“panipuri wala near my society earns a 3-4 lakhs a month he’s just 6th passed he told me..now he has opened another stall in other place,” wrote a Twitter user. Another person mentioned, “It is not about earning money always. To earn extra few bucks he has to go through all the traffic and pollution everyday over sitting in an office or at home and attending meetings.”
One person wrote, “That’s fair. Driving a cab is not an easy job. If they drive safely and remain punctual, they get better ratings, recognition, and earning. Their ability of taking better on-the-spot decisions to avoid an accident is also remarkable comparing to any corporate employees.”
I was on a private bus last month from coimbatore to my hometown and that driver too was an engineer(CS) .Even He said me he earns about 55k a month(double of wt he used 2 earn from an IT company)by driving a bus..Engineering is a joke in our country, sadly https://t.co/msYME7gKJL— Aadithyan (@Aadithy43681073) August 6, 2023
Once I met a cab driver who was a practicing advocate in full uniform, he said it is difficult to sustain in the legal practice without any side income.I told him ki bhaiya aap sahi kar rahe hain bilkul. Aapko apna pariwar chalana hai, samaj ko impress nahin karna hai. https://t.co/8nKDWAJIKj— Varun Singh (@VarunSingh0923) August 6, 2023
