Switching careers

Hey BHW! So I just got out of prison, did 3 years for some burglary related crimes, but during my prison term I kept thinking how my chosen "professions" (risk vs reward) definitely didn't add up in a positive way for me.... but I kept and eye on the world from a far, seeing the potential I have now dedicated my time to learning all I can about this world.... let me be honest at times it all can be pretty confusing, so I'm hoping anybody out there who understands my struggle and my desire to not go into the streets to hustle up my money, but to go on my VPN and Tor and get a(small) slice of this big cash pie we got in our hands..... any advise, guidance, tools, apps ,WHATEVER WILL HELP ME !!! My hat is off to all of you who a seriously good at what you do... any advice is appreciated
