Your take on Digital Forensics degree

[Chebasaz]

As has been noted, Law Enforcement and legal teams are the usual markets for this skill set. In the IT side of the house, Information Assurance is the primary user. Unless you're coming from one of those background, I'd question the viability of getting a job right out the gate.

On the other hand, if it's just for the "I find this interesting" factor, it's pretty darn neat. I've used EnCase and it's scary what you can pull from even a formatted hard drive. If you end up taking the course, expect a lot of legal education as well (chain of custody, rights of privacy, etc). It's not all going to be technical classes.
