    Other options:

    2. Work as a corporate ethicist, repeatedly telling the corporation what they are doing is unethical, only for them to ignore you

    3. Work on a Hospital’s ‘death panel’, deciding which patient gets denied treatment

    4. Homeless drunk

    Research approval boards have them. A lot of hospitals employ them too. I know, I’m always a bit surprised when I see a vacancy for an ethicist.

    Sadly, knowing ethics doesn’t mean practicing ethics. There is tremendous demand for ethicists as spin doctors. They are also popular political analysts where they point out the other party’s sins.

    First understand the difference between morals and ethics; ethics are a personal choice not a public one. Most seem to confuse them: if someone spends all their money on drugs and sex they are still perfectly ethical so long as they subscribe to hedonism, and there isn’t anything wrong with that.

    What the heck is an “ethicist”? Are those the people who don’t believe in God? ..or maybe that’s anarchist.

    Actually, he could have stopped at making a living teaching. At least as it applied during my classroom years decades back. But, with both of us working[she in an office job], we survived and can look back and be happy we are no longer on the treadmills.

    Well, there are places an ethicist can make a living other than academia, but they’re few and far between. For instance, hospitals (or, these days, hospital networks) have one or two to determine policy and consult on difficult cases. They’ll work as part of a team also consisting of doctors and lawyers and administrators. I would not be surprised if the work is rather soul crushing, since you’re caught between ethics, law, and the almighty dollar.

    Everybody has ethics. Their ethics may not match mine—or yours—but even so, their ethics are still ethics. If you don’t think so, please look up “ethics” in a dictionary. Quick link to one: merriam-webster.com.

    You can make a good living scamming corporations by offering ethics training to their employees and skipping management and the executive suites entirely. I went through three variations of ethics classes during a 35 year career. Never saw a manager even look in the door. Did see a bunch arrested for criminal activity that was supposed to be unethical according to those classes.

    1) Write a book on the lack of modern ethics. 2) Become a business ethics pundit on TV. 3) Tutor business majors to fake ethics for their MBA.
