I have many Ehtiopian and Eritrean clients who uber and while they work hard (drive 50 plus hours a week) they make decent money .. btw $800 to 1.4k a week (not taxed yet). They arent rich but theyre raising their kids in America and their kids will go on to do well in school and become 6 figure earners. From there, their family tree can really blossom.

If you work hard, this is the land of opportunity that some other countries dont offer.

I think the DMV area has more job opportunities for people vs someone living in rural Mississippi or Kentucky etc. If my Ethiopian clients lived in rural mid west .. I dont think theyd be able to make money.

Very few like the African Americans I might add.
