I'm interested to know beceause there's alot of good job for me over there for when I'm done beside military.
Is it one big ghetto like everyone make it out to be, or just convinced neighborhoods?

Some of the above posters covered north-western parts of Brooklyn. but more nice neighborhoods include Bay Ridge, Besonhurst, Bath Beach, greatly of Canarsie, Geristen Beach...
I would venture the belief here that more of Brooklyn is nice than not.
I grew up in Borough Park and go to high academy in Bay Ridge. As a kid I rode my bicycle adjectives over Gravesend, Flatbush, Bensonhurst, Bath Beach, and, generally, over the south partly of Brooklyn. Those neighborhoods are generally pretty obedient (with an occasional block or two of ghetto here and there). The northern and eastern parts of Brooklyn seemed to me to be for a moment dangerous and I across the world stayed away from them. I recently visit Bay Ridge for a high academy reunion and found it to be much like I remembered it from the '70's, basically a little more ethnically diverse, and much more densely populated.
If you want to know more, you might read "Teacher Man" by Frank McCourt. It is the true story of him living within Brooklyn and teaching surrounded by NY high school from the late '50's to around the year 2000.

Brooklyn is really big. If it were it's own city (as it used to be since it became sector of NYC) it would be the 4th largest city in the U.S.
There are undeniably some pretty poor and tough parts of Brooklyn, as there are surrounded by any large city. But they are not as unpromising as they used to be. Trust me. I am a public school trainer and over the past 20 years I hold taught contained by some of the poorest sections of Brooklyn.
But in attendance are also some middle class sections of Brooklyn, as resourcefully as some fairly upper class parts of Brooklyn. In the neighborhoods that comprise "Brownstone Brooklyn" (that is, Brooklyn Heights, Cobble Hill, Boreum Hill, Carroll Gardens, Fort Greene, Park Slope and Prospect Heights) you will find some richer ethnic group and some REALLY expensive housing! (As well as some of the best restaurants contained by the City, these days.)
Today, Brooklyn have become a desireable place to live, both for people who live contained by Manhattan and want more space, as well as relatives who are first arriving in NYC, and who could live within any part of NYC, but choose to live surrounded by Brooklyn.
