Me?
Law.

Not sure we can really tell that much by what we studied (and with reference to this thread by what we *label* ourselves either!). Perhaps that old saying is worth remembering here: The Proof is in the Pudding - what it is we actually *do* every day (and from the dates on some of the posts that does include the weekend!).

For me that's a whole bunch of things that I can guarantee would be different from the next person; but hopefully we would have something fundamental in common (otherwise why would we all be subscribers to this list? Although perhaps that's a more complicated question sometimes ;) ): information. That's what drives me to come into work each day and enjoy what I do anyways.

[Just about to look at that "data as information" thread now so my disclaimer to the above statement would be: ... however information may be defined... ]
