<p>See I want to major is in Physics. But the reason is that many many people are saying that I won't be able to find jobs in Physics- only research and teach(which I don't like to do). I currently major in Computer Science but actually hate it cuz I thought that I would make alot of money and find it easier to get a job. I don't know, I love physics but I don't want to end up jobless especially in occupations in areas I don't like like teaching and maybe research.</p>
<p>Oh and my school is not IVY for consideration</p>
<p>Don't worry your struggle to find a major is shared by many. </p>
<p>Firstly if you hate computer science then get out now. You don't want to end up doing a job you dislike no matter how much money you make. </p>
<p>If you major in physics and want to get a job related to physics then you are probably correct in saying you will need to do research or teach. And to do those things you will probably need to get a PhD (at least a masters and working towards PhD...).</p>
<p>To be honest you just need to take a step back and think about what you enjoy doing, enjoy working with, and are interested in learning more about. My biggest advice for you, do not do something because you think it will be easy to get a job or make good money.</p>
<p>^ As a physics major, you're not limited to being a physicist. I've seen some of my former chemical engineering professors who are actually physicists by training. Also, I've encountered several students who are physics major who are working as engineers. Having a type of degree doesn't necessary limit you to that type of profession. It just mean you're better qualify in that area :)</p>
<p>If you let us know what it is you like to do along with what it is you don't like to do that might make it easier to give advice.</p>
<p>Do you like working with people? Do you like working with you hands? Are you mechanically inclined? Do you prefer conceptualization or praticallity? etc...</p>
<p>I am an engineering major who is a physicist at heart. I chose (electrical) engineering over physics for similar reasons as the OP.</p>
<p>If going to graduate school is not a problem, then I suggest going for that physics degree. To make yourself easily employable you will probably need to go to graduate school in an engineering field. I have heard that Materials Engineering attracts a lot of physics majors. Otherwise, pick an engineering field that interests you... materials, chemical, and electrical (semiconductor/nano) will tend to have more physics than others.</p>
<p>Since I am unsure of my situation after undergrad, I decided to drop physics and go with engineering because it gives me more flexibility. Under different circumstances I'd probably go for the physics degree.</p>
