I was thinking that I might try to become an Uber driver in my area. I know it's popular where I live so I'm assuming I could earn a lot of money from it. Does anyone know how much money I could make a week being an Uber driver in New York?
How much money can I make being an Uber driver?

The Guru Take
How much you can make as an Uber driver
This is a great question! Here at RideGuru we did a study at on how much drivers make in different services around the world. You can search for a fare between any two points and then in the results see which company (black cab or uber) pays their drivers more. Generally, Uber drivers make a higher percentage of the fare but because Uber’s rates are so much lower, they do not make as much as a cab driver who earns a smaller percentage but of a higher fare!

i had drivers who say they do it on the weekends and make pretty good cash for a second job. seems like a good gig for that, not sure about as a main source of income
well it depends because uber takes a lot of the money you make. after a long shift i always check my app and see i made less than i expected
And keep in mind, too, that you will need to be sharing your car with strangers. And if you're working on weekends, that could get messy.
