When I first read the OP I didn't think it would be difficult to chose 3, until I started reading other posters answers! So bear w/me because my first answer is rather broad.

1. Anyone who has a job that is on-call 24/7. That's very broad when you consider the jobs could range anywhere from a ER doctor, to a police officer to a snowplow driver.

2. Ministers

3. Teachers
