My friend, Carol, told me that a mutual friend is now a cab driver. She said that she was surprised and so was I. This guy was a manager in a financial firm; something bad must have happened since the last time we met up. This is not to say that being a cab driver is bad but he could have secured a more comfortable job. Perhaps he likes the challenge of something new. And we take out hats off to the girlfriend who is an air stewardess. She is extremely supportive of him.
According to Carol, this friend is an employed driver with a cab company and unlike most cab drivers, he receives a fixed pay check every month. The cab company has a very good Fleet Program in place that somehow clocks his mileage and reimburses him accordingly.
I don't really know how it works but I think that being employed full-time like this even though it is just as a cab driver is better than being a freelance cab driver where his income depends on the number of passengers he managed to get by the end of the day. That uncertainty could be extremely stressful. I know because I am a freelancer myself.
