As a TD, how much your income really depends on how hard working or discipline you are, on top of the hours you on the road... Mentality must also be totally different from being an employee...
For newcomers, I would also like to add, that there's no fixed formula or method of driving your taxi to enjoy better pax pickups and get guanranteed income. It all depends on individual character/ style , habits, like/ dislikes.
I feel each individuals TD need to try out differrent timings, shifts, methods of taking calls/ pax ( be it sweeping the floor, from MDT , from radio group , or limo counters). and as a "Kim Gu" OMO, I have the luxury of using deferent methods at different time of the day and day of the week. Of course at the expense of driving longer hrs on the road and full rental.
Having said all, the most important thing in life is happy, ask yourself truthfully, are you happy with what you are doing as a TD, if so, enjoy it. Cos, once you are happy of what you are doing, your mood improve, your health improve, your social networking improve, and your relationship improve. But if you are not happy with what you are doing, then try other thing, cos unlike other jobs, you can alway return to be a TD, it is the only profession that do not have a promotion nor a career path. So you can drop in anytime to be TD again.
Money is a must, but it is secondary to happy. Some peoples are very rich, but still not happy.
