You’re correct that ridesharing is not as popular in states like Arksanas. However, urban areas are much more lucrative than rural areas. Your job prospects as an Uber driver depend partially on your zip code and when you plan to work.
Ultimately, ridesharing can be a good side-hustle to earn income. But remember that whatever you earn as an Uber driver is not your take-home pay. You’re responsible for fueling up, keeping the vehicle clean, and paying taxes on your contractor income. At the end of the day, it might not be worth the cost especially while you’re focused on school.
