An open-ended community for asking and answering various questions! Permissive of asks, AMAs, and OOTLs (out-of-the-loop) alike.
In the absence of flairs, questions requesting more thought-out answers can be marked by putting [SERIOUS] in the title.

"Academic" suggests you might have an ongoing opportunity to audit classes. Throw some darts and see if anything appeals to you. I started out in computer science, burned out on that in a quarter, took a quarter off, switched to linguistics, and then that plan was dead in the water the following fall after walking into my college newsroom.
One field I never took a class in? Journalism.
Interesting. I qualify for some classes and I've been doing qualitative work (focus on interviews and focus groups) for a long time. Investigative Journalism, especially now, has always intrigued me.
