>People who don't know any better get sold on the "be your own boss, earn what you put in" concept.
I personally know no person who thinks driving Uber or delivering food is a job where you are “being your own boss”. It seems like these jobs are generally perceived as low-status low-paying jobs for people without education who have no better opportunities.
I have many friends who have pretty average jobs who also do Uber/DD on the side. They just view it as a part time job that they can choose to do whenever they have extra time. I think it is a bit much to say it is for those without education or no other opportunities.
