Game Design and Development
Even though technnically I'm a programmer by trade, I have a particular passion for game design since, well, I see it screwed up so often. Anyone can be a designer, but very few people can be excellent designers. I'd argue that a great game designer is worth significantly more than a great programmer, and is probably 10x harder to find.
