High-Paying jobs accepting physics BAs?

[DoesntCommute]

I'm looking for opinions/advice... what kinds of jobs do you think I could get with a BA in physics that would pay the most?

I'm looking for something to do starting next fall.

What's the highest-paying job you've applied for? Probably that one.

Some CEOs are paid in the millions per year and have physics degrees.

You can start your own company next Fall.

Well, while it's not a "high" paying position, if you entered an alternative certification program and began teaching high school physics with just a bachelor's, you're probably looking at a $32k-$42k/year salary depending on geographic location and local school politics.

I wonder though with the budget troubles that so many states are having, if their really is much hiring of teachers going on? Probably depends a lot on the state or area though.

I'm willing to bet that for physics and math teachers, there will always be a need, if you're not constraining yourself to any geographic locations and/or ...certain neighborhoods...
