RE: Does teen drug dealing predict future business success?
Interesting theory. I guess ‘risk taking’ would also be something that may contribute to the success of any entrepreneur, Which people who deal drugs do on a daily basis. Another interesting point may be if they are taking drugs themselves, In which case they may just be trying to feed a habit, which isn’t going to get them anywhere, Not in business anyway.
I’d be interested to know what a few of the dealers from my youth are up to now. May have to do some facebook stalking :)
Thanks for the response. I hadn't considered that risk taking behaviour is likely also also a predictor of both dealing and success in business - an excellent addition to the theory!
You're right about there being a distinction between those who get in to dealing as a business, and those who are essentially just feeding a habit. I think the motto is "Don't get high on your own supply".
Let me know what you discover after your online stalking session!
