[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 571216, member: 1233"] You would likely be SHOCKED at what those people who sit there with signs saying they are hungry end up getting. Back in the early 90's when I was in college in TX, some grad students in sociology that were friends of mine took a semester off of work to do this. It was for their dissertations on the effects of panhandling as a lifestyle and on society in general. They only did this from Aug through Dec and extrapolated out to a year's income they made over $40,000 EACH. They still went to classes that they had to, still did things with friends, only panhandled for forty hrs per week, and they were truly amazed at how much more they made in cash than when they were working as grad assistants or in other common jobs. They also got really nice food from people (often people went and bought meals just for them from nice restaurants in the area they panhandled), clothing, even toiletries were handed to them regularly.
