Lots of politicians are lawyers too, and there are plenty of scams by people with lots of degrees and letters after their names.
In any skill or profession, it seems to have a lot to do with one’s parents and how a child is brought up. Having good role models and an ethical upbringing is what matters.
Gotta hope that the baby sitters, nannies and day care providers of today do a good job bringing up other people’s kids these days.
We are breeding a society that doesn’t want to see right from wrong. It’s what is easy and who can they scam for easy money.

It’s a lot easier to teach someone to be dishonest and the lure of easy money has its own temptation.

A tiny difference on a loan can cost the borrower a bunch. Pushing the rate just a quarter of a point on a $400K loan will cost the borrower about $800 a year or $24,000 over 30 years just so the loan originator could get a $3000 commission from the lender. It isn’t right.
My most favorite quote ever:
“It is hard to believe that a man is telling the truth when you know that you would lie if you were in his place.”
— Henry Mencken
