Most fields really aren’t that inaccessible to curious, intelligent people. I suspect, though, that you don’t have anything other than math that you’re particularly interested in.
To survey the wide world for things you’re interested in, I’d recommend reading popularizations of science (either in book form or magazine form). Oh, and attend public lectures, they’re fun.
Or you could play the “What do I want, what do I have, how do I use what I have to get what I want?” game a lot. Maybe with multi-leveled diagrams.
I don’t feel locked in, but then… physics.
