Does anyone here have a job where Ethics is prevalent in their workplace?

Not me, I'm just a clerk. However, my friend is a lawyer, and ethics play a big role in that. He had to take many classes on lawyer ethics at law school.

I think physicians and other people in the medical
profession have to study ethics as well. I found a
page listing the ethical standards a physician
should live by:

Im a trainee Auditor. Ethics plays a pretty big role here. i cant audit a company if i am related to anyone that works there and its looked upon very badly if i make any friends there and stuff like that.

Also Auditors pay the most proffesional indemnity insurance out of any other profession, so we need to be as ethical as possible so another Enron doesn't occur.

I guess ethics play a big part in a lot of jobs.

It should anyway.

Some jobs have to make up their own ethics, but what is the relationship between those ethics and universal morality?

I have worked in,and volunteered in the field of Social Work/mental health and disaster relief for more than 20 years.
Certainly ethics play a huge roll in each of these areas. I would be typing my way into next week if I were to list the many ways that ethics play a roll in my career.
I do believe that ethics have a place in every individuals line of work.
Perhaps if you were to narrow the question down to how ethics play a roll in our individual vocations, it would have more clarity.
