So, if they still can be poor through working, doesn't that mean then that it's not really a choice?

No, they have the choice not to sell drugs, join a gang, shoot people, commit crimes etc. Most people dont start out with good jobs, it takes time to advance. Putting in the work will generally net you at least a middle class life depending on your other choices. 

Commit crimes is pretty broad. Some people resort to theft because they're desperate. Others join certain gangs to have at least some sort of protection. They also shoot each other because poverty and desperation breeds mistrust.
