PDs have nothing to do with morality

Having a steady job is better moneywise, but it gets in the way of other things. And its boring.. feels like i'm stuck. I hate having to wait a month before i get paid. If i ever are to be motivated i need to be paid right after.

You could always do day labor, inossak. You'd work like an animal but you'd get paid at the end of the day if that's your criteria for job satisfaction.

Or maybe waiting to be paid periodically builds some character like patience, money management... though waiting a month IS a long time. I was paid monthly as a teacher and it was a long time between checks.

If you can stomach it, a decent mid-level job beats most other ways to grab sporadic income. Maybe boring isn't too high a price to pay for steady money and a lifestyle with more options?

Interesting discussion. I only held a job for a number of weeks at a time as of yet, but I do imagine if you have no occupation (be it as criminal, student or a regular job) that you'd be extremely bored too.

Because:

everyone around you is working
you don't have money to spend (drugs cost money, hookers cost money, nice clothes cost money, a car, money for travel, whatever)
you have a lot of time on your hands

What are you going to do? Posting on forums all day? Burglary isn't going to earn you a steady income, and the drug business is just like a regular business but it happens to be illegal. Might as well work a legal job.
