92 .A few questions .Are you presently working ?If you become self employed you lose a lot of benifits .Are you in a Council house where your rent is assessed on income ?Are your children healthy and you do not need a Medical card ? and more immediate have you taken the taxi drivers test and passed it ?Ok here are the sums Rent a Car or Van with insurance 250-300 a week Fuel you will need to do at least 60 hours to cover costs another 150on fuel if its is not rationed due to foreign issues . So lets say you are a decent driver who can find your way out and BACK from jobs .Monday to Thursdays working Nights in Dublin you might average 15 euro an hour if you are Lucky . So that covers your outlay for the week .Now you have Friday /Saturday and Sunday .To try make a wage .lets say 3x10 hour shifts @20 euro takings an hour that is 600 to add to the 450 in costs you already paid out .So tou have a good week your takings are 1050 less than an Electrician doing 37 hour week just for comparison .It sounds a lot but dont forget 450 of that is costs .Now you have 600 in your hand for six days work we assume you take one day off .Now when it comes to Tax on takinhs minus costs and Paye and Prsi and Social charge you might see 500 a week for a 70 hour working week .The sweet spot only comes for drivers who own their own cars for the two or three years when they have no car payments and they can add that 400 a month to their weekly wages .If this was such a good job more drivers would have University Degrees and consider it a career .In fact you do not see it as a career but more of a side hustle to fit in with your Domestic Bliss . That is the reality of this job and I left out the Comission you will have to pay Free Now or UBER for your work if you could get 1000 a week in earnings with fuck all knowledge of where to find work without sitting on ranks or using an App you could expect to pay at least another 100 out of your meger wage So the reality of working 70 hours a week to gain about 450 minus your surrendered dole payments means you might be better off by about 4 Euro an Hour .I gave you a piece of Serious advice when I said make Garden ornaments or Furniture go into some sort of craft where you can work from home and get cash in hand .If you have two young kids and you expect your Hen to go to work and the minute she gets in you then hand them over so you can go to work that wont last and you will spend days in Dolphin House fighting over custody and Maintainance .THATS THE TRUTH the REALITY this job is anty social suits cantankerous old cunts or lads that have mentally retired from lifes struggles .
