@aprilsimnel are you serious about the corner thing, and cousin? Thats being a hooker but on their part!
Most cabby’s in the big city’s are alot of times immigrants, and they still do work for a really small amount of cash, wouldn’t you rather earn ten times the amount you earn on the street? I would, and if I’m new in America I would probably want to learn, I can’t even imagine how immigrants Feel/felt when coming, of course Scared and Happy.. but how about confused, I am being really wordy: what I’m saying anyways is I would spend 3 probably even more years learning stuff for a job, and this could include English, Driving, Hand signals, math, Reading and American maps because then I would have an easy job that I have experience on. Talking to my passengers, getting the right amount of money not getting ripped off, Hand signals for the Def.
Now I know I said alot, But read it if you hadn’t!
