Data Analysis
I read too much, and therefore my current obsession has changed again.

Now I'm experimenting with Data Analysis, Statistics, and other forms of data tracking. I'm currently performing a sort of statistical analysis against Gaia, giving statistics of its userbase, like most used words and favorite color and shit like that.

Anyway, what are you guys up to?

Reading your post. Touching myself.

Data Analytics is actually my major. Let me know if you need any help (though admittedly I'm still learning).

I was going to say this originally actually since I remember you mentioning this some time ago. You decided to take up on this after you got "bored" with web development I believe.

I was also going to pass along a few sentiments myself. Then I decided not to take the topic seriously since Flare is constantly shifting through things he wants to learn (and frankly he isn't going to learn much with that approach).

Well I would love to stick to one topic, but unfortunately there's so many interesting things out in the world. If I could, I think I would spend the rest of my life at college learning haha. But in all seriousness, I was actually looking at this as a job, I've been interested in stuff like this since I first got into computers. It seems extremely interesting to me. Data Analysis and Network Science are the two topics that I found the most interesting.

Oh and thanks for the offer Arti, I might take you up on that if I run into some trouble.

Data analysis is probably your safest bet, and it is applicable to the vast majority of sciences, so you should have no trouble at all finding a field you are interest in that you can apply your skills too.

But I am also assuming data analysis is highly related to/almost synonymous with experimental research, though experimental majors may focus more on design, though the analysis is still a requirement.
