Monica, California, neighborhood collecting as many scooters as possible. He brings back his bounty and, as his parents sleep, neatly sets them up to charge in batches overnight.
The next morning he wakes up early, eats breakfast, and drops them off in groups of three at designated Bird Nests, designated pickup areas for scooters, on his way to school. For performing this service, Bird pays Brandon, a contract worker, up to several hundred dollars a night. On one particularly successful night, Brandon brought home $600.

$600 in a night??? Maaan!!
Ya I read on a good night it is more like $100, I mean still pretty good.
I wish that was true, but around here, many/most of the birds only make $3-10 each to charge. Unless you have a lot of outlets to charge em', it's really not a very good opportunity.
Instead of charging, I think maintenance is a better job with bird. Tighten wheels, check to make sure everyhing works, and get paid $10 per "maintenance." (5 minutes worth of work)
are you a bird mechanic?
No. I decided to be a bird charger instead.
They make this sound like so much fun. I'm honestly really intrigued. If/when they come to my area I'm gonna do this.
Huh, I always wondered how they charged them all up again. Now I know.
What???!? normal people get paid to do this?? I thought the company came around and did it, but now that I think about it that would be dumb.
