"debate" would apply towards trial lawyers, those that, well, go to trial, such as criminal or tort/malpractice law. Most law is not about debate per se but about NEGOTIATION. With that said, intellectual property and bankruptcy law is "hot" right now.
Also industries you might look at are IT, engineering such as Electrical and Mechanical, and health care such as Radiology Tech (or whatever its called).
Those fields should always have you employed at good salaries.
