Work Abroad

The second worst thing that can happen to after getting caught is getting through safely. Rewarded with a few thousand bucks, the prospect of working for a living will never seem the same again. You’ll always have at the back of your mind the knowledge that you could a few months salary in the space of a few days if you chose to. With each run that you do the greater the odds mount up against you.

And the rule with money that comes fast is that it goes fast too. You didn’t have to work to get it and so you don’t appreciate how hard money can be to come by. You find yourself mixing with other drug dealers and you may just remember that a person can be known by the company they keep. Was moving contraband around the globe really your calling and vocation in life? Is that all you have to contribute to the world?

In the drug business people rip each other off left, right and centre and you’ll find yourself living in a world of suspicion, deceit and paranoia. Gradually you may come to take on those values yourself.

Even if you think you know and trust the people you’re dealing with, imagine what would happen if you were caught and offered the choice between 20 years in jail or fingering your accomplices. Can you really say that you’d go down and keep your mouth shut? Even if you’re a rare principled soul who would do that what are the odds that everyone else in the operation feels the same way?
