Uber's not really viable as a part-time job. In LA, I've driven 20 hours this week and grossed $12.25/hour. Plus a $65 35-ride bonus, it comes to about $16/hour. If you miss the ride bonuses (offered Mon-Fri morning, Fri-Sun), you can't make any money. If you drive enough, you should be able to earn $19-20 an hour, minus gas (e.g. $3/hour), car and insurance. Your net profits will be around $12 to 15/hour. As a side job, it's probably better to get a flexible 1-2 day shift at a restaurant.
