Graffiti: Role of Jobs in the Lives of Taggers
- Share via
I am a 17-year-old tagger. I attend Reid High School in Long Beach.
What Long Beach really needs are more programs to hire youths for jobs so that they could get off the streets. Another good reason is that it costs more money to remove graffiti people like me do than to hire them and pay them for actual work.
