In some sense that's a tautology. Everything that anybody is doing is because they've made the decision that that is the best thing for them at that time given their current circumstances. Outside of that I wouldn't label it this way. Driving Uber is not the only option in America.

For many people though, it may be one of the few options that pays as well (even after depreciation) and has the flexibility that many people that are juggling multiple jobs and children.

Because remember that most jobs require you to show up daily at your own expense during off-the-clock time causing vehicle depreciation all the same.

And that is a difficult reality.
