[QUOTE="DrSteve, post: 5446157, member: 590671"] The US has a very small active space program, so jobs in that area are very scarce. Good jobs are always tough to come by, especially those where you are able to use your education and even more so for those where you can use your physics education. You probably would have better luck with the DoD than NASA, but that's outside of my realm of experience. Being able to move around is a big plus, being able to move around and be flexible about the kind of work you're willing to do, better. However, PhDs do get jobs and the way that is best done is to continuously build up your network. I would not take the approach of choosing a subfield of physics based on its likelihood of yielding a job. To make it through a program requires a sustained period of sacrifice, and that is very hard to do if you are not really devoted to the topic at hand. [/QUOTE]
