Had a friend who was, for whatever reason, in an ethics class where everyone else there was in business. Apparently the professor at one point told them outloud something to the effect of “oh my god, I have never seen a more unethical group of people”(heavily paraphrased, this was a decade ago).

Good and bad exist everywhere, but certain programs do certainly attract greater numbers of good or bad people than others. “How to generate shareholder wealth and make yourself rich” is going to attact a certain type of person more than other types.
