Yes, I've told him the same and he already realized before I told him. He happens to be an aspiring programmer in his early 20s but never seems to have the time to actually learn programming, chasing his tail to keep rent going and helping his partially employed mother.

I was luckier as I had plenty of time to read and do homework working at a very unbusy gas station in my youth. Driving Uber takes up too much of your attention and time, definitely making you sleepier and unhealthier, sitting all day and eating fast food on the road in an often stressful environment.
