a lot of people with student visas in Canada choose to do it since they're limited to 20hr/week of work. You make a bit more money doing ~30 hours of Uber eats with 20 hours spent actually delivering food than working 20 hours at minimum wage.
- nicoburns 3y agoSurely if you're working for 30 hours then the comparison ought to be with 30 hours at minimum wage, no?
- aidenn0 3y agoNot if it's illegal for you to work 30 hours at minimum wage.
- ska 3y agoI think their point was that they have an artificial limit for the actual hours booked (20h), but a lot of delivery time is not-working (e.g. waiting on an order) but that doesn't count against the 20h. So if they are willing, they can spend 30h waiting+delivering with a lower hourly rate, but higher total $ than just working 20h at min wage.
- boring_twenties 3y agoNot quite: while the 10 hours spent waiting in between orders is not as good as free time, it is not as bad as working (in this case driving) time either. You can read a book, watch videos, browse the Internet, etc.
