Scientists? It's handy for writing out any large numbers...
psychologist do not usually use scientific notation
Mostly the sciences use scientific notation
Yes, physicists use scientific notation
Scientific notation is a way to write very large or very small numbers using exponents. For example 2000 is 2x103 . We can do the same thing with negative exponents and write very small numbers like 1/2000 which is 2x10-3 . So one real life use of exponents in in scientific notation.

Judges usually don't use scientific notation.
People in the sciences are the main professions that use scientific notation
Scientific notation is useful for very large or very small numbers. If you use such numbers in your "real world", then scientific notation will be very useful. This may be the case, for example, when you work in science or engineering. Otherwise, if you don't work in an area that uses such large or small numbers, you probably won't find much use for them.
Professions that do not use scientific notation are most anything outside the sciences.
For example if you have a large distance or number like 200,000,000,000 and it becomes tedious to write, just write 2x1011 and It makes numbers shorter and easier to use and write

Physicist, chemist, biologists, and doctors all use scientific notation.
