It's realistically possible to earn between $15 and $25 per hour as a courier. Whether that's enough to live off of depends on your needs and financial situation. However, you should be aware the demand for deliveries and the supply of couriers fluctuates regularly, which means your earnings can be inconsistent. Additionally, while these jobs pay a solid per-hour rate for the work involved, there's limited upside — your earnings will not increase over time, and there's no opportunity for promotion. Finally, these jobs do not provide benefits.
