Is there any field in physics I can major in as Msc?

In summary, the speaker is studying Physics and hoping to secure a job in the field after completing a BSc. They are considering pursuing an MSc or Meng, but are concerned about their age. They mention that most physicists end up teaching or working in theoretical fields, and ask if there are any other options in physics that could lead to a job in a company. The other person suggests the software industry and getting an MS in Computer Science, as it is well paid and enjoyable. The speaker finds this option interesting and is considering it.

Hello, I study Physics and I'm hoping with my Bsc I would be able to secure a job in this field but I discovered that most physicist are either teaching and/or scientists chasing theories...is there any field in physics I can major in as Msc? because i would really like to work in a company.unlike other disciplines such as Account,...i mean an accountant might end up in a bank

Sorry, I've been busy.well, I have come to my conclusion. I would rather go for my Msc/Meng, considering my age I don't think I can subscribe for any B's(Bachelor degrees). THANKS for the post!
