A lot of these serious professions are independent firms that are appointed by a client. I think this can create a different set of incentives compared to working directly as an employee. The firm will be less dependent on the clients success than a direct employee. Your income depends on the quality of your work rather than one single project. And you are more able to see bias in decision making when you are outside of the clients corporate culture. Of course this probably falls down with very large contracts.

You don't need to select for solutions for the long term. Not saying it's strictly that way, just different trade-offs.
