What kind of job requires degree in physics

[Mrvile]

I think accident investigator was one. Maybe engineering? I know I'm missing a bunch, help!

 

[slycat]

physicist?

 

[Mrvile]

What does a physicist do? I know its a dumb question but seriously I don't know.

 

[Armitage]

I work with space systems, mostly astrodynamics. There are a few physics degrees, though most are math or engineering of one flavor or another.

Physicist.

Seriously: NASA engineers, Power plans (Nuclear) engineers are just two examples.

Hmm I guess. What about like basic physics like dropping and falling and throwing and stuff like that. Forensics does a lot of falling and throwing work.

Hell... if you studied enough E/M, you got a nice job ready for ya in electrical engineering.

research.....jus spend all your days searching for the next new particle, or search for the next black hole or something...theres plenty of interesting jobs for people with a physics degree.

if u have a degree you are very employable anywhere

lol, rollercoaster designer = dream job. I used to dream of it as I played hours and hours of Roller Coaster Tycoon. Man, I was L337!

Wow. no-one mentioned that a degree in Physics, is *extraordinarily useful* these days, in the video-game industry? Seriously. If you're a laid-off NASA engineer, go find a large game studio house to work for. They can more than likely use you.

A physics degree really gives you a pretty wide variety of job options. Physics people generally have good problem solving skills, so they are pretty desireable by a lot of different industries.

The world has a lot more research grants available than qualified researchers. Physicists are prime researchers, even at the M.S level.

if you get a bachelors the job title i think is called "Unemployment"

need a phd to get anywhere.
