AI Thread Summary
Finishing an undergraduate physics degree raises questions about career paths, especially for those uninterested in teaching or research. High-risk, high-reward careers are appealing, but the value of a master's degree in physics compared to a bachelor's for employability is uncertain. Interest in entrepreneurship is noted, yet a lack of business ideas presents a challenge. Resources such as Physics Today and the American Institute of Physics provide job listings and employment statistics for physics graduates, which can aid in exploring non-academic opportunities.

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 don't think its my vocation to get a doctorate of either. Any help would be appreciated.
