<p>Bojangles, did you actually read the document I put up? It goes into way more detail than me. Yes, there are some new physics buildings being made, and yes tenured physics professors, or other physicists who have achived high status in the profession (such as those at GT) can make good money. The problem isn’t making money once you’re at the top of your field; its getting there.</p>
<p>Also, just because somebody 100 years ago said physics was going to suck and then it didn’t doesn’t mean my statment isn’t valid. late 19th century, physicists reached a wall because they didn’t grokk electromanitism witch was breached in about 30 years, just like we are reaching a wall with quantum physics & inconsistinices with other physics theories. Maybe physics will get pasts its current day problems sometime in the future, but right now physics is not the best science field to be in.</p>
