I don't think that I would mind 'working' as a criminal if the money was good
Oh wow, really? What would you do as a criminal?
I'll commit a crime and get paid for it.
You shouldn't become a criminal to make money. If you get caught then you will spend your life in jail.
I'm a young black and living in the ghetto. A job I can get easily will have a low salary. I have to be realistic about this.
Just because you are disadvantaged doesn't mean you have to follow the life of crime. Making money this way will only harm your future, especially if you're young. How about looking into trade schools, because physical labor jobs and crafts are in high demand!
