When I was at university (mathematics; not so long ago) there was basically no ethics course in the curriculum[1] at all. Common career paths were:
- academia
- intelligence agencies
- teaching
- various “data science” or “AI” type things (could include eg pricing insurance or selling/targeting ads amongst other things)
- computer programming
- finance (investment banks, quant shops, etc)
[1] A few lecturers started trying to do a few lectures in ethics topics while I was a student but I think they weren’t really a proper part of the curriculum
