Exactly. I make a habit of chatting up the Uber drivers I ride with, and I haven't heard many complaints. Far more typical is the guy who picked me up in Seattle yesterday after a great week at Kubecon. He's retired after 22 years of driving for UPS and loves to work the overnight shift when things are quiet (he was fetching me for a scheduled ride at 6 AM and arrived at 6 AM). The attractions for him are the flexibility and independence. He works when he wants and for as long as he wants, and is able to add a nice bit to his pension in the process.
