I didn't pay a college and skip out on 4 years of full time work to compare my work life balance options to your delivery driver buddy. He's simply not at the table in the conversation. I don't care about his situation. That said, I do Postmates for fun on the side and it's awesome. Grinding out hours delivering stuff is honestly pretty chill. Engineering is at least 2x as mentally taxing, unless you're delivering in weird weather conditions. I can put in 4 hours of delivering without grabbing a meal prior and be ready for 4 more no problem. The work never comes home with you. You're never sitting there wondering "how do I be more effective?" or "how do I even start to solve this issue?". There's little to no politics and 80% or more of the gig is me riding a motorcycle around and popping a few wheelies.
