Freakonomics

so if crack dealing is the most dangerous job in America, and if the salary is only $ 3.30 an hour, why on earth would anyone take such a job?\

Well, for the same reason that a pretty Wisconsin farm girl moves to Hollywood. For the same reason that a hight-school quarterback wakes up at 5 a.m. to lift heavy weights……

“pretty Wisconsin farm girl moves to Hollywood” what would our desi counterparts move up… from the down town areas eying the big silver screen of bollywood .

in the yester years would would sound like folks trying their hard luck by making their way to Madras…..
