Maybe not. Firemen are measured differently. They are good firemen if they put out fires and rescue people which by definition is unselfish.
Bankers are judged by how much money they make for the bank, and paid accordingly. That forces them to be "creative", about separating people from their money, in order to stand out from their peers. The banker who feels his lot in life is to help the community, and it's residents, will find his bank gobbled up and himself unemployed.
