And yet again, the thread is about *LEAST* ethical orofessions.

That said, I also don't understand what that has to do with what individuals do on their resume. There's a thread for it if you want to discuss it.

That's your opinion, not a fact.

Least ethical professions are those jobs that have people doing egregious things. Hitmen, thieves, kidnappers, malevolent dictators, etc.

For all other professions, you will find the good with the bad. For example, a dentist provides a service that is supposed to help maintain your health. You will find good dentists who are trying to do exactly that. OTOH, you will find some dentists that will attempt to overcharge you or nitpick at things that aren't really wrong just to invoice you at a higher rate. But all that has more to do with the individual, not the profession.

I never said it wasn't.

That's why this is called a DISCUSSION forum, where we can DISCUSS our opinion on different DISCUSSION topics.

On the other hand, because you don't seem to like the subject being discussed, you're trying to shut it down with passive comments such as "Well everyone's unethical!!!"

I am mitigating against the typical "any profession on wall street/corporate america/HR is filled with unethical scumbags" whining that proliferates on this board by people who are unhappy with their lives.

If you disagree with another person, either ignore them or state your reason why you disagree.

Saying passive things like "Well everyone's unethical" just shows your lack of communication skills and you make it pretty obvious that you're just trying to derail the thread you don't like.

So you didn't bother to actually read what I posted, you attacked me personally, then ignored the actual content that I originality replied with?

Got it champ.
