I have never once in my career felt like I was held back by not having a car. The only occasion where driving was more convenient was during rare business trips where and we'd simply get a rental car.
If you're a white collar worker in NYC or SF, you're more likely than not not to own a car, or if you do, to use it almost exclusively for personal reasons and not for work reasons.
- ghaff 8y agoNYC in particular is something of an outlier. In any case, this thread was about not having a drivers license, i.e. unable to rent a car. As a counterpoint, I've frequently had to drive to customers, job sites, etc. but then I mostly haven't lived or worked in a city.
- kenneth 8y agoI would say that suburban / rural America is more of the outlier. Most of the world's white collar workers work in transit-accessible cities, and the rest of the world is much less car-driven than the United States. But yes, I'm in agreement with you that the DL is an essential skill and that not having it can be limiting.
