Just asking because I love physics so much but i am just wondering on the average salaries...
Where is the physics in being a pharmacist?Karimspencer said:Oh ok, is being a physics professor a lot of work. It's not like i am a lazy person :P but i am thinking that i should also be a pharmacist for i want to study pharmacy and physics...
So, can you do both.
Karimspencer said:eri, i know the requirements to be a professor however what disappoints me is the salary however i love physics.
R.P.F. said:Even if you can be among the top 5% in the fresh PhDs when you get out of grad school(Note:I'm not sure about physics but I vaguely remember in math around 95% of PhDs stop doing original work after 5 years of their PhD, which means the percentage of PhDs going into academia is less than 5%), you still get at least 9 years to go till then.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average salary for physics professors in the US is $104,700 per year.
Factors that can influence the salary of a physics professor include their level of experience, the institution they work for, their area of specialization, and their geographic location.
Yes, there can be significant differences in salary between physics professors at different types of institutions. For example, professors at private universities may earn more than those at public universities, and professors at Ivy League schools may earn more than those at smaller colleges.
In addition to their salary, physics professors may receive benefits such as health insurance, retirement plans, and paid time off. They may also have access to research funding and opportunities for professional development.
The salary of a physics professor in the US is typically higher than the average salary for all occupations in the country. However, it may be lower than the salary for other high-paying professions such as doctors, lawyers, and engineers.
