Forensics:
I am very into forensic science, as preamble. It drives me to watch crime on TV... I prefer true to fake, though I love me some Law and Order (and Crossing Jordan, but I think I like that show for the story and not the crime). I'm NOT into CSI. At all. But that's a side thing.
Anyway, the point... I've had a couple of classes here and there (highschool, really) and have kicked around a possible future where I -do- seek formal education on the subject and potentially, at some point, work. Now, I don't want to investigate crime-scenes and pursue criminals... I'd want to work in a lab, doing something heinously specific really, really well. All of the tiny sub-fields of forensic science are bafflingly fascinating and supremely awesome. Forensic document examination? Forensic geology? Sound analysis? Or fingerprints... or anthropology...
It's just... really interesting, that's all.
