elabed haidar said:hello everyone my name is abed haidar and i am from lebanon i really want to know if someone is studying pure physics what major does he have other than teaching and research??
...I'm not exactly sure what you're asking here. He would probably have a physics Ph.D?
second if i study electronics can i do electrical engieering only or there are other choices??

elabed haidar said:thank you sir so what about pure physics other than teaching and research you said we can do applied physics what do you mean and in pure physics can i continue with this degree in mechanical engineering
last thing in electronics other than electrical engineering can we do computer or telecominucation thank you very much sir for your help

In applied physics (sometimes also called Engineering Physics), during the first few semesters you will have standard physics education, but later on the courses will be focused on applications, they can be focused on a field of engineering e.g. electrical or mechanical (this depends on the university).
You can also switch fields (i.e. bachelor in physics and master in engineering or vice versa), between Engineering & Physics, but you have to make up for the missing courses, this is in general not easy, you need at least one year of extra courses to make up for the difference.
I doubt you can do Telecommunication or computer eng (both are branches of Electrical Engineering) with that Electronics degree. Telecommunication especially require some really specialized courses (Networks, Protocols etc...).
With a bachelor in physics degree (doesn't matter pure or applied), you should be able to handle technical jobs across different fields (remember, that a very important factor in education is not only learning, but how to learn and adapt). Not every one who graduates works in his/her specific field.
I would suggest doing what you like most, and don't think about the future too much.

Physics is the study of matter, energy, and the fundamental laws of the universe. It is a broad field that covers topics such as mechanics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, and quantum mechanics. Electronics, on the other hand, focuses specifically on the design, development, and application of electronic devices and systems. While both majors involve a strong foundation in math, physics majors tend to have a more theoretical and mathematical approach, while electronics majors have a more hands-on and practical focus.
Physics and electronics majors have a wide range of career opportunities in fields such as research and development, engineering, education, and technology. Some common job titles for physics majors include physicist, research scientist, data analyst, and engineer. For electronics majors, common job titles include electronics engineer, circuit designer, software developer, and technical support specialist.
Both physics and electronics majors require strong analytical and problem-solving skills, as well as a solid foundation in math and science. In addition, physics majors should have a strong understanding of theoretical concepts and be able to apply them to real-world problems. Electronics majors should have a good understanding of circuit design, programming, and various electronic components and systems.
No, prior experience is not necessary for either major. However, having a strong interest and aptitude in math and science is important for success in these majors. It can also be helpful to have some exposure to physics and electronics through courses or extracurricular activities before committing to a major.
There are many resources available for students interested in these majors, such as academic advisors, career counselors, and departmental websites. Additionally, students can attend career fairs and networking events, join student organizations related to physics and electronics, and talk to current students or professionals in the field. It can also be helpful to research different universities and their specific programs to find the best fit for your interests and goals.
