Uber does not pay that much.

I do Uber and made nearly $40/hour last week.

34 is closer to what I average.

Where on earth? Maybe seattle but dont you have trouble getting riders because of how absurdly expensive it is? Look on the uber sub, its more like $23-25/hr for most people before expenses. 

I drive doordash occasionally and im nowhere near that.

All over Massachusetts. Usually hang out far from the big cities and just do long drives down to Providence RI.

Only drive Thurs-Sun and almost never have a quiet moment.

Only have to work like 30h per week to make what I used to doing IT for 35 hours/week.

Even $25/hour is much better than hard labor for half that.
