<p>I want to major in physics. What kind of jobs can i get with a physics degree besides a being professor or researcher? I just want to gauge my options.</p>
<p>you can take the necessary prereqs and go to med school
or law school.
physics gives you quantative skills that will really help you in any field.</p>
<p>you could become a CIA analyst or perhaps a physicist</p>
<p>Astronaut!</p>
<p>NSA hires physicists.
Or you can go to wall street.</p>
<p>Hmm question: can you get a PhD in, say, particle physics after getting a bachelors in engineering?</p>
<p>as long as you make over a B average, it’s one of the most employable majors next to math and obviously a BS from Wharton. it shows that you have quantitative skills, and if you want a high paying job straight out of school, it’s all about quantitative skills. </p>
<p>and at the same time, it’s an impressive major for law school because it’s different/uncommon, impressive for biz school due to quantitative focus, and also good for med school. though of course, mind your gpa if you’re interested in professional school.</p>
<p>don’t be afraid that you’ll be stuck in a researcher/professor track. that only really applies to those with graduate degrees in physics.</p>
<p>yeah like i want to study particle physics because i find it interesting. There’s really no other major that interests me except for maybe economics, but that’s probably because the lure of money lmao. </p>
<p>i would hate to be a teacher for the rest of my life. Good to know that i have options.</p>
<p>see if i do research during the summer, will i get paid enough so i can afford to stay in philli? what is a typical research oppo for an undergrad?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Screw money; do what interests you. Study physics.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Ask and you shall receive. I just emailed a professor and they hooked me up. Pay is dependent on your previous research experience and skills.</p>
