Just dropping in to say ditto on library and information science. As a librarian I have to analyze and evaluate services and user behavior; invent new solutions to problems and keep up with changes that I never expected; design new learning spaces and research tools; organize and collect resources; and learn subject areas so I can serve students and researchers in the field. There's always something new to learn and it's a field that can lend itself to a lot of things (a lot of the information architecture, wayfinding and museum studies suggestions above dovetail nicely with the information science/library degree as well). I'm also happy to talk about the field anytime.
The only other things I can think of might be game design or anthropology/communications/social informatics researchers--like the folks who do human computer interaction stuff or the kinds of researchers and designers they hire at IDEO (http://www.ideo.com/) or that go through the Stanford Design program (http://www.stanford.edu/group/dschool/) or maybe the MIT Comparative Media Studies program (http://cms.mit.edu/index.php). I know that doesn't help with job titles exactly but it's what comes to mind.
