You don't live in Miami.

I could honestly never see myself moving to another state until perhaps I'm really really old (when my parents are dead). I actually want to be close to my immediate family.
I will have to in order to get a masters degree. It's not feasible at UK.

I don't think you need a CDL to be an Uber driver (you don't in Miami - but every city has their own Uber policies) but I understand the extra wear on your car being a concern, because it certainly does wear and tear on your car. I drive over 100 miles everyday and that adds up real fast.



What kind of driving-related jobs are you looking for?

Experienced first 7pm+ sunset in almost 5 years yesterday evening. I got the novelty, but not for daily/routine basis.

Well, I bought the car from my dad and he won't allow me to do Uber or anything else that involves earning money with it until it's completely paid off.

I was looking at being a driver for a car rental company. That also doesn't require a CDL.

An uber driver in Finland was recently fined and sentenced to lose all his earnings to the state, which was €12k. Lolz.

Sucks to be an uber driver here.

I'm thinking about quitting my job, getting a HGV license and becoming a trucker, because I'm bored.

Is there really strict rules to be an Uber driver in Finland?

I wouldn't think so. It's just a standard part-time thing.
