How much can you make driving Uber in Chicago?
I brought my car with me when I moved to Chicago for school so I’ve been thinking about driving for Uber. Would I make a lot of money doing that, or is it not worth it? I don’t need to fully support myself, but it would be nice to have some cash on hand.

While the average salary for [Uber drivers](https://getjerry.com/advice/how-to-work-for-a-rideshare-company-driving-for-lyft-or-uber-by-jacquelyn-childs) in Chicago is $39,102 per year, the amount of money that you’ll actually make is difficult to predict. Uber drivers operate based on need, so the area that you choose to drive, how often you pick up riders, and the kinds of tips you get will have a big impact on your nightly earnings.
As a side job, though, Uber is great! You can make your own hours, so working with your school schedule would be easy. If you’re just looking to make some money on the side, driving for Uber is a great way to bring in some extra cash.
