Is it reasonable to ask for 6 weeks off?

I believe ASU is ok with letting me attend part time. Also the semesters are only 8 weeks. So I would most likely try to do 1-2 classes per semester. Hopefully that gets me on pace to do just under full time. So degree in about 3.5 years.

 

Amazing, congratulations. Hopefully I can too!

 

Unless I was making over $100,000 or was able to there’s no way I wouldn’t have enough time! I have more than enough time to do school right now. Like you said, just manage the clock. Everyone has time for anything and everything they make time for. Other people have excuses or think it’s dumb because they don’t want to do it themselves. lol thanks for the reply.

 

Thanks for the idea. That could potentially work for my situation. I would make significantly more money driving for Uber than I do at western, at least double. Not joking.

free ride to experience with a clean record. That’s so smart! That makes a lot of sense.

 

That’s awesome! Good for that guy. I never heard of swift having a program but I’ll definitely look into it.

 

It’s 2000 trips to qualify and begin
Monthly the requirements are to maintain a Gold rating which is equal to 100 points. Every delivery is 1 point. Lunch 11-2 is 3 points dinner is 5-9 6 points.

Realistically an average person could do 2 trips an hour with 3 happening often and 4 possible sometimes.

100 points can be attainted in 2 dinner shifts, plus possibly 1 lunch shift. It’s almost possible to hit 100 points in a single day, I’ve gotten over 90 before.


My current job I’m on pace to make less than $30,000 this year. Almost every check is under $500.

I would make significantly more just driving Uber. I regularly made over $800 a week driving 35-40 hour a a week on Uber eats.

I’m definitely too cheap to pay for my own degree or I would have done it already. I like the idea of Uber specifically Uber paying for it. Let them pay.

I don’t actually intend to use the degree, I just want it for self satisfaction. I’ve got some JJC credit I could transfer. Probably 60 or 70 but it’s been a while I’ll look at that once I hit 2,000 trips.

 

I’d take a Walmart job in a second and forget all about Uber.

your job sounds pretty nice too

 

If the market shifts and I can make money I’d forget the Uber. But I’m making less than minimum wage. I can barely feed myself. I’m not giving anything up by leaving this job. Maybe a few months experience but yeah how can I be expected to work for free for a year.

ASU is 100% online so no need to go home. As far as I know it’s also completely self paced and most classes don’t have traditional tests.

if I was making money I wouldn’t be worried about Uber but I’m not making any and I don’t see a single person suggesting anything except continuing to not make money for a year.

 

You’re new with no experience. We were all there at one time in our life and I doubt any of us made good money at our first driving job. You need to have a plan for the future. Can you live off what you make from Uber? What if a company will hire you but you have to go out with a trainer again and start over at the bottom? On paper you will have 3 months experience but off the last two months before applying for a job. Right now companies can afford to be choosy with their hiring. Just don’t get mad and quit your current job without a plan. And have a couple backup plans just in case.

 

Is there a time limit on the Uber offer?

Maybe work jb Hunt and see if that's bearable.
