Professions aren't ethical or unethical. People are.

Help me with:

His campaign is saying there were so many no-shows because his supporters were afraid of the protestors.

Ok then. Which profession will allow an individual to be successful with the least requirement of violation of ethics?

On another discussion board, people are suggesting teaching, but I'm actually a little skeptical so I came here for a different perspective.

I think any profession can be exploited, if that's a person's intention.

Firefighters/EMTS. They are always expected to do their best and the right thing. There are rarely, if ever, ethical dilemmas in the work place. There aren’t any “shades of gray”. Your job is to save as many lives as possible.

I have never had the pleasure of using one but I'd say midwifery has to be one of the top 2 or 3 professions.

We have another hurricane coming this way.

Hmm I think someone who has medical education but is able to work outside of the system. I work in healthcare and am going to nursing school, so I notice a lot of very smart people having to constantly compromise their integrity to do things by the book. It may be necessary, but I envy people who have the knowledge and are able to work apart from it all. Even something like a physical trainer or private nutritionist. Best of all is any expert who teaches others I suppose.

I'm guessing that a good physical therapist makes very good $ too! 25 years ago, they we're making $75k right out of school!

I think every occupation (yes, including politicians) is by default, ethical.

It comes down to the individual- and it also comes to interpretation. The more eyes on you there are, the higher chance you'll do something that's deemed "unethical" to somebody.

Then people start to form assumptions, and just knowing you are in the occupation as somebody they know to be unethical, they assume you're unethical too. 🤷‍♂️

It's a harsh world, but I like to think people don't WANT to be unethical, they are trying their best to be the best they can be.

Yes but PTs have to spend a lot of money to get their education. Anyway, I always thought it was neat that I liked such a great percentage of physical therapists that I've met, it's like they are more practical and grounded than most people or something.

In my personal opinion? Animal rescue/health/welfare/research. I trust people on the basis of their ability to recognize non-human creatures as equal lives who matter just much as homo-sapiens.

Agree. Midwives are great people. I have four kids. Only with the last did I use a midwife. The difference was amazing and I wish I'd had a midwife for all of them!!
