Here's something neat you can do with a bachelor's degree in physics

AI Thread Summary
Christopher L. Eisgruber has been appointed as the 20th president of Princeton University, effective July 1, succeeding Shirley M. Tilghman after her 12-year tenure. Eisgruber has a notable background, including serving as provost, attending law school, clerking for the U.S. Supreme Court, and teaching at NYU Law School. The discussion touches on the potential impact of his presidency on the Physics Department, with some humor about graduate school admissions becoming less strict under his leadership.

I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay.
