Ah yes, pizza delivery drivers are well known to be among the highest income earners. Up there with doctors, I believe.

Good time to remind everyone doctors are overpaid due to artificial scarcity, because the ADA lobbies Congress to artificially limit the number of residencies, to keep supply of doctors low

And I didn't say pizza drivers were rich, I said they make a good living. They do.

I made about $20/hr as a delivery driver, take-home, which put me above both what I made as a teacher (roughly 14/hr) and my next 2 jobs (e-learning developer, salesperson -16/18 respectively).
