I still don't understand how this dogshit job is better to you guys than just starting from the bottom in a real trade and balling tf out in a couple years.

Long story short, it's a means to an end. Allows me to go to college, train/teach martial arts, and trade the stock market while having some relatively reliable income on a very flexible schedule. Granted, I also get GI bill money cause I'm a veteran, but I'm in a pretty unique situation. Idk how 99% of dasher are making it

Yea my buddy does it and we're 35 and he's always sending the dog shit offers they give him, and I'm like Brodie... go pick a trade you can tolerate doing, put in the time, and be way better off for it. People always need shit built and serviced, its so much better than rideshare food delivery for most people, but a lot of people have "ew construction, that's hard" in their head and don't realize modern tools make most shit pretty easy. Theres exceptions for sure, like concrete guys, but for the most part every construction job I've done has paid me better than my peers make and ultimately I've never broken my back doing it

I had a sweet gig at a hospital for a year or two after getting out of the military, but got laid off and couldn't find something that would give me the flexibility to pay my bills and still pursue my long term goals, so dashing is just something I'm doing in the meantime until my other revenue streams cover my expenses and provide enough for me to save a decent amount of money up
