Career in Mathematics / Physics.

[stickynote]

Hi,
I'm currently in high school and I am contemplating careers, what I want to do after school etc. I find maths and physics very interesting, however my parents are concerned I won't be able to find a job if I do a degree in pure Physics/Maths. Hoping someone could comment on the career opportunities, job market for this path. Just thought I'd add, not very keen on finance.
Thanks in advance.
Yours
Stickynote.
