I'm in a heavily regulated profession, Law.
There are laws that control who can apply for a license, laws that control who can be granted a license, and a variety of laws concerning conduct in the practice.
There are laws concerning how I handle client funds, from the way the account is set up to it being a violation of the rules to ever bounce a check, to having to keep records seven years after final disbursement of all funds of an individual client.
There are laws regarding who I can talk to, specifically I cannot talk to another lawyer's client about their case under any circumstances except in court or in a deposition. I cannot deliberately withhold information, I cannot help a client commit a future crime, and must reveal their intent to commit one in the future.
There are laws regarding how I may advertise. Use of the word "specialist" is strictly forbidden, unless my state recognizes an area for such designation, and I have that designation. I can't make unqualified claims, such as "knowledgeable", "experienced", or "successful". I have to stick with quantifiable facts.
When appearing in court, a judge can reprimand me if my client is dressed in a way the judge feels is inappropriate or disrespectful.
I suspect that Law is the most regulated and controlled profession in the United States, and probably the world. Everything I do all day long is regulated.

Everything you do is governed by a law.
The property you live on is governed by zoning laws, and if you want to improve your property, you must comply with building codes.
When you go to work, you may work in a profession that requires a license or permit. Even if you don't, you are governed by tax laws.
When you go out to eat, the law dictates what you can drink (no alcohol unless the restaurant has a permit, and no alcohol unless you are 21). In some cities, laws govern what you can eat (no trans-fat, no foie gras).
Laws are everywhere. A better question would be, what can you do that is NOT governed by a law?
