I *think* I am interested in Computational Physics, from what I have seen around from Googling the topic, as well as from some YouTube videos.

I was wondering what kind of careers are available for someone interested in Computational Physics (I want to do something in research) and are computational physicists in any sort of demand?

Thanks, Brin

The computational physics option provides a thorough study of computer science and computational physics as well as a solid background in physics and mathematics

The first thing I think of for careers would be the ultra hot gaming industry.
 
This really interests me...it's what I want to do as well, But are there no jobs in the Sustainable Energy field?

I am going for a BS in Engineering Physics and an MA in CS, I would be very interested if you find what courses you need to take.
