Are business/finance field cut throat?

<p>I am wondering if people in the business field “cut others’ throats.” I spoke to many people about business field and none of them say good things about business field. Here are some of the points they made:

  1. All they care is money. (One of my favorite teachers said that she has a friend that is in business field and he is very upset. He is not able to make any friend in the workplace and hates his coworkers.)
  2. Business are very cut throat. (My aunt said that her husband does not have a job. He has a MBA and was fired years ago. He is not able to get a job anymore because he is too old [he was fired in his 40s].)
  3. CPA test is very hard. (My friend told me that his father was not able to become an accountant because the CPA test was super hard.)
    etc.</p>

<p>So, for people that are in the field, what do you see? (Please tell the truth, don’t lie about it)</p>
