Careers in Crime An Applicant's Guide

Who makes more, a veteran jewel thief or an experienced money launderer? Which profession promises alluring perks like frequent acquittal of the chance at early parole? Michael Weinberg spoots those uptight career guides by offering an occupational overview of fifty real-world criminal professions.

While serving as original managing editor of Jobs Rated Almanac (the first book to systematically rank American careers), Michael Weinberg came up with the irrepressible idea for this dark, deeply informative parody. He has also served as a contributing editor for The Best and Worst of Everything and What Are the Odds? In addition he is a cofounder of Buzzbait, a leading interactive agency based in his hometown of Chicago.
