This is great! Thanks!

I've had a related idea a while back - I wish there were walkthroughs for university fields of study. Like a class that discusses the tables of contents (not so much the actual contents!) of courses of other fields at a level that would be understandable to prospective students of the field.

This would reduce unknown unknowns.

As someone who has studied CS, at times it would've actually been useful to know what areas electrical engineers and mechanical engineers are studying, and what the major topics in each course are. Be it to work closely with people who did study those fields, find the right people in the first place or possibly even as a seed to be able to learn just enough of their field to help myself.

Of course for such technical fields I can read the course descriptions myself and make educated (hah!) guesses, but if I turn to some unrelated fields (e.g. veterinary studies) out of sheer curiosity I'm lost.
