[Star Trek] How does Klingon society look upon doctors or engineers or teachers or any other occupation that isn't combat related?

Almost all of the Klingons we see are from the upper castes of nobility and warriors, both of which are typically hereditary. Some, such as Martok, can rise to be accepted in the upper castes, but this is rare. This gives us an extremely distorted view of Klingon society.

For example, we also see Klingon lawyers, one of whom argues that his battlefield was the courtroom (DS9 *Rules of Engagement*). We must clearly also have scientists, engineers, famers, plumbers, and every other occupation necessary for a society to function. Some of these tasks are likely relegated to the subjugated species of the Empire--dilithium mining seems to be a good example of this--but since we don't see aliens integrated into Klingon society as laborers, nor the use of robots, we can assume that we see all sorts on Klingon worlds.
