Hello, I study Physics and I'm hoping with my Bsc I would be able to secure a job in this field but I discovered that most physicist are either teaching and/or scientists chasing theories...is there any field in physics I can major in as Msc? because i would really like to work in a company.unlike other disciplines such as Account,...i mean an accountant might end up in a bank
 
Sorry, I've been busy.well, I have come to my conclusion. I would rather go for my Msc/Meng, considering my age I don't think I can subscribe for any B's(Bachelor degrees). THANKS for the post!
