Is it possible to get a job in aerospace industries with a major in physics? I am planning to go for either a MS or PhD later on if I do pick a BS in physics.

I like theory more than applications. Obviously applications are important, but physics appeals to me more. Its the kind of reading I do in my free time.

What kinds of jobs would be available with a BS in physics?

Boeing is a huge industry here in the Seattle area, and they hire physics majors.

But you should consider studying Aerospace Engineering if your true goal is to work in aerospace.
