Hey there,
I'm in second year of a physics/math degree. I've had some revelations over the past year and realize that I probably will not be interested in entering into the field of research or academia. I'm looking at the field of finance now (I hear that this is a common career path for people with a physics degree). I want to do an MSc in Quantitative Finance after my BSc (apparently they accept people with quantitative backgrounds, go figure) to maximize my changes of getting a job.
The thing is finance is a very large sector and there are many different types of jobs so what types of jobs do physicist/mathematicians go for after their degree?
