Taxi driver is right now my 3rd career choice.
It seems a pretty easy job, but is the money in and around the minimum wage level?

My Dad says he knows someone in Edinburgh, who does very well, like 40k a year, say 30 after tax, but I dont believe him...

A bit personal for my first post, but hopefully I will get a rough idea!

Indeed it is.

Too many variables to give an accurate amount.

But if you work hard long unsociable hours you will earn what you need, and if you don't you wont. :wink:
