Hello all. I'm currently thinking of a career change. I'm working in a factory at the moment and fancy going for taxi driving. I've obtained all the neccessary forms etc, and just looking around for a suitable car. The only thing i need to know is, as i'm currently earning 20k a year, does anyone know if this figure is achievable doing taxi driving? Any help will be great thanks. |

Hi mate,you'd need to find out what the earnngs are in your neck of the woods. I would think 20k is quite acheivable in most areas though, but it's quite a big outlay to start off with. It's no good if you like your weekends in the pub though! |

I dont mind doing the weekends they aren't a problem, at the moment i do 6-2, 2-10 and 10-6 and the job is repetitive and boring! Plus with taxi-ing my partner can get a job and i can work my hours around hers? |

Better still get your partner a license, and you take it easy. 
But in the taxi/PH trade you can earn as much or as less as you like. But do you want to work 24/7?

There's some pointers as regards wages in our FAQ, but it's impossible to quantify. http://taxi-driver.co.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2658 You could well top £20k, but that would probably mean working most Friday and Saturday nights. And if you think your factory job is 'repetitive and boring', wait until you've driven a taxi for a few years
