Literally everyone believes what doctors and nurses do is ethical. Public defenders, absolutely. Nobody has an ethical problem with artists (i.e. entertainment) -- musicians, actors, writers. Being an educator is a highly ethical profession. Research can go either way; most would consider research on biological weapons unethical but research on vaccines or cures for disease or basic research quite ethical.<p>I don&#x27;t know who you are talking to but you&#x27;ve just listed a huge number of very ethical professions and said &quot;who considers any of these ethical?&quot;: the answer is literally everyone. Everyone considers at least one of those fields ethical.<p>Ethical doesn&#x27;t mean you sacrifice your life to help starving children in Africa. Ethical means you don&#x27;t do things that are evil. The surprising thing is that bright business students are now deciding finance doesn&#x27;t satisfy that criteria.<p>I mean if you want to pretend it&#x27;s all about some evolutionary psychology mate selection criteria that&#x27;s fine but the cause and effect work the other way. Nobody wants to mate with an unethical person; if they&#x27;re willing to commit unethical acts and screw over others for money how could you ever trust them with a family or not to cheat?
