I have a B.S. in physics from a reputable school with a good GPA, numerous publications in highly reputable journals and I am still not able to get a job anywhere. Hell, I can't even get an interview because very very few jobs want someone with a degree in physics. They want an engineering discipline or computer science discipline. Both of which I'm very well versed in from my research experience and highly capable.
Yet, I've been told at least 20 times this year that a Physics degree is not what they are looking for.
I was planning on getting my M.S. right away, but I really need a job to pay for piling up bills and am thus only able to go part-time.
My advice, or rather statement, is do not try to get a job with just a B.S. in physics.
My problem was believing my advisors and online sources that engineering/comp sci disciplines would be intersted in a physics degree.
/Edit: I am so depressed lol
