Yar, it's nonsensical to compare gig revenue with a salary of a normal worker. Contrast this to all sorts of ridiculous numbers we often read thrown up all across the media and you can see why nobody is rushing to quit their jobs to be a taxi driver.

I know several ex-colleagues and classmates who fell on hard times following retrenchment. Like me, these are people who are in their 50s. A few tried their hand at driving PHVs and/or cabs, but most gave up because they were earning a pittance. Thankfully, some found more success as real estate/insurance agents, MLM salespeople, private tutors or doing short term contract work.
