I'm turning 25 this year. Dropped out at 16, obtained a GED at 16, went into community college, was going to graduate at 18, I stopped going, majors didn't interest me and I realized having an associates is pretty meaningless.
I'm having somewhat of a quarter life crisis. I know, it sounds silly but it's real to me and seeing my girlfriend succeed where as I am failing to get a job that is worth a shit is proving to be too much of a challenge. So, I have two questions for you.
1.) I am going to university. I know people these days are pretty against it and I see why, it's a fair turn. However, I am looking at majoring in marketing. I love breaking down everything behind a good sales pitch. Nothing brightens me up more than a good TV commercial, so long as it isn't played 30 times in 20 minutes. In essence, is marketing a good avenue? Or business in general? I'd like to hear some personal insights.
2.) Is Uber a good "job" to have? I looked up what folks are making in my city of Atlanta and if you treat it as a 9-5 job and learn the hot spots of the city, it can turn into a decent 40k a year gig. Which FAR exceeds anything I am looking at making right now of which is 9/hr, at 20 hours a week.
Ideas?

Uber isn't really a Job; it's a way of extracting value from a car you own, at the cost of spending time.

Get a fuel efficient car or you get fucked by the gas.
Ryder Foster
also reliable, you don't want a hybrid
take after the taxi drivers of taipei and buy a toyota camry

Fair, luckily it has a good 6-7 years left in it before I'd like to replace it anyway.
Takes 20 to fill, takes a few days to expend the full tank.
Got that too.

Don't think of uber as a job
Think of it as borrowing money against your car

1) University is a waste of time. Start working in your field and part time school if you desire it. School isn't a full time thing unless you are a faggot that cant handle more than a part time job. Marketing is rather bullshit but if you like it, great. enjoy.
2) $40k/year before expenses/taxes? Thats shit. Even if it's after... you think you are excited to drive around with drunk bitches and nigros fucking your car up? You excited for your "co-workers" to be foreigners who drive taxi because they don't speak enough English to get a real job?
Uber is a ponzi scheme ready to collapse as soon as the investment musical chairs stops. It's a flawed premise and it is using your assets to "pay" you at an abnormally low rate.
Final answer: Trick.
>Fair, luckily it has a good 6-7 years left in it before I'd like to replace it anyway.
Not 6-7 years if you drive it for a living.
>Takes 20 to fill, takes a few days to expend the full tank.
bullllll shit. Your car got half the tank size of a prius? done lie about your numbers nigga.

My Firebird takes $35 to fill up in Cali...

You fucking do want a hybird, TAX, Insurance, fuel costs all will go down and in the taxi game thats a big deal. That and, no one on my fleet has reliability issues, theres more choice than just a Prius, even staying at toyota. Were talking saving an extra days work every week in savings. Thats a lot.

Uber isn't going to pay you forever. It will replace you with driverless cars the second that's legal.
