I was in a “troubled youth” cult for many years. “Unhelpful advise” is an understatement compared to the heaps of fear-driven doctrines and rituals we had to follow, lest be homeless. I could go on for days about this topic, but the biggest “unhelpful advice” was to cut all of my childhood friends from my life completely, on the basis of “my own good.” I am now a virtual stranger to them, and although I’ve somewhat made amends, nothing will ever make up for our lost years.

DoorDash driver. Pay is decent. Not labor intensive. No bosses, listen to lots of music. People who complain about this job baffle me. Been doing it for a year, top dasher almost every month. Just gotta be willing to take a shit order every now and again to keep your scores up.
