Well, in about 5 months I will be finishing my undergraduate physics career, and I have no idea what to do. I am not very interested in being a teacher, or researcher. I am interested in a high risk, high reward career. I also am not sure whether I should get my masters... How much more attractive is having a physics masters compared to a bachleors to employers? I say all this but I am really really intested in being an entrepeneur, however, I don't really have any ideas for a buisness. I do not LOVE physics, its interesting, along with economics, but I dont think its my vocation to get a doctorate of either. Any help would be appreciated.

Visit http://www.physicstoday.org/jobs/ where you can search for non-academic positions looking for folks trained in physics
and
http://www.aip.org/statistics/ ("Employment") where there are survey results from physics-students of various levels of training.
