Any jobs, which require low level of learning skills, would mean low pay. Uber is no exception. At least, get an electrician or AC license, would get a better pay job, if not able to get a 4 years degree.
有可能的話不要做餐館，我以前做過做鐵板燒的，韓國和日本人開的黑店，總是給中國人同事欺負，我做了2 個星期不做了，回去拿出糧支票，老闆娘總說 It's in the mail, 說已經寄了給我，等了一個月沒有支票，老闆娘說已經寄出了，我說沒有收到，變成一了了之，後來我寫信去本州的勞工處投訴，勞工處派了專人去餐館調查，韓國老闆娘打電話叫我馬上來拿支票，說我為什麼不好談，要去投訴勞工處以後入了黑名單，當是勞工處的人問我滿意嗎？雖然支票扣了稅只有幾塊錢，這是原則的問題，有些新移民怕事是和英文不好，不希望以後有人會受到同樣的對待。 後來有一天我在街上遇上日本老闆認得我，還笑著的和我打招呼。
I was making $30k per annual as a waiter for 25 years between 1985 to 2000, and it was a waste of time. After switching to IT with some side income, I can make 7 times higher than I was making, with 5 x 8 schedule now, till my retirement age.
@user-bl5vi3gt7w retirement age in US is around 70 or higher now, companies usually would not be allowed to discriminate older people, unlike Asia. I am glad that, I quited my EE job in Hong Kong in 1996, when I did not make enough money, and went back to the US and back to work as a waiter still. I only started making good money, after I reached 60 years old, after investments.
Hi $400 a month plus about $1200 monthly tip, was ok for making a living for low income people 40 years ago. But working in Chinese restaurants, had no respect, and were called 'Chings' sometimes, and unable to get fair amount of tips, were forcing me to get my BSEE in State U of NY. Life was extremely hard for Chinese waiters working in those sweat shops, and the suffering burnt deep to my heart, to make me to endure and survive my college training in 1985, when I still was an illegal alient by then. As a friendly suggestion, strive in one's life to climb into middle class if possible, and extend the retirement age to 66, which cannot be done for restaurant jobs also. My two cents.
You don’t want take on any job not reporting payroll tax. Any thing happens to you is not covered by workman compensation insurance and you can’t collect unemployment and no health insurance. Also employers not paying your part of social security tax. You not getting credit when you retire! This type of employment is illegal for both employers and employees.
If you live in US and graduated from college, then, most likely, you only will type in English and not Chinese, especially, if you come from HongKong. Therefore, nothing strange about it. English is a language, much easier to type, if compared with Chinese.
@Annie He Italian dinners are the best tippers when I was working in NYC in waitering for many years. They usually overtipping to 35% or 40% usually, we liked them a lot, in the eighties and nineties.
