working for boeing or nasa will NOT make you millions.. and unless you make 7-figures, you probably won't make millions if your'e a salaried worker..

but working for boeing would be fun.. i'd like to work for boeing or nasa or lockheed.. or northrop grumman.. oh wait, i do work there.. =)

i'm not sure, but i think it'll be hard to find a job with a bs in physics.. don't quote me on that though

You must've forgotten step 1.5) Hit the lottery

No way you'll make millions working for a government agency or a corporation (unless we're talking over a lifetime).

heh, I quoted you on it

Seriously though, you're right. If I could do it again, it would be CS probably.

WTF do I do now?

Grad school. A buddy of mine graduated with a BS in Physics, and a BS in Math. After 2 years of not finding any jobs (not even an interview) he's going back to grad school.
