I just want to live without constant anxiety of losing your job

Can an honest and friendly man ever succeed in entrepreneurship, or does it require at least a bit of heartlessness?

My business is failing because I don't mark up to hell and back and because I don't partake in malicious business etiquette. My contemporaries will lie and cheat and they're making literally 50-75x my gross profit. I made 18,000$ last year, my once-friend who started in the same industry at the same time grossed just shy of 900,000$ the same year.

>BSc in education
>MSc in computational chemistry with additional certification in pharmacology
>4 years experience doing modeling for pharmaceutical companies, all of it unpaid
>2 years teaching experience, all of it unpaid

Why is it so hard to find a job? I have the qualifications but cannot land a teaching or pharmacology job for the life of me. My inheritance is running low and I don't know how I'm going to survive another year without doing entry-level jobs.
