One of my instructors used to teach at the University of Utah. She said a study was done on the homeless in Salt Lake City and a few of them ended up bringing in close to $60,000 a year begging. They knew who would give them money and who wouldn't. For example she said they wouldn't approach anyone blonde or in a business suit. They usually went for darker haired people and women with children. They wouldn't want to get a job because they'd most likely be making more on the street then at a job.

I have never given the beggars any money. I guess because I have bills to pay and I'm out their earning my wages. Why can't they go get a job flipping burgers at least.
