What is the one occupation in which one should expect that those one works with will NOT talk back much?

And the literal brain starts a grocery list:
-undertaker, mortician, any number of professions working with the dead
-anyone associated with pre-natal care
-anyone who works with animals: vet, trainer, jockey, walker...
-anyone affiliated with the deaf/mute
-writers
-dentists, oral surgeons, etc.
-anesthesiologists, anesthetists

I could go on, but all of those assume that "those one works with" include some form of higher life. If we abandon that specious assumption, we get to start including things like farmers, auto mechanics, chair makers, chefs....

I probably should have emphasized "much." Your list does contain the answer I had in mind.
