    My cousin drives for Uber in Pittsburgh on nights and weekends for supplemental income. He's never had any issues with violent passengers, but has had some drunk assholes late at night. If that's something you're worried about, you could always avoid working at night.

    I know uber drivers that have told me about their encounters with drunk assholes which is why I'll mostly be doing day time runs

    I think the students and demand drive the rates up though. Otherwise it might not be worth your gas and time

    Might be an opportunity to get a few chicks phone numbers....although if you are like me you'll only got morbidly obese guys named Bart who need a ride to the hospital for a stress test.

    I have a girlfriend and know way too many people in town to get away with that even if I wanted to. But yeah, with my luck, I'll probably be picking up Bart on multiple occasions

    Haha thanks I appreciate the effort. I'm most likely going to give it a try once finals are done. Not sure how insurance works but if I have to get separate insurance, then I won't be doing it

    It's a daily struggle of questioning your life choices and wondering if shooting particles at half the speed of light is useful to me in terms of getting a decent job....hopefully yes.

    Check out job opportunities before majoring in Physics. Have a friend who graduated last year with a masters in Physics, and still unemployed. US Govt has severely cut defense jobs.
