Low-Hanging Fruit

A graph of "Low-hanging fruit" versus "Popularity of a field". When a field isn't popular, there's a ton of low-hanging fruit. As the field becomes more popular though, that kind of fruit diminishes.

“But how will I know if the unpopular field I choose will have good, important fruit?”

“And that’s why you’ve got to be in it for the fruit itself, not what anyone else says.”
