Service Sector

Service. Think: Lawyers, doctors, accountants, management consultants, massage therapists with no happy endings. They're people who work an hour, more or less, for a fee. They don't manufacture anything other than happiness or knowledge or paperwork. They just exist to service clients. And get paid. Lather, rinse, repeat. It's a huge industry, a massive sector, hence it being worthy of its own category.
