Completely unrelated fields like what?

Traditionally, the answer has been "Finance!" but I don't see that particular job market bouncing back quickly.

You're right, that's probably still going to be an option.

I'd forgotten about it, but I used to share an office with a guy who went into management consulting at the end of his PhD.

Last time I saw him, he was trying to figure out whether one insanely large number in Hong Kong dollars was worth more or less than some other insanely large number in pounds sterling, because those were the salaries he'd been offered.
