So… I want to know- what do you, my fellow dopers, consider yourselves experts in? You don’t necessarily have to know any particular subject better than anyone else; I’m 20, and pretty well educated, but I have no illusions- I don’t know shit yet. Put it this way; if you were only going to answer one question, what area would you want it to be in? (Or areas, if applicable) ---

Boobies! Not that my field of work has anything to do with em, I just like em. 😃 Seriously though I have knowledge in a vast number of areas, not much depth in anything in particular. I’ll take potpourri for 200 Alex. :dubious: ---

I’ll take Medicine for $1000 Alex. Not that it is my field, at all. I just like to watch The Learning Channel, and ER, and browse WebMD. It is an interest of mine… ---

Wouldn’t class myself as an expert, but I’m fairly handy in a recording studio. And of course I’ll minor in boobies. ---

Not an expert, but I’m pretty well-versed in geology (it being my profession), as well as baseball. And I have a better-than-average knowledge of how cars work. ---

I’m an expert at writing resumes, job interviews and digging to get the true dirt on a company…and yes, I’m unemployed. I can also talk your pants off about eBay. I buy, sell and consider myself pretty dang good at marketing. ---

Animated features…or for you plebes out there…cartoons. I spend most of my waking hours when I am NOT at work either looking at 'toon fansites or watching a toon movie or catching the lastest ep of something on Cartoon Network. I am a toon-a-holic.😃 IDBB ---

I’ll go ahead and fess up to it, I could answer just about any Piers Anthony-related question. I own all of his books but 3 that are OOP, and most of those I have two copies of (one to read, one to keep nice n’ shiny on the bookcase). I’ll go hide now. ---

My knowledge is a mile wide and an inch deep. I know one thing about a lot of things. The things I know a lot about are generally too boring to talk about. ---

Mersklayvern, what a question. I know too much about cleaning. My skull is stuffed with useless information about, well, throw a dart. I know way too much about pocket knives. What’s it got in its pocketses? Well, unless it’s Frodo, the answer is a pocket knife. I know a good bit about lawns and gardens, too. I know some things you really don’t want to know. I’m sure of that. Remember Tiny Tim, the entertainer? (not Bob Cratchit’s kid) I know only six or seven things about him. 'Member FDIC? I 'member that. You 'member LS/MFT? Yeah, I know…who cares… ---

I know WAY more than I ever thought I would about how to design a heating and cooling plant for a college campus, or military installation and have it function correctly. . . Any questions? ---

I am only seventeen so my area of expertise is mainly sleeping in class. There are some random things that I know about but mostly in nature that I learned from hunting and some other stuff thrown in. But as the op said in all reality I know shit. I would want my question"how do you spell your name." ---

I would hestitate to claim to be an expert on this board. But I know a lot more than anyone else I know about serial and spree killers, and a fair amount about mass murderers. ---

I do home and restaurant remodel. I install windows for Home Depot and Pacesetter. I do service bureau image processing. I have worked in photo/electronics retail. I have worked as a portrait photographer and custom printer. I have a lifetime hobby of Bible study including original language meanings. I am the Ultimate Trekker. But, I am still learning in all these areas. Sometimes, I can help you guys learn. It’s a nice arrangement. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-line-is-yours-anyway/185740.md?page=2)
