    If this implies success in that field, I would choose financial investing.

    Using a bit of those funds, I could go learn and become an expert in many fields and enjoy each one. If your not learnin’ you’re dyin’

      You would be disappointed to discover that they watch for this and will ask you to leave if they suspect anything.

        Oh I know, but I’d get so good I’d somehow go undetected. Just let me fantasize! Lol

        Then like asking a genie to grant me more wishes I’d take the money and become an expert in something else lol and it be a never ending wish scheme.

    Physics, all of it. It’s such an interesting fields and I’d love to understand all the new discoveries without an article dumbing it down for me.

    Probably carpentry. It’s highly relevant to what I do for a living. I have the tools and the physical abilities but there are big holes in my know-how

    Public speaking. You could get a lot of stuff done and fixed if you can convince people to do it. Doesn’t matter how good or smart you are if you can’t convince other people.

    This question made me realize that I could become an expert in anything I wanted at any time; there is nothing stopping me. I guess I’m just not interested.

    Survivalist knowledge would be practical in emergency situations. You’d get things like first aid, nutrition, self-defense… Seems pretty broadly applicable.

    e: Thought of something. I want to be an expert assassin. Really top grade action movie shit so I can kill whoever I want while maintaining safety, secrecy, and connections.

      Good one. I’m studying Esperanto right now, because I watched a TedTalks vid where they said learning Esperanto (because it’s fairly easy to learn) teaches your brain to be bilingual. And that in turn, makes it much easier to start learning other languages.

      Dankon, amiko!

    Mechanical Engineering. Firstly because I am already studying it, but it’s also a super broad field, so if I’m an expert in all of it, I’ve just become an expert in like a dozen different fields.

    Aerospace, biomedical, materials science, robotics, mechatronics, fluid dynamics, dynamic systems & controls, nuclear energy and all the other energy production types like fusion, even some branches in quantum computing and weird physics like Alcubierre drives.

    Sure maybe it’s limited to the extent of where those fields are now, but I basically just became an expert in all of human technology.

    An existing field?

    I mean, if not, I think that it’d be a pretty easy call to be one that nobody is in, preferably one from the future – now you have access to a bunch of unique and thus highly-valuable knowledge.
