I think that the purpose of ethics classes should not be to teach people how to be good but how to achieve integrity.

This strange breed of ethics classes are found in an obscure field called 'philosophy'.

Then why did most of the philosophers I met seem to have so little integrity? It’s like depressed psychologists, dentists with bad teeth, programmers using bad IDEs, or jobless sociologists. Don’t work with those.

It may be that the philosophers you meet are more interested in helping others find their own strong moral principles, rather than selling theirs. It might also be that sufficiently strong integrity looks like chaotic evil.

It is not the job of a philosopher to offer therapy. And serving one's ego usually leads to poor philosophy as well.

It is only the job of a philosopher to offer therapy. Selling ideologies is the purview of politicians, not philosophers.
