<p>My nephew (husband's side) is a Patent Lawyer, and his sister is a Physician's Assistant. They both make a pretty decent salary, and love what they're doing. These are both "service" jobs, and it seems that the only growth careers left in America are those that provide a service that cannot be performed over the telephone from India.</p>
<p>I worry about job opportunities for my D. She's a physics major who has dreams of a career research. I somehow doubt that there are many opportunities of that sort. She's not the corporate type at all, and is somewhat shy, so any job requiring a gregarious personality are not on her radar. What the heck does one do with physics (she understands that she will need at least a master's degree in this discipline)?</p>
