Tagging @DaleSpam because he has some experience with this school

Your questions are a bit basic and broad. Do you have any specific concerns? What interests you about physics and energy?
 
UNC - Chapel Hill is definitely a good school. That said, I think you have the question backwards. Instead of asking "I am thinking about studying physics, what are possible careers?" you should ask "I would like this kind of career, what should I study?"
