Shouldn't the comparison be between how people working in finance (vs. not) view the finance industry, and/or use an actual measure of immorality to see whether perception and reality differ? It seems pretty obvious that nursing, social services and education would have lower levels of perceived immorality.

And you would expect people in the finance industry to see " money making " as being their main motivation for being in the job - that is what they are employed for
. I would expect nurses main motivation being " helping the sick " - again what they are employed for , those in education " teaching people "
It is simply an absurd survey based on unspecified definitions and for example several hundred teachers a year are sacked for inappropriate contact with pupils - not many finance people are sacked for that " immorality " !!!
No surprise there then !!!???
