Check out the responses below:

“Try asking a roadside chaiwaala… He might be earning more than the cab driver,” shared a Twitter user. “Sounds a bit impossible to me. I mean it is sad if it is true,” added another. “Woah. Did he say a number? Looks like part time driver + full time engineer can be quite rewarding as well!” asked a third.

“To the people who think it is impossible, I met a cab driver who left his Ttch job because it wasn’t paying much,” shared a fourth. “It is not always about earning money. To earn an extra few bucks he has to go through all the traffic and pollution everyday by sitting in an office or at home and attending meetings,” wrote a fifth.
