Career option with Bsc physics major.

AI Thread Summary
A physics major with a strong interest in computer science and programming has several viable career paths. Physics is a programming-intensive field, making it a good foundation for careers in artificial intelligence and robotics. If programming is the primary interest, pursuing a computer science major may be more beneficial. For those focused on robotics and AI, an engineering degree is recommended. Additionally, a pathway involving a bachelor's in physics followed by a PhD in engineering is a strong option. Overall, a physics degree opens doors to diverse careers, including programming, law, and finance.

I have physics as my major(honours) in Bsc and have the subject combination of computer science, math and physics. And I am interested in C.sc and love PROGRAMMING. So what will be the better career option for me ?
PS: I am interested in knowing career aspects in artificial intelligence and robotics programming as well and please mention the course that I should take.

Ultimately, only you can decide that. Since your declared major is physics, I assume you "love" the subject as well. If you really enjoy programming, there's good news for you: physics can be very programming intensive.

If you're really only interested in programming and cs, I think a cs major would be your best bet. As for robotics and ai, you might want to consider an engineering degree; if you're planning on going to grad school, getting your bachelors in physics and PhD in engineering is also a great route.

Finally, to address the topic's title. There are a ton of career paths for a physics major, including everything from programming to law to finance.
 
I don't know if anyone on here works for any of the well known defense companies of your country, whichever country you are from?? Also, if you choose to work in one, do you think the engineering education provide from your school would adequately prepare you for the job. What do I mean by that? Well if you work at say Lockheed Martin and you work in the latest iteration of a missile or if you work at Pratt & Whitney, they assign you to work in the team helping out with building the jet...
Hello, I graduated from undergrad a few years ago with a Major in Physics and minor in Electrical Engineering. I tried to get experience working on and testing circuits through my professor who studied Neutrinos, however covid caused the opportunity to go away and I graduated with no experience or internships. I have attempted to break into the engineering industry with no success. Right now I am considering going for a Masters in Electrical Engineering and I need advice on if this would be...
So lately, my interest in the realm of optics/optoelectronics/photonics engineering has grown and I have started to seriously consider pursuing a career in the field. I have done a bit of career research and also have done some learning on the side to gather more knowledge on these topics. However, I have some questions on what a career in these fields would look like, and I wanted to find out more about this area to know what I would be getting myself into if I did make the choice to pursue...
