I just sent my UCAS application for these degrees. Most probably I will end up with Mphys (maybe Msci), but I will see which universities accept me.

Now my question is: what jobs/ careers can I pursue with this degree? What about this degree plus a PhD?

And that besides teaching careers (I wouldn't like it and it's also quite competitive as I hear). I don't think I would enjoy doing research in a lab either.

What kind of work can I do? Can I work in robotics? Energetics?

There are opportunities in physics related roles, plus finance, accounting, actuarial, software development, IT, consulting, and others too.
