how many blood banks are there near woodland hills and how long does it take the first time you go and other than i.d. what else do they require?
😟😟😟😟
Thanks for the info. Even tho the rideshare info may.not be true in all cases the info is appreciated nonetheless, no need to be a naysayer for the sake of having something to ridicule unnecessarily.

These are pretty good ideas! Don't leave out plasma donation either. You can make upwards of $60 per visit the first few weeks. You can only go 2x a week, but well worth it.
Busco trabajo de limpieza me podría colaborar
The rates above for Uber and Lyft hilariously incorrect. You forgot to factor in fuel, maintenance, wait-time, detailing/washing, vehicle coverage, or even rental payments each week. The promotions on both apps aren't that great, at least not as of now and you hype up tips but passengers rarely tip. If they do, again, it's not much. It's also not worth the disrespect that these passengers bring into your car: food that they drop and you have to clean and pay for, damage to your doors when people swing them open without a second thought, scrapping luggage against the trunk causing scratches from the plastic wheels, and sometimes (not to me) verbal abuse. The realistic pay rate is $7-$12/h, sometimes even lower. You're better off working at McDonald's. You'll also have to put aside 30%(each trip) for taxes if you plan on doing this full time(which isn't worth it).
Ride share earnings mentioned are rare and are far less than that amount once you start subtracting fuel and maintenance and so on. An uber eats delivery can be as low as $2.83. Now factor 8 to 15 minutes to arrive at the restaurant 5 to ten minutes of wait time and then on average 10 to 15 minutes for drop off. Now subtract the cost of fuel. This is very misleading information
I hate to say it but I don’t worry about the gas or maintenance or washing car etc. I bring a friend, girlfriend and use their car which gives us time to hang out and talk. I only do a few hours a day then we go eat. Boom $200 in 2 days! So you can have fun, take turns with vehicles and make it not grueling. $100 one day 5-6 hours $100 next days 5-6 hours and then hang out. Plus of course doing my other things.I personally am averaging between $17-$20 an hour give or take. Let’s try to encourage not discourage because I’m sure a lot of people have a lot of that already. Solutions not distractions 😁
