AI Thread Summary
Pursuing a physics degree opens various career paths beyond medical school. Graduates can consider roles in engineering, particularly in failure analysis, where techniques like microscopy, SEM-EDX, and SPM are utilized. Opportunities also exist in research fields such as nanotechnology and materials engineering. Further education, such as a master's or Ph.D., can enhance prospects in these areas, allowing for specialized roles in manufacturing and advanced research.

Hi, I'm going into my second year of the physics program and I was thinking about trying out for med school afterwards. In case that doesn't pan out, what are some other jobs that require a physics degree? If I don't make it into med school, I'll probably go for a masters and probably Ph.D, but I don't know what I could do with that.
Thanks.

hi... i am also a graduate in physics program. i am now an engineer in failure analysis company. we are carrying out failure analysis through microscopy ways. we use SEM-EDX in our lab (lab service)... we also have many other equipmnts such as atomic force microscope(AFM), Fourier transform infra red (FT-IR), scanning probe microscopy(SPM) and etc..though, i think u can either involve in research of nanotech or failure analysis. ...o u can start career in engineering, such as material engineering, manufactring cmpany...
