Results for Careers in Crime Quiz

If you ended up with:

1. Don't quit your day job. A criminal occupation is not for you. Maybe you should consider being an accountant, a real estate agent, or a grocery store clerk. Those are relatively safe (and boring) environments on the straight and narrow.
2. The hazards associated with a felony-ridden life make you too anxious. Pick an occupation with few risks: try being a drug counterfeiter, cigarette smuggler, or baby broker to keep your blood pressure at a reasonable level.
3. Don't want to end up in the clink for the rest of your life? Maybe you should avoid careers that impart severe sentencing if you are caught. You would be best suited for a job as an organ broker, rustler, paperhanger, or art thief.
4. Money makes your world go 'round, and you are willing to risk a lot for a little extra cash. These highly lucrative vocations will help fill your wallet: identity thief, fence, snitch, money launderer.
5. Hate living by someone else's rules or timetable? Make your own hours or even work from home with these unlawful professions: telemarketing scammer, art forger, counterfeiter, or blackmailer.
