Produktbeschreibung

" Careers in Crime: An Applicant's Guide" answers all the nagging questions about how the other half works, and actually ranks 50 real-world criminal occupations. Covering time-honored favorites like hit man, fence, and pimp, as well as emerging growth fields like spammer, identity thief, and pirate radio operator, "Careers in Crime" dishes the sinfully delicious inside scoop on compensation and rewards, stresses and hazards, enforcement and penalties, and work environment. An exotic romp through the criminal work world, as led by your high school guidance counselor. A host of charts, graphs, and other "killer" visuals deepen the deadpan effect of this CareerSpeak classic. An irresistibly humorous read for "Sopranos" and "Alias" fans, the mother lode for true crime buffs, and the ultimate gag gift for disheartened job seekers.

Autorenporträt

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.
