Hi Fellas,
as the day I'm graduating is slowly but surely approaching, I've noticed I don't really have many good ideas concering future career possibilities - hoping you guys can help :)
Ok, starting with background: I'll be graduating with a Master from one of the better universities in Germany with a good but not stellar final grade. I'm good with languages, but have little work experience apart from one or two university jobs. I really like physics, but I don't want to go the PhD route - I'm technically not interested enough for a experimental position and have never really delved far enough into theory. Also the amount of specialization scares me off, I have quite wide interests which vary often (not so good in a specialists world I know but eh...) and would prefer faster paced job than that of a fulltime physicist. Nevertheless I am still very interested in physics and its development and forfeiting my analytical skills is not what I am aiming for.
So to kind of sum the criteria:
I've come up with something like science journalist - quite perfect to be honest apart from the whole writing bit ;). Teaching would fit as well I guess, but I have some experience there and that isn't something for me. Apart from that I'm kinda drawing blanks - anyone got ideas?
Thanks, Riffraff

So to kind of sum the criteria:
- Semi-sciency!
- Varied work, projects with timescales < many years
- Location flexible
- Salary unimportant atm, but shouldn't destroy my options to change to something well paying if ever necessary
- Doesn't have to be forever
