Career Paths with BS Applied Physics: What Now?

[tinepearl]

I guess i posted in the wrong section and so i reposted it. Sorry.

Newbie :D

I am from the Philippines. I just graduated from High School and will continue my studies at the University of the Philippine Los Banos under the College of Arts and Sciences, BS Applied Physics.

Now I would want to ask what will be my future in this course? What i mean is about the jobs available for Applied Physicists. Another thing is that i would want to be a doctor, so i am planning to take units in nuclear medicine? as advised by my teacher. Is it possible? After graduating from BS Applied Physics can I enroll and take up Master's Degree in Nuclear Medicine? And that would be in the University of Santo Tomas. What i am referring to Medical Physics.

Thank you very much :D I badly need your answers... :D

PS: I would want to know the jobs available if ever I'll not continue with Medical Physics and Applied Physics Alone?
