Summary
Smart people have been asking questions for quite a few centuries now, so many of the questions that haven’t overturn the conventional wisdom- then you may have some luck.
One of the conventional wisdom is “Drug dealers are rich”. As the author said this is wrong. If drug dealers make so much money, why they are still living with their mothers. That is, except for a few high rank drug dealers, they don’t make much money. They had no choice but to live with their mothers. The top 120 men in the Black Disciples gang represented just 2.2 percent of the full-fledged gang membership but took home well more than half the money.

Opinion
When I heard the word “Drug dealers”, crime, illegal economic activity, and wealth that kinds of things remind me. One of my favorite movies, American gangster, is about the life of drug mafia. In the movie the mafia traded huge amount of drug with china so he could earn a lot of money. At that time I didn’t care about drug foot soldiers whose salary is only $3.3 an hour. Actually these foot soldiers have faced many terrible job conditions such as a 1 in 4 chance of being killed. But strong incentives make them to take such a job.
