Research - Type of research I should look into?

I'm in a program at my school where I am required to work with a professor on academic research of some kind. If I need to do this, I figure I might as well find a topic of research that will benefit me in the future. Does anyone have any ideas what type of research I should look into? My dream career is the same as most of yours, so if you had to find a professor (at a target with a bschool) to work with, what research would they be working on in an ideal world?

The program's scope is pretty simple. We do research of any kind (for example, last year I worked in a cancer lab). I'd rather not discuss what we get in return.

Thanks for your thoughts.
