Although teaching and research are two of the main careers that you can get
to with a physics degree, there are in fact very many more. In addition to
teaching you important information about the world around us and providing you with useful computational skills, physics tends to give students valuable
insight into how to approach and solve complex problems in general. These
problem solving skills are valuable to employers in many different areas of
government and industry. Physics graduates are getting good positions in
government labs, as research scientists in industry and hospitals, and
even in the finance industry. Some of these professions require only a
Bachelors Degree, whereas some require postgraduate education (i.e. a Masters
degree or even a PhD.)
Let me now tell you a little about the topic that got me hooked on Physics,
and made me realize that this was the career I wanted to pursue: black holes.
