rrespective of the ethics involved, there can no doubt crime pays. In the 1980s, the President's Commission on Organized Crime estimated organized crime generates more than $50 billion in revenues each year – more than the U.S. iron, steel, copper and aluminum industries combined. When the legitimate businesses organized crime owns and runs are added in on top of these illegal rackets, it is clear mob-related business activities are genuine multi-billion-dollar operations. Regardless of the ethics of these various revenue streams, organized crime has not become a big business purely by accident. The men who run these operations don't generally have formal qualifications, only street smarts, ingenuity and tenacity. It's all too easy to assume they would not be able to function without the intimidation and ruthlessness factors inherent in organized crime, but perhaps that misses the point. Rather than suggesting a life in crime (which obviously would be stupid and doomed to fail), why not try and pick up on what mobsters learn in the school of hard knocks? They just may know something about surviving that would be applicable and useful elsewhere.
