Professional Stereotypes?

Question

Hi everyone:

I am taking a survey and would like to see what kinds of stereotypes are out there for people found in various professions. Please write for each occupation on the list, what stereotype comes to your mind for the kinds of people who work in that occupation (negative or positive). For instance: Computer programmers - geeks

This is all just for fun! Of course not all members of a group all fit a stereotype, but just write what comes to your mind for each.
