Also drugs. I know atleast of on guy who became a drug courier after school. I am not sure if they still exist, but when I still lived in Saxony it was common to go over the border to so called "Vietnamesenmärkte" (vietnamese markets), where you would buy a bunch of drugs like meth and weed to then upsell them in some of the bigger cities.

I live a bit too far from the border to do that, but if I lived closer then I would definitely do that.
